Sorry I’m late! I was in no state to post anything yesterday. Even with a four hour sleep break, that 27 hour call was draaiiinnniinngg. One down. Six(-ish?) to go.
Anyway, here’s our meal plan for the week! We’ve got:
Happy eating!
A pistachio roulade filled with raspberries and white chocolate whipped cream.
Fact: I would rather make 10 million roulades than start my month in the ICU today.
Not sure if that’s a testament to how intense my disdain is for the ICU (27 hour shifts?!?!?! WHYYYYYYYYYY.) or how easy to make this roulade is. Maybe both.
Okay, definitely both.
A toss-up between a quiche and a savory tart, this cheddar, spinach, and caramelized onion tart is perfect for brunch, lunch, dinner, or whatever meal you care to serve it for! Serve alongside a light salad or a bed of roasted vegetables to make it a complete meal.
So, I learned recently that breakfast is actually not the most important meal of the day.
Outwardly, I was flabbergasted! Appalled! ENRAGED. All appropriate responses to having been lied to for my entire life.
But inwardly I was kind of doing cartwheels because: brunch – it’s been you all along.
We had a rough night of sleep last night (and by “we” I clearly mean myself and Remy since husbands don’t ever seem to hear baby cries) and I’m not sure I can make sense, so let’s get down to the nitty gritty – meal planning!
Here’s what we’ve got on this week’s meal plan:
Happy eating!
Roasted butternut squash or pumpkin wedges come together with black-eyed peas and coconut milk to make this luxurious restaurant-quality curry.
Last week when I was alone potty training an almost-threenager-going-on-fifteen for DAAAYYYZZZ ON END, I demanded a one hour break during which I headed straight to my version of mecca:
a spice store.
Yes, my husband is still making fun of me for going grocery shopping during my “ME” time. But guuuuuyyyyssss, it wasn’t just any spice store. IT WAS KALUSTYAN’S.
Have you been there? Did you want to move in?????
I did.
Pretty much the brownie-est cookies you’ll ever meet! These chocolate truffle cookies contain three types of chocolate and are utterly decadent.
Maybe you’ve noticed, but I don’t take to diets well.
I’m more in the camp of changing your lifestyle rather than crash coursing into some celery cleanse that lasts three days before you inhale all the complex carbs in sight.
For me right now that means exercising daily, making better food choices, and having more dance parties in my living room. It also means a weekly “let all hell break loose day” that involves eating dessert and not counting a single calorie. Because a lifestyle that doesn’t involve weekly cookies is a lifestyle that is just not worth living.
That there is my truth.
