But I couldn’t help to think that on Tuesday night I want a comforting and easy night. I don’t talk politics on my blog or social media channels, and I’m so thankful my sweet…

Parchment Paper Fish Packets

October 19, 2020 By msmart Leave a Comment

These are a “choose your own adventure” dinner. Set out the toppings and let everyone fill their own parchment paper packet.

Parchment Paper Fish Packets It may sound fancy, but parchment paper baking is a super easy method to prepare fish. Everyone in the family can add their favorite toppings (or leave them off). Toss the packets on a sheet pan, throw them in a hot oven and a few minutes later, dinner is done. Cooking…

August 30-September 4 Meal Plan

August 29, 2020 By msmart Leave a Comment

To Whole30 or Not to Whole30? Anyone else? I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a September Whole30, which has become a typical September routine around here. It’s a good reset before the holidays approach, and kills cravings from summer hedonism! But I’m not sure I have it in me. Right now, I’d like…
