Who’s excited??? ME!!  The girls are coming home from college and we are all so excited, especially Mr. Picky who I don’t think loves getting all the attention. 😉 I’m going to get busy on Sunday with my cranberry sauce and applesauce!

Happy weekend!  I picked a lot of easy recipes this week since I am working more than usual up until Thanksgiving.  I made the split pea soup the other night (easiest soup ever) and my husband requested it again this week.  No problem, dear!

Here’s your dinner planner for this week:

Happy Weekend!  Things have been busy around here.  I just started a new cooking class menu this week and it has gotten me into the Thanksgiving spirit!  I am officially excited for the holiday.  One thing I have been suggesting to my students is to try out new recipes this week before Thanksgiving.  That way you feel confident and you can make changes if necessary.

In other news, I was in New York last week to tape a segment on The Rachael Ray Show (OMG!!) and the show will air on Monday, November 6th. Woo-hoo!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:Continue reading

I had a great 2 days in New York! I was able to squeeze in a visit with my parents see one of my sisters and her family, and a couple of my cousins, plus some blogger friends and the highlight of my trip was doing a segment on The Rachael Ray Show.  It was one of the best media experiences I have ever had.  She is running a great operation over there and it was a total thrill to do a segment with her.  I’ll let you know when the episode will air!  In the meantime, I need to plan some dinners for next week:Continue reading

I saw a quote on Hoda Kotb’s Instagram feed, “Friday the 13th is still better than Monday the whatever.”  Love that. 🙂  This felt like a looooong week.  Lots of great stuff coming up this week like a book signing at Salutations Home in Pasadena on Monday, October 16th from 9:45 am to 11:45 am.  Then I am taping a segment on Hallmark’s “Home & Family” on Thursday which will air Friday, October 20th.  Annnnnd, I’m teaching 4 classes!  Hope you guys have a great weekend!

This was not the best of weeks, I think we can all agree on that.  I valued even more the gift of sitting down with my family each night to be together and share a meal that I cooked with love.  I know cooking can be hard to fit into a busy life, but do what you can.  It’s important to eat well, and cooking at home is the best way.  🙂  Try to write down a dinner planner for the week and you’ll be more likely to stick to it!  Here’s a dinner planner I am sharing with you this week:

I’ve been a little overwhelmed and understaffed at Pamela Salzman Headquarters this week, so I apologize for the lack of new blogposts.  I had a great time in Dallas seeing my daughters, teaching a class, at a book signing and at the FOX station for a cooking segment.  In between my trip and some classes in LA, I had a fabulous time at Room at the Beach in Malibu cooking and signing books.

I have also been doing some last minute editing on a new round of videos for Instagram, which I think you will love!
