veggie meal plan – december 1, 2014
I imagine that I will be a bit aflutter with all the work today (10 day breaks will do that to you), but am determined to make it through what is left of the year in calm and happy spirits. Thou shalt not get overwhelmed. Our meals this week will echo that mantra with quick […]

It is Thanksgiving week and we are breaking up our veggie routine by giving a new local CSA program a whirl. I love the flexibility that picking up my CSA at Johnson’s Backyard Garden at the market offers, but I figured it was time to give someone else a shot. That someone else is Farmhouse […]
Moreveggie meal plan – november 17, 2014
Greetings from an unusually cold Austin! I had grand plans to get my week of meals kickstarted over the weekend, but something had me feeling icky. There were some germs in the vicinity so it was collectively decided that I should not be in charge of any food prep with potentially germ-ridden hands. Feeling way better now, […]
Moreno meal plan
Stating the obvious here. The freezer and the vast offerings of Austin’s culinary establishments have rescued us this week, but I just got done with a much-overdue grocery trip. We are eating at home tonight!
MoreGo Vote!
There is way too much on the ballot this year to stay home! Austinites, go claim your stake in our local, state, and federal representation. It’ll be too late tomorrow and way too late in a year when all the effects of this representation start to take shape. Note sure what you’re voting for? There are […]
Moreveggie meal plan – november 3
The weekend was filled with costumes, birthday cake (his) and much cooler weather, so yeah… it was a good one. This week’s vegetarian meal plan includes some of the best that our fall growing seasons has to offer – kale, spinach, peppers (they won’t go away!), cilantro, parsley, onions, spaghetti squash, salad greens, green beans, and […]

It’s Halloween week which also means that it’s the week before his birthday so we are running in a few different directions. Quick list of the quick meals that I have in mind for the week.

veggie meal plan – october 13, 2014
We had a busier weekend than expected and the cooler weather triggered all sorts of knitting urges that, unfortunately, were tended to in place of my weekday meal prep. It is going to make for a slightly busier Monday night, but I still think that we can pull off a solid week of homemade meals. […]
Moregrocery shopping with instacart
The following post was put together with the support of Whole Foods. Cooking an average of 15-20 meals a week depletes the cupboards pretty darned fast, so grocery-shopping is a non-negotiable part of my (and every home cook’s) life. My bi-weekly CSA share, farmers’ market shopping, and food swapping has shortened my grocery store lists […]

Picked up my CSA stash yesterday and the kitchen now has Fall oozing out of every nook and cranny. We have greens! I’ll be making my usual batches of beans, roasted veggies, and sauces to help ease dinner and lunch prep during the week later today. Also have my eye on these new(ish) things for […]

Thanks for letting me take a week off! We had some lovely family downtime and I feel re-energized after a library visit and some much-needed kneading time in the kitchen. I’m back with a quick list of what I have planned for the week. CSA pickup is on Saturday so we are working with the […]
Moretiny moments
Sometimes, this is all it takes to send my memory wandering back to my mom’s kitchen. Her flour was stored in the smallest of the Tuppeware set and was only brought out on occasional Sundays when we needed to bread our milanesas. Laundry, football, chores, and working together in the kitchen are what the muddy […]
Moreno meal plan this week
I have lots of ideas for meals, a full fridge, and some mental space to play in the kitchen so this is exactly what I am going to embrace this week. No meal plan. Today, I decided to stuff some pasta shells mid-day for a quick meal come dinner time. What are you eating tonight?
