There’s so much to cover this week. If you missed last week’s meal plan, you can find it here. I’m off to Denver to film videos with a brand partner Monday and Tuesday, so think good thoughts for me. I’m pretty pumped about this opportunity! Plus, Wednesday we kick off a 6-week Basics II series,…

Weekly Meal Plan // August 14-19 // Back to School
Back to School! Summer, in all its lazy glory, has come to an end. School starts Wednesday and we’re back in the routine of early mornings, sports practices and homework. Family dinners are part of the drill, and I’m happy to share what’s on my list. If you want to watch a short segment on…
Weekly Meal Plan // Too Hot To Cook
What to Cook When It’s Too Hot to Cook How’s summer? I’m back in Houston after a fun-filled summer. My youngest starts pre-season sports tomorrow and I’m currently a broken record stuck on “have you done your summer reading” and “unpack your suitcase.” We’re slowly transitioning to a routine, one baby step at a time….
Low Effort Dinners
Easy Dinner Ideas Even I get cooking burnout. My energy reserves are lower than ever right now and sometimes I just need low-effort dinners. I’m honestly trying to just make it through the next two weeks and stay calm while my kids finish finals and we celebrate our senior’s graduation. And while I’d like to…
Weekly Meal Plan // March 27-April 1
Round Top Antiques Week! I need a serious dose of courage for the week ahead. I almost didn’t do a meal plan, because I’ll be away from home a lot this week, but I decided that I love you all too much. Plus, it will help my family and I stay organized if we know…
Weekly Meal Plan // March 20-25
Post Vacation Blues What’s your post-vacation dinner of choice? Usually, our go-to is an order of fajitas or a big batch of spaghetti. We really don’t deviate between those two. Saturday night, it was fajitas delivered to the door after a day that included a water taxi, regular taxi, the most chaotic airport situation I’ve…
Weekly Meal Plan // March 7-11
The Week Ahead I’m jumping right in today, lots to mention! My husband is in charge of Sunday night dinner, and he’s making fajitas on the grill. I have a feeling he’ll head to one of his favorite spots, La Michoacana Meat Market, and stock up on pre-marinated chicken and carne asada. I’m a fan…
Weekly Meal Plan // February 28-March 4
March Madness! (Not the basketball kind…) My meal plans might be quick and sparse for the next two months. I’m about to embark on two months of the busiest schedule I’ve ever had. Besides my regular cooking classes/blog/social media workload, two days a week will be spent in a studio cooking for a super exciting…
Weekly Meal Plan // February 21-25
It was a cool, wintery long weekend in Texas. We relaxed out at Kitchenette Farm and caught up with my sister-in-law, who was visiting from southern California, and my niece. We showed them some of our favorite local sites, like Ellis Motel, Townsend, Stash and Shop Courtney Barton, and cooked an easy dinner at home….
Weekly Meal Plan // Feb 13-18
Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day Dinners I’m jumping right in tonight because it’s the Super Bowl and we’ve got things to eat and football to watch. Hope you all had a great weekend! SUNDAY Super Bowl! I mentioned our menu in an Instagram post last week, but we finally narrowed it down. BBQ pork ribs,…
