The Franklin Kitchen Reset

Forget rigid meal prep. The Franklin Kitchen Reset is a flexible way to organize your fridge and pantry, prep a few useful ingredients and make feeding your family easier all week long.

These crispy homemade granola bars are made with toasted oats, almonds, coconut and puffed brown rice. Wrap them individually for an easy make-ahead school snack the whole family can grab.

The last slow days of summer are giving way to school mornings, packed lunches and a new family rhythm. Here's how I'm resetting our kitchen for the weeks ahead, with simple lunches, healthy snacks, easy dinners and a little something made from scratch.

Fresh basil pesto, sweet cherry tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella come together in this bright Summer Pesto Pasta Salad. Perfect for porch dinners, cookouts, picnics, and your Franklin Kitchen Sunday Reset.
