Happy holiday weekend! Whether you’re celebrating Easter or Passover or just making the most of this spring weather, I hope it’s a good one.
Enjoy this week’s meal plan and happy eating!!
Breakfast sandwiches are going green this season with these spring vegetable egg bake breakfast sandwiches served on the lightest and fluffiest cream cheese biscuits.
No, YOU procrastinated figuring out your Easter brunch situation until the last minute.
Oh, good. It’s not just me.
We are actually celebrating on Saturday (ummmmm….tomorrow?!?!?) this year and I’m hosting, so probably not ideal that I haven’t figured this out yet. My mom called me yesterday to see what I was making and I’m preetttyyyy sure my answer was a grunt and an “IERNO”.
She did not take that well.
If you’ve ever had food from a halal street cart before, then you know how addictively delicious it can be. These halal street cart chickpeas are a vegetarian take on those flavors, served with turmeric rice, tahini yogurt “white” sauce and a harissa oil drizzle.

My Monday mornings smell like spiced meat on a makeshift griddle.
It’s a strange scent to take on at 6AM when you haven’t eaten animal protein in a decade, but it’s also warm and heady with cumin, coriander, and cardamom (so unlike all the other typical NYC morning smells, which are all entirely inappropriate for a food blog), and I’m almost never mad about it. It’s the smell of street carts getting ready for the day on my walk to work and it is downright delightful.
I’m getting a little taste of terrible twos over here these past few days and I DON’T LIKE IT. Yesterday there was a tantrum as we were leaving daycare because Remy wanted to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and my promises to read it as soon as we got home were not sufficient. So she screamed “caterpillar” down the hallway, out the daycare door, and for the entire walk home. Then when we got home, she totally forgot about wanting to read and wanted to play trains, but then she got mad at me because I couldn’t intuit which track she wanted me to put her trains on after she handed them to me. Part of it is funny because she gets mad over such ridiculous things, but it’s also maddening!
Please send all your tantrum tips my way.
And wine.
Homemade lofthouse style cookies that are soft and fluffy with a creamy vanilla frosting. Perfect to be consumed with a cup of tea, coffee, or a big glass of milk!
I am fully convinced spring may never be coming.
You should have seen the slush puddles I was forced to wade in yesterday!!!
So inappropriate.
Like, in January I could have handled this with all sorts of grace, but now I’m just cranky about it.
From the Power Plates cookbook by Gena Hamshaw, these vegetarian macro bowls are the perfect balance of beans, grains, and veggie. They are full of miso’s deliciously sweet-salty-savory flavor and are packed full of nutrients.
Apparently eating food in 2018 means getting down to the nitty gritty of what we’re putting in our bodies.
A lot of this can probably be done on intuition alone, but those of us who love mac and cheese a little too much most likely need a bit more direction.
(i.e. ME)
So. MACRO BOWLS.
