Still here, still on baby watch. I will officially be 37 weeks on Tuesday so the countdown is on! I’ve been having Braxton-Hicks like crazy, so we’ll see! They’re not actually indicative of anything but it’s fun to dream.
Let’s talk food! Here’s what we’re eating this week:
- Starting off the week with a perfect-for-spring pappardelle with asparagus, peas, saffron.
- Next up – vegetarian antipasto salad. This is great for meal prep and you can eat the leftovers for lunches all week long!
- On Tuesday we’re making loaded vegetarian tortilla soup – a forever favorite.
- Sticky sweet Thai chili tofu stir fry is on the menu for Wednesday – literally the definition of an easy weeknight meal.
- Finally, we’re closing out the week with za’atar crusted halloumi and sumac veggie bowls!
- For dessert we’re making Kentucky bourbon bundt cake. I can’t tell you how much I love this cake…it’s the ultimate.
Happy eating!

I need to make that za’atar halloumi with veggies over Israeli couscous – isn’t that couscous fun to eat? That looks like a real tasty texture extravaganza!
