A Super Easy Weekly Meal Plan It’s one of those weeks! Between Sunday and Friday, I have five cooking classes, a photo shoot, three blog posts to write, multiple recipes to edit and a pop-up dinner for 100 to finalize. So many of you have the same schedule in a different capacity. I just ran…

Weekly Meal Plan // September 8-13
I’m home from a whirlwind of cooking and eating at my fall cooking retreat. It’s the fifth group I’ve hosted at the cozy and charming Vintage Round Top. The table was filled with an amazing group of mother-daughter pairs, new friends and eager cooks. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to cram into…
Weekly Meal Plan // September 2-6
An Easy Meal Plan for Labor Day and Beyond MONDAY It’s Labor Day! Fire up the grill, make some burgers and enjoy a lazy day at home. Ina Garten’s bleu cheese burger recipe is delicious, I add about 1/2 to 1 cup of gluten-free oats to the meat mixture for added fiber. Skip the pat…
Weekly Meal Plan // August 25-30
SUNDAY I’m in the stage of back-to-school where the calendar starts to feel daunting. You with me? Putting all the games, practices, activities and events on the calendar is making me hyperventilate. To keep things mellow, I’m making extra easy meals this week. First off, sptachcocked chicken is a sheet pan meal with easy clean…
Back-to-School Meal Plan // August 19-23
Let’s Go! We start school this week, and this has definitely been our fastest summer yet. We finished up summer reading, labeled binders, put our names on books and generally we’re geared up. Back to meal planning. I promise it will make your week less stressful. Check what you have in the pantry and fridge…
Weekly Meal Plan // August 12-16
An Easy, No-Oven Weekly Meal Plan Back-to-school season means back-to-routine season. Healthy dinners at home are the first place to start. And an easy weekly meal plan is just what I need to tackle the schedule of dentist appointments, ortho appointments, haircuts and errands we have on deck. My kids won’t be allowed back to…
Summer Cooking
Why I Don’t Meal Plan During Summer Break Routine is good, and so is a break from routine. Summer cooking means cooking from the farmer’s market, grilling outdoors, making big snack platters that “count” as dinner, and generally just relaxing and enjoying a looser schedule. During the school year, our schedule is like a military…
Fourth of July Menu
What We’re Cooking for the 4th I’m planning an easy 4th of July menu that will feed a crowd, but won’t knock me off my feet in terms of prep and cook time. I want something different than burgers and dogs, although truthfully I love those too. Here’s some menu inspiration in case it helps…
Weekly Meal Plan
Your Dinner Plan for May 19-24 Three days left until summer. I don’t know about you, but summer break can’t get here fast enough. It means less driving, less homework and loosened schedules. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still be teaching cooking classes and updating my blog, but the days feel more relaxed in summer…
Weekly Meal Plan // May 13-17
I’ve hit the jackpot: My husband is making dinner tonight. He’s a master dish washer during the week, but some Sunday nights he mans the grill and I sit back with a glass of wine and the Sunday NYT. Not to mention that it’s Mother’s Day, so theoretically my kids should be fanning me and…
