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…

Weekly Meal Plan
A Week’s Worth of Family Meals Guys, I’m making this quick because I just got back to Houston after a weekend at Kitchenette Farm. Need to get kids to focus on homework, unpack bags and focus on the week ahead. Two quick things: 1) I’ve been working on a free “how to meal plan” workbook…
Stupid Easy Dinners
Five Stupid Easy Dinners Last week I had a great conversation about meal planning with Dr. Colleen O’Grady on her podcast Power Your Parenting. I’ll share a link when it’s live!

August 30-September 4 Meal Plan
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.

I highly suggest making these breakfast potatoes pronto! To make, dice 4 russet potatoes…
Easy Weekly Meal Plan // May 3-9
An Easy Weekly Meal Plan Let’s make this fast — it’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Houston, and we’re making the most of breezy spring weather. Since I’m trying to lighten up our meals and focus on vegetables instead of cookies, this is a healthy and mostly Whole30 meal plan. It felt good to get…
Weekly Meal Plan // April 26-May 1
Time for a Reset Hi everyone! We’re making this weekly meal plan fast today because we’re deep in house projects. Couldn’t let quarantine go by without some attic organization and closet clean outs. It’s also my youngest’s birthday tomorrow, so we have work to do! After tomorrow, we’re starting a Whole30 reset, teenagers included, so…
