Yesterday I did something SO crazy, a total bucket list item.

I MADE CROISSANTS!!!! Like, by hand. From scratch. 

Were they perfect???? Uhhhh no. They need a lot of work. But they were also nowhere near as hard as I thought and even though they’re all kind of lopsided and a little burnt on the bottom, they are still super buttery and delicious and I will be eating them for breakfast all weekend. Not mad about that. 

Other weekend plans? For us, some early morning playground-ing before the masses arrive, a lot of time outside, I may make macarons, the usual.

Let’s talk DINNER, which is a daily problem. This week’s meal plan is one of my favorites in a while. Here’s what we’re cooking!

  • kale saag paneer – love paneer ALL THE WAYS
  • mediterranean chickpea bowls – these make my heart happy
  • loaded vegetarian tortilla soup – such rich flavor and you can top it with everything!
  • lemon chickpea rice soup – slurp
  • honey garlic chickpeas and vegetables – that sauce sounds SO good
  • no bake peanut butter chocolate bars for dessert!

Happy eating!
