WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS DINNERS Sure, your “to do” list may be getting shorter (or maybe it’s not). Either way, this is a week full of activity. Kids are home from school, gifts need to be wrapped, stocking stuffers squared away. I’m linking a few of my favorite “brainless” weeknight dinners without much chopping or prep….

It’s our last week of school before the winter break, thank goodness! Cards need to be mailed, packages wrapped and shipped and the list needs to be checked twice. With a packed schedule this week, I want to make sure our dinners are as easy as possible. We will rely on pantry staples and a…

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…

Thanksgiving is here! As much as I tell my cooking class students to be organized and to prep ahead of time, I’m not feeling very together. We are enjoying a brief holiday visit to New York with my two daughters and my sister and her two girls. We are eating, walking, shopping and generally just…

Simple Roasted Salmon

SUNDAY Marcella Hazan’s bolognese is a masterpiece of comfort food. Serve it over riced cauliflower, spaghetti squash or good old-fashioned pasta. Marcella may be rolling in her grave at the suggestion of serving this over anything but good-quality pasta, but do what you will. MONDAY Simple roasted salmon, chermoula, broccoli sautéd with red pepper flakes…

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…

Tamari-Honey Chicken Drumsticks

August 16, 2017 By msmart 4 Comments

Last spring, we were navigating some food issues and intolerances and in need of simple family meals free of gluten, dairy, soy and a whole host of other ingredients. It was a challenge to say the least, but there were a few good new recipes that came out of it. Tamari-honey chicken drumsticks were one…

Arugula, Basil and Avocado Pesto

May 17, 2017 By msmart 4 Comments

Pesto

Pesto, Reinvented We’ve evolved a bit this year. Now that our dinners are centered around a gluten-free and dairy-free main dish, we’ve started changing up some of our favorite recipes so they’ll work for our family. This arugula, basil and avocado pesto is one of the happy outcomes of months of recipe testing and tweaking. Arugula was added to…
