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….

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…

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…

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…

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.

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….

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,…

Happy Sunday, everyone! I need to make this fast, even though I want to tell you ALL THE THINGS about a busy weekend. So many senior activities! Newsflash: grad parties start in January in Texas as well as “senior style shows” that make my senior cringe but that are very sweet. Check Instagram stories for…

Easy Family Dinners Are What We Need! Does this feel like the longest month there ever was? It sure does. I’m going to get us through our last week of January with an easy (and healthy) meal plan! I had my first “Friday at the Farm” class last week and it pretty much made my…

An Easy Weeknight Meal Plan Hi friends! Who else is excited it’s a long weekend? It’s always a shock to the system getting back in gear after a long break, and the last two weeks have felt especially hectic. I seem to have gotten really excited about cooking classes resuming and booked a ton of…
