Dinner is done!
A Week of Simple Meals We are moving into Farm Girls Supper Club week, which means I’ll be shopping, prepping and cooking half the menu for 90 attendees. If you’re the praying sort, I wouldn’t mind a shout out. This dinner is a labor of love. The best way I can describe it: It’s like…
I’m home from a whirlwind of cooking and eating at my fall cooking retreat. It’s the fifth group I’ve hosted at the cozy and charming Vintage Round Top. The table was filled with an amazing group of mother-daughter pairs, new friends and eager cooks. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to cram into…
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…
Your Dinner Plan for May 19-24 Three days left until summer. I don’t know about you, but summer break can’t get here fast enough. It means less driving, less homework and loosened schedules. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still be teaching cooking classes and updating my blog, but the days feel more relaxed in summer…
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 SUNDAY Bone-in pork chops from Five Mary’s Farm pan-fried in the cast iron skillet and finished in the oven. I generously sprinkle them with kosher salt and sear over high heat in a tablespoon or two of avocado oil. Follow this technique for chops that don’t dry out, and you can always…
