What To Cook This Week - 10-2-21

I’m finally getting in the fall spirit! The temperatures here have dropped to the 60s and we have about 20 lb of apples to use up after going apple picking this past weekend. Apple pie-town, here we come! I’m ready for all the cozy food and I hope you are too.

Here’s what we’re cooking:

  • Starting off the week with a super creamy, super comforting creamed spinach gnocchi bake – so perfect for Sunday Supper.
  • Next up – a roasted butternut squash and sweet corn salad that can serve as a side salad but is also hearty enough for a main meal.
  • On Tuesday we’re making jalapeno popper deep dish pizza (with some kale snuck in for good measure).
  • A cozy Persian butternut squash and sweet potato soup is on the docket for Wednesday. This is the epitome of fall eating! 
  • Finally, we’re ending the week with a mustardy farro and roasted root vegetable salad. Full of great flavors and it makes for tasty lunch leftovers.
  • For dessert, we’re making glazed apple slices to use up some of our apple haul!

Happy eating!

Pretty immediately after school started I realized that my usual dinner strategy of casually spending an hour plus cooking was not going to cut it.

Not only was I exhausted from having to make two round trip walks back and forth to school each day (talk about the easiest way to get 10K steps in EVER), but so was Remy.

She was basically coming home ravenous (and this is despite eating a snack on the walk home), so my options were either to let her fill up on snacks while dinner cooks or just pivot to easier, low-effort dinner recipes that I can cook in the time it takes her to take a bath.

No brainer – I chose the latter. And this is how these AMAZING sweet potato and chickpea tacos were born.

It’s time.

Pull those green tomato stragglers off their vines (at this point, they’re probably not going to have time to ripen anyway) and let’s turn them into fried green tomato pie!

What To Cook This Week 9-25-21

Fall is in the air! I haven’t broken out any cans of pumpkin yet, but I have noticed sweet potatoes, squash, and overall heartier meals weaseling their way into my heart and meal plans. I hope you’re on board because we have some tasty meals this week!

Here’s what we’re cooking:

  • Starting off the week with a super easy vegetarian antipasto pasta salad. This is the ultimate pantry meal and I am obsessed with all of its briny flavors.
  • Next up – not-fried eggplant parmesan AKA the ultimate comfort food. I will never eat eggplant parm any other way again.
  • On Tuesday we’re making sweet potato and black bean tacos for Taco Tuesday!
  • A cozy vegetarian lentil minestrone is here to get us through Wednesday’s mid-week slump. This tastes like a warm hug and I am here for it.
  • Finally, we’re ending the week with sticky sweet Thai chili tofu stir fry. Simple, with big flavors.
  • For dessert, we’re making THE BEST brownies. Love these.

Happy eating!
