Dairy-Free Creamy Tomato Soup

January 16, 2018 By msmart 2 Comments

easy weekly meal plan

When I was growing up, I loved a warm bowl of Campbell’s Tomato Soup and a side of buttery toast cut in triangles. It’s a cold and blustery day in Houston, and nothing sounds better than a big pot of creamy tomato soup. While I haven’t had a bowl of Campbell’s in at least two…

Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 3

January 15, 2018 By msmart 2 Comments

weekly meal plan

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….

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 1

January 1, 2018 By msmart Leave a Comment

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…

Holiday Granola to Feed a Crowd

December 8, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

If you don’t have a large sheetpan, use two cookie sheets when baking the granola and rotate them halfway through. The granola needs to cook in a single layer so it toasts evenly. If you use dark baking pans, decrease the time by 10 minutes and check the granola while cooking to make sure it…

Weekly Meal Plan: December 3-December 8

December 4, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

I’ve decided to “shop my freezer” this week. We have a full size freezer and it’s brimming with good-quality meat from Yonder Way Farm, frozen organic vegetables and homemade chicken bone broth (just what the doctor ordered for winter sniffles). This week I have cooking classes and food photography to shop for. As far as…

Weekly meal plan

Currently we have an unlit Christmas tree in the middle of the room, furniture that needs to be relocated until after the holidays and no elves anywhere in sight. Tomorrow morning school starts again, and with it three more weeks of routine and homework until we head to our family’s happy place in Idaho. Before…

Weeknight Meal Plan: October 29-November 3

October 30, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Back to the routine! After a quick trip to San Francisco, it feels good to be home again. Halloween isn’t always my favorite holiday (I know, bah humbug). It’s not the candy and sugar (I can swipe a Twix with the best of ’em), it’s keeping track of three costume-clad kids in the dark. As…

Whole30 meal plan

It’s the home stretch of my Whole30 experiment, but it will probably be my most challenging week because of travel. Eating at home is really the easiest way to pull this off. I’ve hit my stride of protein-packed breakfasts, easy lunches, and family-friendly dinners. But Tuesday I’m heading to San Francisco to pull off a…

Homemade Onion Soup Seasoning

October 22, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Trader Joe’s had a version of this that I loved, but for some reason they stopped selling it. I developed my own, and it’s so easy to throw together. This homemade onion seasoning is perfect for flavoring beef chuck roast for French dip sandwiches, mixed into burgers before they hit the grill or stirred into…

Whole30 Dinners Week 3 Next week is coming at me like a steam roller. Five cooking classes, two photo shoots and a partridge in a pear tree. Good thing I’m doing Whole30 because I sleep like a rock, wake up refreshed and don’t have my usual afternoon energy crash. It’s even given me new found…
