I hope you’re resting and relaxing over the long weekend. We’ve been working on some projects at our farm property and getting caught up on emails and work. It’s still a million degrees in Texas, which means any time outdoors has been spent in a pool. Count this as your Labor Day grilling plan, plus…

Weekly Meal Plan // August 27-31
Here’s What’s For Dinner SUNDAY Dinner is cavatappi with pesto and a sidedish of sautéed shallots and peas. I’m using up Trader Joe’s kale pesto that I bought for an “easy dinners” demo. It’s a lucky night when you have everything for a salad of baby arugula, buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, reduced balsamic, Old Country…
Weekly Meal Plan // August 20-25
My kids start school this week and I’m currently moving my oldest into her sophomore dorm. Since her freshman year was at American University in Paris, this move-in feels much more “typical.” We’ve been to three Targets, Ikea, Pottery Barn and Macy’s. Considering there are multiple universities in the DC area, finding a twin duvet…
Weekly Meal Plan // August 14-18
This week is a bit of a perfect storm. Every day is full to the brim with something. That means dinners will be strategic—low energy, not too many ingredients, easy cleanup, but delicious. It’s almost Kitchen Reboot time! Sign up ASAP! I made this cherry tomato and Calabrian chili sauce on Instagram, it’s a great…
Weekly Meal Plan//August 6-11
Back to Simple Dinners I’m getting packed up and organized for a travel day tomorrow. I can’t lie that I’m a tiny bit sad to return to the heat of Houston. Plus, there will be a serious amount of catch-up to do this coming week. But I’m thankful for such a relaxing and peaceful summer…
How to Pull Off Weeknight Meals
Weeknight Dinner Strategy August 1 is here. Yikes, how did that happen? August creates a feeling of “Sunday night blues” for me. It means I’m adding sports and school events to my calendar, reading through emails I’ve ignored and getting armored up for the school year. And by armored up, I mean whipping my kitchen…
Weekly Meal Plan // May 7 – 12
Weekly Meal Plan // May 7 – 12 SUNDAY We had a full day and tomorrow I’ll be on HoustonLife, so tonight was spent getting organized for my cooking segment. I picked up two quarts of vegetable beef soup from Tres Market Foods and made the gluten-free cornbread recipe on the back of Bob’s Red…
Weekly Meal Plan // April 30 – May 5
This might feel like a bait and switch, but this week isn’t much of a meal plan. Those of you who’ve been reading these meal plans for a while know they’re truly what I plan to make my family during the week. I’m attending The Brimm‘s entrepreneurship conference in Austin this week, so I’m officially…
Weekly Meal Plan // April 23 – 28
Let’s get right to it because I’m off to Taylor Swift! Have a great week. SUNDAY Since I’m headed to the Taylor Swift concert, the boys in my family are on their own! I have some cabbage and leeks to use up, so if I’m motivated early in the day I’ll make this soup. MONDAY…
Easy and Healthy Dinners
Easy and Healthy Dinners I may be biased, but I think Dinner is Done makes the perfect gift. So, if you need a signed cookbook or a HB + SITK apron before Mother’s Day or for teacher gifts, we endorse the idea. I also have an in-person book event this Friday in Houston, details are…
