I’m writing this from a flight back to Houston from San Diego, and just let me confirm that the rumors are true: The weather is better in California. Ha! I grew up in Southern California and never thought I’d spend a major chunk of my adult life in Houston, Texas, and raise my children here….

Whole30 Meal Plan // Week of September 10
MONDAY We have a few extra kids coming over before their first Young Life meeting tonight. I’m making a big batch of weeknight chili and putting out all the fixings (grated cheese, sour cream, corn bread). If you’re doing Whole30, scoop out some of the chili before adding the beans. I may stir in a cup…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week of August 20
Go time! School starts Tuesday and I feel like there’s still so much to do. Anyone with me? Mom of the year forgot to preorder our school books and supplies, so we still need to stock up Monday morning. I feel like a chicken with its head cut off, but at least I have a…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week of August 13
I’m making this a quick one. Even though school doesn’t officially start for one more week, it feels like game on around here. 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…

A Return to Plans and Schedules (and Meal Plans) After taking a break from meal planning in June and and July, I’m ready to get back to it. This is the time of summer when late nights, loose schedules and limited structure have started to take their toll. It’s time we got back to a…

Sausage and Pepper Sheet pan Supper
Serve with a side of sauerkraut and German mustard. You can also pile the sausages and peppers into toasted hoagie rolls topped with mustard. Keep this Whole30 compliant by using Whole30 sausages and sugar-free mustard.
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 18
We are entering our last couple weeks of school and my crew is crawling to the finish line. They’re tired, burned out and a tiny bit grumpy. Summer can’t get here fast enough. These next couple weeks a meal plan will help us stay in our routine until the school year is over. It will…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 16
Let’s make this a quick one! Our dinner is in the oven and I’m quickly mapping out the week ahead. One of my kiddos is throwing a ball in the front yard, one is coming home from a softball scrimmage (and will surely be “starving”) and the oldest is sitting across from me on the…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 15
Two weeks until the first Farm Girls Supper Club and I need to make room for “all the things.” That’s why we are purging our fridge big time. Not only will it make room for recipe testing and tweaking, it will makes me feel good to use what we have. Waste not, want not. We are…
