Anyone else just feel like a huge weight has been lifted now that it’s FEBRUARY. There’s something about January that feels unending but Feb is a nice, neat 28 days, PLUS it’s my birthday month, PLUS it’s basically the gateway to spring.
Of course, it also means I’m one month closer to having to push a baby out of my body. So there’s that.
We are in full on baby mode over here and by that I mean we finally purchased some basics like diapers and bottles and a car seat. Still in denial that this is even happening, but time appears to be marching on regardless. It has a tendency to do that.
Here’s what we’re cooking this week!
- Starting off the week with pasta with blistered green peppers. This is SUCH a deceptively simple dish but is packed with veggies and flavor.
- Next up – crispy tofu bowls with honey-ginger vinaigrette. The epitome of feel good food and great for easy lunches throughout the week.
- On Tuesday we’re making my sheet pan roasted vegetable fajita lettuce wraps! I am normally not a fan of lettuce wraps but these are insanely good. Trust.
- One-pot baked paneer with chickpeas and spinach is getting us through the mid-week slump. Comfort in a pot!
- Finally, we’re closing out the week with spanakopita baked ziti. I’m into it.
- For dessert we’re making a banana bread cake roll!
Happy eating!
