Things are moving a little slow around here. Farm Girls Supper Club was Saturday night, my seasonal pop-up dinner for 80 that I host with two business partners. More on that later, but all I can say is it was a perfect night. I just need a couple more days of rest before I’m back…

Weekly Meal Plan // Week of September 30
Here we go! October is upon us, and that means we may dip below 90 degrees in Houston any day now. It also means it’s time for one of my absolute favorite things: Round Top antiquing. I first heard about Round Top circa 1993 from one of my University of Colorado roommates who grew up…
Whole30 Weekly Meal Plan // Week 4
Eleven more days of Whole30, not that I’m counting. I honestly haven’t missed the dairy, sugar, bread or pasta. Delicious Whole30 dinners and egg-based breakfasts have kept me satisfied and full.

Pre-season field hockey practices, pre-season middle school football, book pick up, locker decorating, haircuts and new shoes. You get the drill. Having a dinner plan will help me get through the week…
