veggie meal plan – march 2, 2015
The sick has got the energy in the house on mute. Naps, audiobooks, podcasts, music, and a fair share of video streaming are going in everyone’s respective corners. We seem to have survived the weekend, but there is much to catch up on and I suspect the 11yo has at least a couple of more […]

Trying my best to focus on how awesome and lovely the sun feels right now. Exorcising the cold and grey that I know is still ahead from my brain. Almost done with winter…

veggie meal plan – february 22, 2015
The temperature is plummeting as I type this post and we are just a *wee bit* miffed about it. 30º may not seem like a big deal in February too most, but this is Central Texas and it was in the 70s just a couple of days ago. Stomps feet. Will be warming the house […]

I’m still happily packing them for her every morning. You can take a peek at what she’s currently toting on Instagram (@thereal_aneelee).
Moreveggie meal plan – february 15, 2015
I’ve spent every spare moment this weekend in the kitchen. Washing greens, shredding cabbage, roasting veggies, and getting the fridge armed with basics (grains, legumes, dip, salad dressings, etc.) makes it a kazillion times easier to reach for something reasonably healthy when the hunger pangs strike. My sweet tooth this week will be satiated with […]
Moremountain of veggies
Today’s CSA stash is glorious – kale, spinach, mixed salad greens, collards, carrots, turnips, parsnips, sweet potatoes, radishes, beets, broccoli, celery root, brussel sprouts, and green onions.
Moremistakes
Things in the kitchen aren’t always pretty. Mistakes happen. In the grand scheme of things a pan of burnt granola is not the end of the world. Is it food waste? OMG, yes! Was it preventable? OMG, yes! Am I going to make another batch of granola? Ummm, yeah. Kicking myself for the pricey pistachios […]

veggie meal plan – february 8, 2015
I got my weekday meal prep off to a late start today, so I am pulling my meal plan together with all sorts of stuff simmering and baking and cooling in the background. A visit to the doctor this past week has me thinking that it may be time to shake our food routine up, so we can […]
Morehappy friday
My day got off to a great start and I am looking forward to the sun and warmth that has been tentatively promised by the weathermen. I’ll spend a decent amount of time in the kitchen this weekend, so be sure to follow along on Instagram (@thereal_aneelee) and Twitter (@aneelee) if you want a sneak […]
Moreolives next
Rejoice! The 11yo likes pickles again —garlicky, fermented pickles, even! Olives in meals may not be as far off as originally believed.

I’ve had a hard time seeing through my mountain of kale and sweet potatoes. My mini (veggie) panic almost made me forget about the rest of this week’s beautiful stash – brussel sprouts, beets, spinach, cilantro, carrots, scallions, lettuce, parsnips, cabbage and radish. Looking forward to warming the kitchen with: Meals Spinach, Red Pepper & […]
Moresweet potatoes and kale
I am wading through my stash of sweet potatoes and trying to come up with something exciting and new to do with my kale. Meal plan coming soon.

Crazy busy Friday to cap off a crazy busy week. Much rest and relaxation in order this weekend. Happy cooking!

wednesdays = work days
I’ve been following the 11yo’s lead the past few weeks – clearing Wednesday of distractions so that I can crank through my day unfettered. No meetings. No calls scheduled. Just me and my list.
Morebook break – the particular sadness of lemon cake
My reading material doesn’t always explicitly explore food, so that part of my world doesn’t usually cross over into the land of blog. Aimee Bender’s The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake was a nice surprise – food, family, and relationships. I’m not often surprised by books, but at some point I forewent sleep all together to finish. Didn’t skip through […]
Moreveggie meal plan – 1/26/15
I had a full day of meal prep yesterday, so I am stoked (and stocked) for the week. Also managed to have quite a bit of fun on Instagram yesterday in the middle of it all. Seemed like lots of folks were cooking and getting ready for the week so I was able to find […]
