These bakery-style almond poppy seed muffins taste exactly like you just picked them up from the Costco bakery and are super easy to make!
I had a Most Shocking Moment of my life this past week when I realized that my favorite favorite favorite muffins from childhood, the lemon poppy seed muffins from Costco, are not actually lemon poppy seed muffins at all.
(!!!)
I’m keeping it short and sweet today because Remy is cutting her first (and possibly second, third, and fourth) tooth (all at the same time! It’s like a pain party in there!), which is making her the definition of a hot mess and daddy can only entertain her for a very limited period of time before she realizes that her favorite food/comfort source (i.e. me) has left the room.
And how are all of YOU doing?
Hopefully you’re hungry, because this week’s meal plan is FILLED – a hearty non-chicken noodle soup, a green salad not to be reckoned with, one of my favorite pastas ever ever, a super spiced curry, and a GORGEOUS Buddha bowl. Happy eating!
Preparing fresh wholesome food for your family doesn’t have to be hard! This 6 ingredient one pot tortellini primavera soup is filled with vegetables and so easy to prepare – it’s a dish the whole family will love.
We’re talking big bowls of back-to-your-roots, just plain good wholesome food today.
And we’re only dirtying one pot as we do it.
Yes, we’re ALL shocked.
Mostly my husband who stood over the sink in disbelief, eyes scanning the rest of the kitchen trying to figure out where the rest of the dirty pots and pans must be hiding because he knows I cook like a tornado passing through.
Nope. Not this time.
These salted caramel pudding parfaits are incredibly rich and perfect for a special occasion dessert. You won’t be able to resist the alternating layers of salted caramel and salted caramel pudding!
Disclaimer: all of my new year’s resolutions intentions were slaughtered in the making of this post.
Like, I watched them spiral down the drain…..
…and I didn’t even care!
I might have even kind of smiled while I did it. Waved goodbye. Cackled.
And then walked away smugly with a parfait and a spoon in each hand – double fisting as nature intended.
Everyone’s favorite bagel toppings get turned into some seriously awesome smoked salmon and egg breakfast quesadillas that are simultaneously cheesy and healthy thanks to some mixed greens that scrambled in with the eggs. Served alongside everything bagel fries they are truly the perfect way to wake up!
Fine, I admit it.
I EAT FISH.
Mostly salmon. Mostly sushi. Sometimes smoked salmon because I’m a New Yorker and I have a pulse and it’s just good.
There. I said it.
Fish. Is. Just. Dang. Good.
(Mostly salmon.)
Can the vegetarian police just come and arrest me now and get it over with?
You guys, I am a free woman!!! I had my last residency interview yesterday and it is SO LIBERATING.
Cue mega dance party.
I might just have to celebrate with something really decadent this weekend (there are salted caramel pudding parfaits on my mind…), BUT DO NOT FEAR. There are going to be so many vegetables involved as well. Pinky swear.
I’m sure you’ve got vegetables (and hopefully something sweet!) on your mind as well, so get excited for this week’s meal plan, which features the most beautiful roasted winter veggie bowls I’ve ever seen, a LOADED lentil salad, crazy awesome veggie tacos, one of my most favorite soups ever with a crunchy chickpea topping, and chickpea salad sandwiches that are so perfect for healthy lunch leftovers.
Happy weekend!
