Fresh sweet corn polenta is topped with a rich tomato eggplant sauce in this perfect end of summer meal.
Sweet Corn Polenta with Eggplant Sauce

Yesterday was completely downcast and it took me until about halfway through the day to realize that it wasn’t because of clouds, but because of smoke.

Yes, the smoke from the wildfires on the west coast has made it all the way here to NYC. Unreal.

They say the air quality is fine (good, even!!) but I’m not so sure. Remy had a (mild) resurgence of her runny nose yesterday and my breathing felt a little funny. It’s either coincidence (or coronavirus), or the smoke. The fact that it actually felt better when I was wearing a mask leads me to believe it’s the latter.

So much has happened in the world since last week, who even knows where to begin!

I hope all of you on the west coast are safe from the fires and able to stay inside to avoid the poor air quality. My heart breaks for all of those affected. Hopefully they’re able to get the fires under control soon.

We’re still on the runny nose train, but thankfully Remy seems to be improving every day and the rest of us are fine. FINGERS CROSSED.

Let’s talk meal planning! This week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan is the perfect bridge from summer to fall. This is what we’ve got on the menu: fresh yellow tomato soup that looks like a summer night’s dream, Mexican kale salad, sticky orange tempeh, Cuban black beans and rice, palak paneer, an immunity boosting turmeric soup (hold on while I force feed this to my child), and peanut butter pretzel bars for those of us desperately in need of indulgence (<– IT ME).

Happy eating!

DAY FOUR.

So, yeah, I have about thirty more gray hairs but it’s going great.

A luscious salad of sweet caramelized roasted figs and onions with radicchio, goat cheese, and a pomegranate-balsamic vinaigrette.
Roasted Fig and Onion Salad with Radicchio and Goat Cheese

There are a few truths in life that are unshakeable, and the fact of the matter is that if there’s a fig salad in a cookbook…you know I’m counting down the days until fig season so that I can make it.

It’s just…part of the fundamental essence of ME.

So it was written, and so it shall be done.
