Let’s make this a quick one! Our dinner is in the oven and I’m quickly mapping out the week ahead. One of my kiddos is throwing a ball in the front yard, one is coming home from a softball scrimmage (and will surely be “starving”) and the oldest is sitting across from me on the…

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 15
Two weeks until the first Farm Girls Supper Club and I need to make room for “all the things.” That’s why we are purging our fridge big time. Not only will it make room for recipe testing and tweaking, it will makes me feel good to use what we have. Waste not, want not. We are…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 14
SUNDAY Skinnytaste Sloppy Joe’s. This is my favorite homemade sloppy joe recipe, and it’s relatively fast. Perfect for a cold and cozy Sunday. If you don’t want it on a bun, serve it with cauliflower rice or over sautéd spinach. We’re serving ours with a big salad on the side dressed with my super simple…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 13
A Super Easy (and mostly healthy) Weekly Meal Plan We’re rolling into April and that time of year that always feels the most frenetic to me. As I’ve said before, it’s like riding a bicycle downhill with no handlebars. We have a few April birthdays in our family, and weekends are filled with an Earth…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 12
MONDAY Miso soup is super fast and fits the “meatless” theme of the day. For extra veggies, add baby spinach or thinly sliced bok choy. You could also add sliced mushrooms, although I can’t get away with that in my house. Use sprouted organic tofu cut in small cubes. I’ll also make a pot of…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 12
Spring is on its way, and these last months of the school year will fly by. We are in the midst of wrapping up summer plans and it has me thinking about summer shorts, white jeans and swimsuits. Goodbye corned beef, hello kale. SUNDAY We’re still technically on spring break, and today is a travel…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 11
SPRING BREAK SKI MEALS We’re rolling into spring break, so I want an easy weeknight meal plan that will feed a hungry crew of skiers. I need easy prep, big batch meals that will satisfy a crowd. We’ll have five kids with us, so I’m planning approachable people-pleaser dinners with a heavy dose of carb!…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 10
SUNDAY It’s the Oscars and we’re hosting an exclusive party for five (plus one dog). My family has been talking menu all day, but we finally went with my 11-year-old’s request for lemon chicken picatta. The last time I made this, I served it with mashed potatoes and sautéed kale. The mashed potatoes are insane…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 9
It’s been a busy, but inspiring, few days. I’ve been in New York for the 40th anniversary of the IACP conference (the International Association of Culinary Professionals). I had some amazing (food-related) celebrity sightings: Authors of some of my favorite cookbooks were here speaking, as well as editors of food magazines, chefs, cooking teachers, nutritionists,…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 8
File this one under, “better late than never.” If you’re anything like me, a weekly meal plan keeps you sane. It’s one less thing to plan every day, and we all need to ease our load. I typically plan my meals on Sundays, but this past Sunday I was skiing with my husband and enjoying…
