The Momofuku Milk Bar carrot layer cake is absolutely stunning – filled with layers of rich carrot cake, graham cracker frosting, liquid cheesecake, and buttery milk crumb, there is truly a culinary adventure packed into every bite.
If you’re in the market for a carrot cake recipe that will
(a) take up your entire weekend
(b) have you use literally every mixing bowl in your arsenal
and/or (c) BLOW YOUR TASTE BUDS OFF WITH ITS SHEER AWESOMENESS.
Yes, this is it.
Well, that was quite a week. And I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty glad it’s behind us. If I never hear the words “throw” and “up” in the same sentence together again, it will be too soon.
The.Boy, Remy, and I are still getting back to our normal eating. It’s a process. But, today is my birthday, which means we’ll at least be branching out and eating CAKE. (Well, Remy will be eating blueberries because I’m kind of a super strict mom when it comes to sugar.) Plus hopefully getting back on track with my recipe plans for the next few weeks. I’m sorry about the relative silence this week, but it was necessary while my stomach tried to rebuild it’s relationship with things other than toast and rice cakes.
This week’s meal plan has us off to a great start! With a hearty spaghetti squash casserole, fun fajita-flavored gnocchi, Mexican chopped salad, a super good-for-you slow cooker quinoa soup, and pappardelle with a creamy you-won’t-believe-its-cauliflower-based sauce. Happy eating!
Fall-apart peppers and onions with a touch of jalapeno spice are simmered in beer and then topped with eggs and cheese before baking to runny yolk perfection.
So the.boy and I totally missed the part of the Parents Handbook that details what to do when both you and your spouse are projectile vomiting simultaneously AND your child is sleeping on your bed because she herself was vomiting a mere four hours earlier AND neither of you are in the bathroom or have any kind of vomit-catching device sitting next to you AND you can’t just leave your 9 month old in your bed by herself.
Yep. It’s a total parenting predicament doozy.
Also known as a no-win situation in which someone is going to vomit all over the floor.
I mean, statistically speaking there are just no other options.
You know what’s not conducive to getting a meal plan post up on time?
FOOD POISONING.
I’ll spare you all the gory details, but suffice it to say things have not been pretty around here. Thankfully, I’m turning a corner, at least enough to be able to share this week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan with you all! It’s full of good stuff – a hearty mushroom bourguignon, an enchilada casserole, a crazy awesome veg cobb salad, my Indian food favorite aloo gobi, and a super tasty curry soup. Happy eating!
A hearty white bean soup with pasta served with a drizzle of rosemary oil and shavings of parmesan cheese on top.
Can I convince you to join me in a weekend soup project?
Throw away your take-out menus because this one-pot baked paneer with chickpeas and spinach is a mash-up of two of the best Indian dishes – saag paneer and chana saag!
I’m really committed to the concept of a birthday MONTH this year.
In case you couldn’t tell by the fact that February food so far has consisted entirely of my mac and cheese and lemony dessert loving gluttony.
And so far I’ve only really skimmed the surface of my deepest darkest (butteriest) birthday food wishes!
