On Wednesday's show, Kojo's talking to a few guests who hear the eternal "what's for dinner?" question not infrequently. Even if you don't have young (and sometimes picky) palettes to worry about, it can still be a challenge whipping up something healthy and tasty for weeknight dinners. For a lot of people, it's not as much the cooking as the planning of meals that zaps energy.

On Wednesday's show, Kojo's talking to a few guests who hear the eternal "what's for dinner?" question not infrequently. Even if you don't have young (and sometimes picky) palettes to worry about, it can still be a challenge whipping up something healthy and tasty for weeknight dinners. For a lot of people, it's not as much the cooking as the planning of meals that zaps energy.

Nancy Tringali Piho, author of My Two-Year-Old Eats Octopus: Raising Children Who Love to Eat Everything, was on the show a few months ago talking about how to encourage kids to try new foods. The Associated Press's food editor, J.M. Hirsch, will also be with us to offer some alternatives to the same old pasta and tomato sauce in a pinch. 

What are your favorite home-cooked weeknight dinners?
