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!
