Give me a dessert with almond paste or almond flour or even just almond extract and I am running to eat it.

(Much more like slow waddling in my current 8.5 month beached whale state, but you know what I mean.)

There is just something about almond in baked goods that I can’t get enough of. That sweet nuttiness is EVERYTHING.

What To Cook This Week - Week 9

Helllooooooo! I took a little break from blogging and social media this week. Remy was off from school and I wanted to devote as much attention to her as possible. Let’s get cooking!

  • Starting off the week with my favorite creamy mascarpone tortellini. I honestly make some version of this dish a few times a month and it never disappoints.
  • Next up – roasted cauliflower, sage, and almond risotto. So creamy and comforting.
  • On Tuesday we’re making vegetarian black bean and cheese ancho-ladas!
  • Paneer butter masala is on the menu for Wednesday and it is a treat. Another meal I make all the time – it’s my husband’s favorite.
  • Finally, we’re closing out the week with a simple Mexican fiesta salad. Couldn’t be easier and bursting with fresh ingredients.
  • For dessert we’re making caramel canvas blondies. YES.

Happy eating!

Roasted Mexican Potato Hash with Fried Eggs and Chipotle Crema

I’ve been thinking back to the days and weeks after having my daughter (you know, to mentally prepare for the shock to my system that’s coming in 8-ish weeks) and I remember us eating a lot of eggs.

Eggs for breakfast, eggs for lunch, and definitely eggs for dinner. Scrambled egg tacos with some greens mixed in were my specialty, mostly because they took exactly five minutes and one hand to make.

A real boon when you have a baby that never wants to be put down.

What To Cook This Week - Week 8

Some of the most delish dinners coming up this week! Here’s what we’re cooking:

  • Starting off the week with rigatoni in a spiced tomato sauce. THIS SAUCE. It is full of unexpected flavors and hits in all the best ways.
  • Next up – Mexican halloumi and black bean bowls. Could eat these every day.
  • On Tuesday we’re making crispy quinoa and power greens salads! They’re filled with sweet potatoes, nuts for crunch, and a really good meyer lemon dressing.
  • Winter squash and radicchio is on the menu for Wednesday! Feels a little fancy but maybe we need that by the middle of the week.
  • Finally, we’re closing out the week with a white bean and pasta soup with rosemary oil. Tastes like comfort.
  • For dessert we’re making peanut butter crunch brownies! Yum.

Happy eating!
