We had a great visit with my son for family weekend in Pittsburgh last weekend and he is home with us for his fall break.  So so special! It’s actually nice to be cooking family meals again.  In our new empty nest, Hubs and I seem to be pretty content with either soup or a stir-fry most nights. Just a friendly PSA, Thursday, October 27th is exactly 4 weeks from Thanksgiving!! I will have an updated Thanksgiving ebook available for purchase next week, so be on the lookout!

Happy Jewish New Year, to all of you who are celebrating. May it be a sweet year for all!  Time flies, my friends. We are in the last week of September and I have my sights set on fall holidays. I receive a lot of holiday-related questions, so I thought it was a good time to do a webinar!  I am hosting a FREE webinar on entertaining tips this Wednesday at 5:00 pm PT. It will run about an hour and you do not have to attend live, BUT I will be answering questions during the webinar. Registrants will have 48 hours to watch the recording if you cannot attend live.  I am trying to help you put the “entertain” in entertaining!

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

I haven’t done a webinar since the early days of the lockdown, so I am long overdue for another one!  I have been getting more and more questions about entertaining (something I love to do!) and with some of the grand slam holidays approaching, I thought a session could help you jump start the season with confidence and a plan.  If you are already a pro and have nothing to learn, feel free to sit this one out!  For those of you who have questions or just need a little support, sign up for my free entertaining webinar here. The date is September 28th at 5:00 pm PST and it will be recorded if you can’t watch live.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Newsletter subscribers, I’m hosting an in-person meet and greet on Saturday 9/17 at 9:00 am in Manhattan Beach. RSVP for the address!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: 

 

Meatless Monday: Baked potato night with a great topping bar (vegan mac and cheese sauce, broccoli, salsa, black beans, sauteed onions are my favorites)

Tuesday: Skillet pesto chicken and rice, you can add anon-starchy vegetable of your choice or a green salad

Wednesday: Brown-Butter Miso Glazed Wild Salmon. I suggest roasting veggies on the same baking sheet using either asparagus or broccolini and drizzling it with olive oil and sea salt before roasting it in the oven and/or some sautéed mixed mushrooms with garlic. 

Thursday: Harira (I often leave out the chicken and swap in a pound of cooked chickpeas.) 

Friday: Easy Chinese Chicken served with a side of brown rice and steamed vegetables.

Saturday brunch: Kale, mushroom and brown rice bake  (or use whatever leftover cooked vegetables you have) 

Sunday: Oven baked gigantes beans with tomato, dill, and feta, with either a nice piece of fish or go vegetarian with some simple cauliflower steaks

 

Here’s what you can do in advance if it helps you: 

Sunday: 

Bake potatoes

Make cheese sauce

Make pesto

Make spice mix for chicken and rice

Wednesday: 

Make stock if using homemade

Thursday: 

Cook brown rice

Friday; 

Cook beans 

Sauté veggie mixture for brown rice bake

So much happening right now!  Where do I start??

Those were cooking class recipes a year or two prior to being published!
