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…

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 14
SUNDAY Skinnytaste Sloppy Joe’s. This is my favorite homemade sloppy joe recipe, and it’s relatively fast. Perfect for a cold and cozy Sunday. If you don’t want it on a bun, serve it with cauliflower rice or over sautéd spinach. We’re serving ours with a big salad on the side dressed with my super simple…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 13
A Super Easy (and mostly healthy) Weekly Meal Plan We’re rolling into April and that time of year that always feels the most frenetic to me. As I’ve said before, it’s like riding a bicycle downhill with no handlebars. We have a few April birthdays in our family, and weekends are filled with an Earth…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 12
Spring is on its way, and these last months of the school year will fly by. We are in the midst of wrapping up summer plans and it has me thinking about summer shorts, white jeans and swimsuits. Goodbye corned beef, hello kale. SUNDAY We’re still technically on spring break, and today is a travel…
French Dip Sandwiches (Slow Cooker or Instant Pot)
Just in time for the Super Bowl, something you can sink your teeth into (since JT is taken). These French Dip Sandwiches have been a staple in our house since a friend turned me on to them a few years ago. They take all of five minutes to throw together, and you can keep them…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 5
SUNDAY Instant Pot Korean Short Ribs from Nom Nom Paleo look insanely delicious. Pair them with steamed broccoli or bok choy and tangy slaw. To make the slaw Whole30, use almond butter instead of peanut butter and coconut aminos instead of soy. MONDAY Spiralized zucchini with almond-sesame sauce. I’ll use coconut aminos instead of tamari…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 4
SUNDAY It’s football playoffs and the celebration of a successful 8th grade musical performance (and the end of rehearsals). Another batch of buffalo chicken wings is in the works and my kids requested enchiladas. The Against All Grain Easy Enchilada Sauce is Whole30 compliant. Mix two cups of shredded rotisserie chicken with a 1/2 cup of…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 3
Here we are, rolling into week 3 of Whole 30 meal plans. For the most part, I’m not craving anything (except maybe the beer in the photo above). I’m sleeping like a champ, although I’ve been tired every afternoon. Not sure if that’s my Hashimoto’s and low thyroid talking, or the zen of Whole 30….
Whole30 Meal Plan // Week 2
Whole30 Meal Plan // Week 2 Guys. Not sure if you feel like I do, but I’m a little worn out. I’ve been sleeping like a champ and following Whole30 to the letter, but I’m still walking around in a fog. Either my energy is sapped from breaking up sibling fights, or from the loss…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 1
Here we go! It’s time to roll into New Year’s resolutions. Some say it’s not healthy to indulge and deprive, but sorry, I’m a human being. Really, it’s all about perspective. In January, I plan to add things to my diet. More whole foods, more vegetables, more healthy fats that fill me up and keep…
