Dinner Planner – Week of December 18, 2023

We’re in the Christmas home stretch! I hope you’re staying healthy and sane in these last weeks of 2023. A couple of admin notes. I was just invited to be a guest chef at The Golden Door the week of January 21, 2024. This is an actual dream come true for me since The Golden Door is my happy place and a truly magical, transformative experience. I will be teaching a cooking class one night and preparing dinner for all the guests with the kitchen staff on another night. I truly cannot wait. Let me know if you will be there that week so we can hang out. Even better if you play pickle 😉

This Monday’s newsletter will have ideas for homemade gifts from the kitchen and ways to package them. Subscribe for free here. Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Dinner Planner – Week of December 11, 2023

Oooops! I’m a little delayed getting this week’s dinner planner to you. So sorry! I wish I could say I have bought all my gifts and finalized our menu for Christmas, but that is not the case! I am headed to The Golden Door by myself today for a few days of R&R and I am very much looking forward to it. I know this is such a busy time of year and we can often put ourselves and our health last, but as much as I can, I try to cook simple meals at home, get good sleep and never skip my supplements. Stay sane and stay healthy, friends! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Dinner Planner – Week of December 4, 2023

We are getting into the busy season and also you may be going out more or invited to holiday parties. This is why I make sure I plan easy healthy meals at home. I will certainly enjoy all the festive foods when I’m out, but I don’t let my normal eating fall by the wayside when I’m at home. I do these dinner planners to provide inspiration for your meals for the week so you can plan them in advance, but don’t think that I don’t eat a couple scrambled eggs with leftover veggies for dinner if I’m too tired to cook. Or pull a frozen soup out of the freezer or make a saute of a bunch of chopped veggies and add some canned beans or frozen peas. On another note, my monthly online cooking class for December is up and so fabulous for any holiday dinner, either Hanukkah or Christmas or otherwise. I would love for you to consider taking a class! I film a new class every month with all new recipes. You watch the class on your own time. It is not live! But I do host a live office hour to answer any questions you have about anything.

Dinner Planner – Week of November 20, 2023

Thanksgiving is this week!! I am looking forward to spending the holiday with my family. The food is always fun, but definitely secondary. I have no more new recipes coming this week because you all should have committed to a menu by now. If not, do it so you can start prepping! If you need help, I have a Thanksgiving ebook with all the recipes, tips and tricks you need for $15. No searching my site or the internet for hours – it’s all in one place! If you subscribe to my monthly cooking class, I have an extra live zoom “office hours” on Sunday at 9:00 am PT. Check your email for the link! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Dinner Planner – Week of October 30, 2023

I have had a hard time this week with the current events and decided to limit my social media and news-watching. If I don’t respond to you on Instagram as quickly as possible, you know why! This Monday’s newsletter will take the place of my normal “4 weeks before Thanksgiving” post I usually put on my site. And if you take my monthly online cooking class, the Thanksgiving class will be uploaded this week!! In the meantime, Hubs and I are going to have a little getaway for my birthday (which was the other day) in Santa Barbara this weekend. We’ll do our IG live on Monday from there as well!
