Have you picked up a copy of Nothing Fancy yet???

It’s basically the cookbook that’s breaking the internet at the moment, in no small part due to this salmon, which is UN.REAL.

I can’t even sing it’s praises enough!!! But I’ll try. Oh yes, I’ll try.

A one-pan pasta dish that is filled with winter squash, kale, capers, and lentils. It has a hint of spice and is delicious with a dusting of parmesan cheese on top.

Having a real case of the Mondays here.

Yesterday we were out of the house from 10AM until 6PM (and this was after I did a 6 mile run, because DID I MENTION I’M RUNNING A HALF MARATHON IN MARCH) so not only was I exhausted but also, all of my weekend to-dos got thrown to the wayside in exchange for good old-fashioned fun.

I don’t regret a thing, but also I only meal-prepped for like a quarter of the week so I need something quick/easy/healthy to take care of the rest of it.

Hey friends, Happy Saturday!!!!

We were geared up for an awesome weekend filled with Remy’s first ballet recital, lots of Christmas activities, and *maybe* even a visit to Santa but then the kid was up coughing ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

So I was also up. ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

Did you know that there are basically no quick fixes for kid coughs when they’re under 6 years old?? We did lots of spoonfuls of honey. steam-breathing in the bathroom, and finally Vicks VapoRub is what did the trick and got her to sleep. On me, of course, so guess who’ll be hacking up a lung in a few days????

She’s looking a lot better today in terms of cough frequency, so we’ll see what we actually end up doing.

Hope you’re all having a healthier time of it!! Here’s what we have for you on this week’s meal plan:

  • EASY minestrone soup – so hearty and fabulous
  • roasted potato, mushroom, and lentil kale salad – this is definitely a main meal kind of salad!
  • creamy vegan mushroom soup – stick to your ribs good
  • Indian vegetarian paneer and bean chili – a totally new and spiced up take on chili
  • crispy tofu steaks – whoa, need this

Happy eating!

Spiced Praline Meringues

DON’T BE ALARMED, but there are basically only 22 days until Christmas and I have bough exactly zero presents for anyone.

Well, Mike and I bought ourselves a vacuum because that’s the kind of exciting thing you do for yourself when you’re an adult. (Seriously though, it’s cordless and I am SO EXCITED about it. Maybe I’ll actually not hate vacuuming now??)

But other than that, we’re pretty much SOL.

Please tell me you’re in a better place with your Christmas shopping than we are.
