Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan – 2.16.19

1 Comment

Finally a weekend off! And a three-day weekend, at that. Can’t wait!

We have plans to see a lot of family, do a lot of playing, exercise, bake muffins, and basically do all the weekend things we’ve been missing out on for the past month while I’ve been on service. What about you??

Here’s what we’ve got on this week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan:

  • creamy turmeric chickpea skillet (health food FTW!)
  • roasted vegetable fajita lettuce wraps (that chipotle crema, tho)
  • winter squash, farro, and pomegranate salad with shallot vinaigrette (hi. yes please.)
  • 20 minute BBQ black bean tacos (!!!)
  • roasted vegetable forbidden rice bowls with carrot top pesto (eat the rainbow!)

Happy eating!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Anyone out there having a date night in tonight?? I guess we are…if you consider dining next to an (almost) threenager who thinks picking her nose and eating it (and announcing it to the table) with Dumbo on in the background to be a “date night”. Which….I guess I do? It’s all relative.

Martha Stewart’s Baked Macaroni and Cheese

There is nothing that screams love more than a big homemade bowl of carbs and melted cheese.

Mac and cheese is what I made on my first Valentine’s Day date with with the husband, and every year since! And I think it’s worked out?? I mean, we’re still married (happily), so……

Momofuku Milk Bar Birthday Cake

6 Comments

This Momofuku Milk Bar birthday cake is a birthday girl’s (or boy’s!) dream!! It is filled with alternating layers of funfetti cake, birthday cake frosting, and birthday cake crumb that are everything you wanted your childhood birthday cakes to be, but better.

Of course, starting the (lengthy and grueling and not for the faint of heart) process of choosing a birthday cake got me thinking about last year’s cake, which made me realize….I NEVER SHARED IT WITH YOU.

Yes, I’m ashamed.

Hopefully you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. (And if not, a slice of it may convince you otherwise.)

It’s February!

My birthday month aka the month where I spend 28 days straight making all of my favorite food and forcing it down my family’s (and your) throats. One could argue I should do that every month (and I kind of do), but….there’s just something extra special about it when you call it your birthday month.
