One Pot Miso Noodle Soup

Oh, don’t mind me.

Just reviving my body back to life after experiencing the SHOCK of an eighteen degree walk to school this morning following a week of what can basically be described as swimsuit weather (aka 55+ degrees).

A bowl of miso noodle soup is just the thing to defrost the blood in our veins and fill us up with soul warming, nourishing comfort.

What To Cook This Week - Week 7

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!

Dark Chocolate Ganache Bundt Cake

Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate!

If you want to know the key to my daughter’s heart it is basically that. The kid has been refusing all desserts that don’t involve one of the above ingredients and it is almost making me lose my mind.

I say almost because, YES I am a vanilla and lemon and fruit and caramel dessert lover, but I will also not say no to a chocolate dessert. I’m not a monster.

Cheesy Pesto Baked Gnocchi with Butternut Squash and Kale

If you love melty cheese and gnocchi pillows smothered in creamy pesto then you have come to the right place!

Add in a bunch of seasonal veggies and the fact that this is made entirely in ONE PAN and you basically have my dream of a weeknight meal. There are crispy parmesan breadcrumbs too for texture and all around excellence. Just so darn good and everything I love in a pasta dish.

What To Cook This Week - Week 6

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!

Cardamom Cinnamon Rolls with Buttermilk Glaze

 A cold winter weekend without cinnamon rolls is like, well, a really not ideal life situation.

Add a foot of snow into the mix?

You are looking at a borderline CATASTROPHE.
