Weekly Meal Plan: October 2-6
WHOLE 30 MEAL PLAN WEEK ONE Truth be told, I want to try Whole 30 for the month of October, but I’m a little scared. I’m jumping in and giving it a shot anyway. I’ve been pinning Whole 30 recipes and meal plans and taking copious notes. The basic premise is if you eliminate sugar,…
Weeknight Dinners: May 1-5
Olé! We are officially entering margarita weather, and I can’t wait to share a recipe for a healthy(ish) jalapeno and mint version later this week. We are working towards the finish line of summer, but first there are dance recitals, baseball playoffs and finals. One foot in front of the other, soldiers. I feel like the best way to…
Turkey and Wild Rice Soup
The Best Leftover Turkey Soup I had every intention of getting you this before Thanksgiving, but here we are! One of my favorite recipes from my cookbook is the Rotisserie Chicken Wild and Rice Soup (page 136). It comes together fast, it’s super flavorful and it’s just darn delicious. It dawned on me that you…
Hot Spiced Apple Cider
It’s that time of year! If it’s a cold and cozy afternoon, I love to simmer apple cider on the stove. I keep this alcohol-free so it works as an after-school warm up for kids. For a hot toddy later in the day, add an ounce or two of bourbon to your mug. When we…

Dinners! Here’s what I plan to make for dinner this week. We didn’t have school Monday and I traveled to visit my oldest daughter this weekend, so you’ll notice there’s not a recipe for Sunday night. Scroll down for a dinner party menu you can use when the spirit moves you. Have a great week,…

I’m jumping right in with the meal plan. It’s a busy week ahead as I start my Basics II six-week series and get some recipe emails out to my newsletter list. I hope you all have a great week and cook up something delicious. Take a moment to look at your schedule and make a…
Labor Day Weekend Recipes + Meal Plan
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…
