weekly meal plan

Officially wiped out. We had our school fundraiser last night and I didn’t go to sleep until well past midnight. At 6:45am, the alarm went off for a volleyball tournament for my youngest. Painful. I’m finally back home, feeling totally cross eyed,  and can’t wait for bedtime. Before we can get there, let’s plan our…

Friday Love List

February 21, 2019 By msmart Leave a Comment

Friday Love List On a recent episode of The Today Show, a chef made avocado toast topped with Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning and the hosts went wild. What?

Honey Hoisin Pork Tenderloin Way back in the early 2000s, I was a frequent writer for Cooking Light magazine. Sadly, Cooking Light‘s last magazine issue was December.

I’ve also made Alexandra Kitchen eggplant involtini many times. To be honest, my kids don’t love this dinner, so I’ll probably make a very simple side…

Radicchio and Radish Salad

Radicchio and radish salad

Radicchio and Radish Salad The bright red color in this salad gets me every time, it’s too beautiful not to share with you all. To start with, butter lettuce from my garden fills up the bottom of the salad bowl and adds a mellow component. I’ll also use mixed greens when I don’t have enough…

Eton Mess

A Super Simple Dessert Eton Mess is one of the easiest desserts out there. Layers of broken meringue cookies, berries and whipped cream make for a creamy, tangy dessert.
