The weekly menu

Meatless Monday for the second week in a row.  I’m gonna try to see if I can remember to keep the MM trend going.  My brain sometimes forgets what days are what, but since I’m trying to do more plant based dinners, I may as well go with the theme of alliteration. Monday was the last day of “school” for me and P.  🙁  Since we get home late(r) after school, I usually try to have it ready to go before we leave.  Make ahead recipes are invaluable when you are busy and it seems like… Read more >

My mom’s birthday weekend

This weekend was a blast, and it’s not just because I was at my parents’ house with tons of support, but also because my dad threw my mom a big party for her 60th birthday and I got to see so many family members who I haven’t seen in way too long. It was so awesome.  Have I mentioned how much I love my family?

The weekly menu

I love short weeks!  This one flew by not only because Monday was a holiday but also because I am leaving (have left) to go to stay with my parents for the end of the week and weekend.  Low fuss cooking and leftovers were the name of the game. Backing up to Saturday (of the Memorial weekend) we had turkey burgers with a cauliflower salad. His was on sourdough, mine was on Udi’s GF bread.  His had gouda, mine had Daiya.  Both had lots of BBQ sauce and romaine. But the star of the show (for me) was the… Read more >
