My Week of Dinners My attempt at starting Whole30 on September 1 was an epic fail, so we’re starting again. Some of you may have seen my confessional photo of bread, cheese, and an Aperol spritz on IG stories. Plan ahead for successful travel on Whole30. If you research Whole30 friendly restaurants, pack airplane snacks,…

Weekly Meal Plan // August 22-27
My Plan for the Week Ahead It’s been a quiet weekend around here. Sunday night I’ll clean out my fridge to prep for the week ahead and take care of at least one thing ahead of time. This “one thing” philosophy is my version of meal prep. I don’t like making whole dinners in advance,…
Whole30 Meal Plan // January 2021 // Week 1
Whole30 Meal Plan: Week 1! Here we goooooo! It felt good to take a break from blogging and get some rest and quiet time. We celebrated the holidays in Sun Valley, Idaho, with extended family. It was bluebird days and cozy nights, with lots of carbs thrown in for good measure. It’s time to reboot…
Meal Plan // October 25-30
Cozy Fall Dinners Happy weekend! I’m in Round Top, Texas, where there’s a cool front and the wind is blowing. This is the first day it feels like fall in Texas. We’re at our farm where I hope to host cooking retreats and classes soon. Although, this time to pause has given me space to…
Weekly Meal Plan // May 17-22
How did we get here? The deluge of spring activity surely wasn’t the same this year, but the days flew by none the less. And suddenly Memorial Day Weekend is upon us and the school year is winding down. Our kids finish school this week, and we’re all ready to move on to summer. Here’s…
Green Chili Chicken Burgers
Serve these tasty green chili chicken burgers in a lettuce wrap with guacamole, pickled red onions, jalapeños and cilantro. Adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe to be Whole30 compliant and super simple.
Instant Pot Picadillo
Get ready for a new favorite! This has been a favorite since I taught it in cooking classes last spring. Instant Pot pork picadillo comes together in about 10 minutes flat, and it’s a trifecta dinner in my house (meaning all three of my kids think it’s a winner). I leave the olives whole, so…
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. Not to mention my favorite lunch of chipotle mayo and lime tuna salad heaped inside half an avocado. That said, it hasn’t been a…
