So many of you sent emails and messages after last week’s Farm Girls Supper Club dinner and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to the effort of so many, coupled with all of your positive energy and thoughts, the night was completely magical. Thank you! It was so powerful…

Weekly Meal Plan // September 22-28
An Easy Weekly Plan Your Whole Family Will Love! SUNDAY We’re grilling rib-eyes and bell peppers and serving everything up with chimichurri. I have all the ingredients to make this shortcut caesar salad with kale instead of romaine. MONDAY It’s my night to take dinner for my daughter’s YoungLife leaders. A big pot of weeknight…

An Easy Meal Plan for Labor Day and Beyond MONDAY It’s Labor Day! Fire up the grill, make some burgers and enjoy a lazy day at home. Ina Garten’s bleu cheese burger recipe is delicious, I add about 1/2 to 1 cup of gluten-free oats to the meat mixture for added fiber. Skip the pat…
Weekly Meal Plan // May 13-17
I’ve hit the jackpot: My husband is making dinner tonight. He’s a master dish washer during the week, but some Sunday nights he mans the grill and I sit back with a glass of wine and the Sunday NYT. Not to mention that it’s Mother’s Day, so theoretically my kids should be fanning me and…

A Week of Easy Meals SUNDAY I want an easy Cinco de Mayo dinner that’s not too labor intensive. Grilled Chile-Lime Flank Steak will be perfect. I’m tempted to grill the green onions instead of using them in the marinade, watch Instagram stories to see the method. I’ll also serve this with my favorite creamy…

A Week of Easy Dinners What a weekend! We had a birthday celebration Friday, two days of a volleyball tournament inside a convention center, a middle school band concert and family photos for a local magazine article. I’m looking forward to Game of Thrones and an early bedtime! It’s the last push of the school…

“Happiness is the joy you feel moving towards your potential…Happiness is a choice and happiness spreads. Practice it.” — Shawn Achor, from the SuperSoul Conversations podcast. Unplugging felt so good this weekend. Aside from some photos of Easter dinner, I took a break from blog posts, Instagram posts and work. I sat outside and read…
Weekly Meal Plan // April 7-12
When did Sunday become the new Saturday? I crave a weekend that’s a little quieter, a little less focused on youth sports and a lot more focused on recharging with my family. This Sunday, we have an extra golf team practice, a driving lesson and club volleyball. Our church routine hasn’t been very stellar this…
Weekly Meal Plan//April 1-5
A cold front blew into Houston last night and all I want to do is crawl back in bed with the Sunday New York Times. Yesterday was a full day. A grilling demo at Bering’s, a Boy Scout concession stand, play dates and a b’nai mitzvah. I can not sit through a bar mitzvah ceremony…
Weekly Meal Plan // February 18-23
MONDAY No school (and no homework!). It looks like a rainy day in Houston, and a cozy baked casserole sounds perfect. Skinnytaste has a zucchini rollatini that sounds delicious. I’ve also made Alexandra Kitchen eggplant involtini many times. To be honest, my kids don’t love this dinner, so I’ll probably make a very simple side…
