cheesy messy ooey gooey kind of ugly but you can’t stop looking at it food.

YAAAASSSS.

I choose you.

Also: a pizza celebration because Remy was back to school yesterday and I think we have finally kicked Influenza A out of our lives for good. #FingersCrossed.

So I think we may safely be out of the flu zone. I say this with a lot of trepidation because, FAMOUS LAST WORDS. Remy’s at least eating some food. Mostly graham crackers, strawberries, and bananas, which is a vast improvement from yesterday when she wouldn’t even finish a homemade mint chocolate chip cookie that I gave her.

I’m working nights again for the foreseeable future (exactly 16 days, not that I’m counting), which is a total buzzkill and has me craving all sorts of unhealthiness (hence the mint chocolate chip cookie making mentioned above). This week’s meal plan is reigning me in with meals that are nutritious, yet totally craveable. Hopefully you’ll find some inspiration here as well!

Happy eating!

There’s nothing quite like having your child catch the flu to throw a wrench in your best-laid blog plans.

I’ve honestly been paranoid about one of us catching it all season, especially after seeing so many flu disasters in the hospital. I realize I end up seeing the worst of the worst cases, but it is so bad this year!!

I’m working the weekend again, which means no cooking for me, but hopefully you guys will have time to do some meal planning and eat something fun!! There’s so much comfort food on this week’s plan in the form of one of my favorite Indian dishes, a fun twist on shepherd’s pie, TACOS, chowder, and a super cozy soup.

Hope you enjoy it!!

Peanut rice noodle bowls dressed in a spicy curried peanut sauce are beautiful to look at and delicious to eat! They are filled with healthy ingredients like quick-pickled carrots, edamame, and red cabbage.
Spicy Peanut Rice Noodle Bowls with Curried Peanut Sauce
Consider this my feeble attempt at trying to capitalize on (or manipulate) the constant toddler requests for “PEANUT BUTTER ON BREAD” at dinner time when whatever I’ve made doesn’t quite whet her palate.

Never mind that pasta and bread, though both beloved members of the carb family, are not identical enough to fool my very very very perceptive daughter’s eyes/taste buds.

But a worthy try nonetheless!! Maybe you’ll have more success?

A decadent triple layer dark chocolate cake filled with a light whipped peanut butter frosting.
Decadent Triple Layer Dark Chocolate Cake with Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting

Hands down, the most shocking thing of 2017 to me (and, let’s be honest…there is a lot to be shocked about in these times we live in) is that I never shared this cake with you.

I know.

I. KNOW. 

Better rectify that ASAP before the food blogger police come calling.

(Anyway, you guys weren’t serious about those healthy new year’s resolutions, were you??)
