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…

A Week of Easy Meals SUNDAY I want an easy Cinco de Mayo dinner that’s not too labor intensive. Grilled Chile-Lime Flank Steak will be perfect. I’m tempted to grill the green onions instead of using them in the marinade, watch Instagram stories to see the method. I’ll also serve this with my favorite creamy…

A Week of Easy Dinners What a weekend! We had a birthday celebration Friday, two days of a volleyball tournament inside a convention center, a middle school band concert and family photos for a local magazine article. I’m looking forward to Game of Thrones and an early bedtime! It’s the last push of the school…

When did Sunday become the new Saturday? I crave a weekend that’s a little quieter, a little less focused on youth sports and a lot more focused on recharging with my family. This Sunday, we have an extra golf team practice, a driving lesson and club volleyball. Our church routine hasn’t been very stellar this…

A cold front blew into Houston last night and all I want to do is crawl back in bed with the Sunday New York Times. Yesterday was a full day. A grilling demo at Bering’s, a Boy Scout concession stand, play dates and a b’nai mitzvah. I can not sit through a bar mitzvah ceremony…

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…

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…
