Weekly Meal Plan Alert! It’s a crazy week ahead. Four cooking classes, a local TV appearance and “mom life” in between. I’m resigned to the fact that it’s just gonna be this way until summer. That’s why a weekly meal plan saves me time and again. Make a plan for your weeknight dinners and take…

Weekly Meal Plan // Ski Week Meal Plan
Spring Break! It’s spring break and we’re headed to the snow. The powder situation is record breaking, and I’m gearing up for some quad pain. We’ll need lots of carbs to recover. Lots and lots of carbs. If you’re headed to some tropical island where there’s a bikini involved, just skip over this post. But…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week of March 3

Weekly Meal Plan // February 24-March 1
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…
Weekly Meal Plan // February 18-23
MONDAY No school (and no homework!). It looks like a rainy day in Houston, and a cozy baked casserole sounds perfect. Skinnytaste has a zucchini rollatini that sounds delicious. 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…

Valentine’s Day is Thursday and I haven’t even dragged my decorations out of the attic yet. I’m all for festive holiday decor, but the effort! The effort, ya,ll! I don’t want to get them down and put them back up. You with me? Or are you a crafty Martha Stewart-type who has had origami hearts…

Weekly Meal Plan // January 28-February 1
Is it really Sunday night? I would love to share every detail of my cooking retreat this weekend, but it will have to wait for another time. I’ll share a few photos and recipes from the weekend as soon as I can. All I can say is it was a beautiful, cool and crisp weekend…
Weekly Meal Plan // January 20-25
MONDAY Meatless Monday just got tastier with these lightening fast Sichuan noodles with chilies and scallions. These noodles are tossed with Napa cabbage and grated carrots, and full of flavor from red chili flakes, sesame, soy and rice vinegar. TUESDAY Taco Tuesday is slow cooker carnitas with pickled red onions, cilantro and jalapeño green goddess…
