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 […]
MoreI’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 […]
MoreI 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 […]
MoreI ended up with a little more variety than originally expected, but we seem to have eaten through way more of our veggies last week than I planned. I picked up a few extra things – cauliflower and an acorn squash from the grocery store to help. I am also trying a completely new (to […]
MoreSchool, work, and the routines that come with it all are long overdue. Mornings may be a little rough after weeks of serving breakfast near-10am, but the rest of it should fall into place. Hope you have an easy week back and that you find a little seasonal inspiration for your meatless meals in my […]
MoreIt 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 […]
MoreGreetings 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, […]
MoreThe 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 […]
MoreIt’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.
MoreWe 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. […]
MorePicked 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 […]
MoreThanks 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 […]
MoreWe did the unthinkable over the weekend. We had to throw out produce. A cucumber, a couple of tiny eggplants, some peppers, and those darned bits of onion that I can never seem to find when I need them went from the crisper drawer to the garbage. There may have even been a zucchini in there. […]
MoreSeptember’s first meal plan with ideas for quick vegetarian dinners that can come together on even the busiest week of the year.
MoreWe will be playing along with all of you that head back to school from home this week. Getting energizing breakfasts (and coffee) out to the table in the early morn this first week of practice is always a little tough, but this is why we practice. Also braving the new world of having the […]
MoreAn end of summer meal plan that aims to beat the bean and taco burnout that is currently playing out in our busy vegetarian household.
MoreWe are officially swimming in figs. Needless to say that this week’s meal plan will feature lots of ’em. I ran out of space in the fridge on Wednesday last week so I only have 4 meals planned. Getting our cooking/leftover rhythm figured out is top of mind this week as is stocking the freezer […]
