Weekly Meal Plan November 6-11
Book Tour Week Dinners! It’s Sunday night and I’m knocking this out fast. I’m so grateful to everyone who came to say hello at our book events this weekend, thank you! I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for you all. Next week the book events continue, so while I was tempted to skip the meal planning and…
Weekly Meal Plan // Oct 30-Nov 4
MY COOKBOOK IS HERE! I still haven’t seen my book baby in hardcover, but you might hear my scream/tears/excitement when it arrives at my door this week. I’m trying to stay rested and healthy (check back on how that’s going, so far I’m up every night at 3 AM stressing about book events). As my…
Weekly Meal Plan // October 16-21
Busy Week Ahead! I’m heading into a few weeks of high stress, an over-packed calendar of cookbook events plus all the regular family stuff. Buckle your seatbelt. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m so grateful and thankful for every one of these events and opportunities and don’t want to seem otherwise. But I’m also on…
Weekly Meal Plan // August 22-26
Late Summer Inspiration I have so much to share with you all, but not enough time to share it. My husband and I stopped for a coffee and some shopping at Central Market today and it inspired ideas for new recipes (yay!). This week’s meal plan continues with slow cooker, Instant Pot and grilling recipes….
Weekly Meal Plan // August 14-19 // Back to School

Weekly Meal Plan // Too Hot To Cook
What to Cook When It’s Too Hot to Cook How’s summer? I’m back in Houston after a fun-filled summer. My youngest starts pre-season sports tomorrow and I’m currently a broken record stuck on “have you done your summer reading” and “unpack your suitcase.” We’re slowly transitioning to a routine, one baby step at a time….
Weekly Meal Plan // March 20-25
Post Vacation Blues What’s your post-vacation dinner of choice? Usually, our go-to is an order of fajitas or a big batch of spaghetti. We really don’t deviate between those two. Saturday night, it was fajitas delivered to the door after a day that included a water taxi, regular taxi, the most chaotic airport situation I’ve…
Weekly Meal Plan // March 7-11
The Week Ahead I’m jumping right in today, lots to mention! My husband is in charge of Sunday night dinner, and he’s making fajitas on the grill. I have a feeling he’ll head to one of his favorite spots, La Michoacana Meat Market, and stock up on pre-marinated chicken and carne asada. I’m a fan…
Weekly Meal Plan // February 28-March 4
March Madness! (Not the basketball kind…) My meal plans might be quick and sparse for the next two months. I’m about to embark on two months of the busiest schedule I’ve ever had. Besides my regular cooking classes/blog/social media workload, two days a week will be spent in a studio cooking for a super exciting…
