Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

May 1, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

weekly meal plan

This is a simple Mexican soup. If you would like to add corn tortillas as a garnish, toast and cut them into thin strips. I prefer my soup with a lot of lime – about a whole juiced lime on top of every bowl. This would also be delicious with a cup of hominy or…

Weeknight Dinners: April 23-28

April 23, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

SUNDAY It’s gorgeous in Houston, cool and crisp with a full blue sky. A good grill night for sure. Since I already have pre-marinated carne asada from Trader Joe’s, I’ll just doctor it up with some fresh lime juice. It wakes up the flavor and makes it taste brighter. I’ll let it sit at room temperature…

Pork Chile Verde

April 18, 2017 By msmart 5 Comments

weekly meal plan

Earlier this year, we had an interesting run in with food allergies around here. After a blood test showed that our oldest had 20 class III food allergies, I had to cook pretty creatively until we could get her into Texas Children’s Allergy and Immunology Center. During that time, I scoured cookbooks and the internet to…

Weeknight Dinners: April 17-21

MONDAY Meatless Monday is happening — we need to pay for all the chocolate and jelly beans. On deck: Veggie stir fry with ginger, garlic and Tamari with steamed rice and edamame on the side. There are plenty of recipes online for stir fries, but you really don’t need one. I like to sauté veggies and…

Weeknight Dinners: April 10-14, 2017

April 9, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

MONDAY Since we are spending Sunday afternoon at a Little League carnival, I’m thinking we’ll all need some nutritional redemption. Like a soup full of beans, lentils and vegetables. Enter this beans and greens soup from Bon Appetit. I’ll be using organic canned beans and garbanzos (from BPA-free cans), instead of dried, to make things faster and easier….

Weeknight Dinners: April 3-7, 2017

  Our weeknight dinners are super simple this week, and most of our meals can be put together in about 15 minutes. During the day, I’ll be in the kitchen developing new recipes for spring menus (think peas, leeks, asparagus) and photographing recipes to post on the site. I have a couple fun collaborations with other food writers…

MONDAY Whole chicken in the Crock Pot. This is such an easy way to cook a whole chicken, especially if you need to cook it around 2pm before heading to carpool and doing afternoon sports-tutoring-nutritionist appointment carpool. You can crisp up the chicken skin under the broiler before you serve it, or just dish up…

Whole Chicken in the Crock Pot

January 11, 2017 By msmart 1 Comment

The slow cooker is a revelation. There may be nay sayers (you know who you are) but there are some days that just scream for plug-it-in-and-forget-about-it in my house. It’s a no-brainer dinner when you’re running in a million different directions and know you’ll be energy depleted at the end of the day, or when you’re trying to feed several different…

Weekly Meal Plan: January 2-6, 2017

January 3, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

New year, new you. Right? At least a new dinner plan. Here’s a week’s worth of dinners to get you back on track. These dinners are fairly healthy and low carb. Eat your turkey burger between iceberg lettuce if you want to ditch the carbs. And serve the burgers and slow-roasted chicken with a big salad and…
