It’s Saturday!!! One week and two days before our move!!

Many inquiring minds are probably wondering if I’ve started packing.

What I tell my husband: Errrmmmm sort of obviously because what kind of CRAZY person would not have started packing yet?!

Truth: Heck no not at all even a little bit.

In my defense, we decided to order those rentable reusable boxes that are all the moving rage these days and they are coming this afternoon. At which point the packing can officially commence!!

Maybe. If I feel up to it. (Probably not.)

Actually, I feel like a real priority over the weekend and at the beginning of the week should be COOKING and stocking the fridge with dinners so that I can actually pack all of my cooking stuff later in the week and not, like, the night before at 2AM. Lest we starve in this city full of infinite takeout options. Obvs.

ANWAYS. We’ll see how that shakes out.

Regardless, YOU should get lots of cooking done this weekend! Because it is prime cooking time, folks. Not so hot that you feel ill when considering turning your oven on and just warm enough that all the best produce is coming into season. We’ve got lots of great inspiration in our meal plan this week, ranging from crispy black bean and sweet potato tacos, some mega gorgeous Mason jar salads, a veggie-full Thai peanut sauced stir fry, pretty-in-pink beet patties with vegan tzatziki, and a super seasonal blueberry, nectarine and burrata salad.

Happy eating!!

Blueberry, Nectarine, and Burrata Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette from Eats Well With Others
