What a weekend! It’s like someone took all of February’s main events and jammed them into 48 hours AS IF OUR SOULS COULD HANDLE IT after the past two years. Honestly I’m not great at celebrating either the Superbowl OR Valentine’s Day but I did make a pretty awesome bundt cake for breakfast so I’m calling it good.
Here’s what we’re cooking this week!
- Starting off the week with my skillet roasted red pepper pasta bake. It has ALL of the comfort of baked ziti but faster and in one pan.
- Next up – black-eyed pea stew with green herb smash. Tastes so fresh and clean.
- On Tuesday we’re making white bean, artichoke, and pesto salad sandwich melts! Love everything about these.
- Crispy chickpeas and halloumi with greens and garlicky yogurt is on the menu for Wednesday and I’m all about it. One of my favorite meals ever.
- Finally, we’re closing out the week with a roasted chickpea vegetable taco salad. The chipotle ranch dressing for this is INSANE. You’re going to love it.
- For dessert we’re making a caramelized honey creme brulee! A little fancier than usual but perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Happy eating!

As an adult that has a degree of ADD, I have to choose one holiday or event and just go with that. I can’t do Superbowl and Valentine’s altogether. I just can’t.
I am here for the Halloumi dish! I love halloumi like I love feta and burrata. I’m pretty sure I could one of those 3 cheeses at each and every single meal and never tire of them!
