Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mamas out there! My gift for Mother’s Day is that my older daughter is coming home from college on Tuesday. I could not be more excited! I am patiently waiting for her to tell me what she wants me to cook this week, but I know she is super busy studying for finals. At least that’s what I hope!
Here’s a great dinner planner for the week ahead:
I just started a new menu in my cooking classes this past week! Â We’re doing a breakfast/brunch menu and it was absolutely delish. Â I often post images from my classes on my Instagram stories, although sometimes my students eat everything before I have the chance! Â This week is another busy week of teaching, working on an online course I am developing for Clean Eating Magazine, and trying to get the word out about pre-orders for my book (see below!)
Here’s your dinner planner for this week:
I don’t really care about any other day except Friday this week because I love Mexican food and I am going all out for Cinco de Mayo this year! Â I suggest you invite over a bunch of friends for a pot luck and have a fiesta yourself. Â Images above are in no particular order, I’m afraid. Â It’s just been that kind of week!
Things are feeling very spring-like lately. It’s not just the weather and the new produce in the markets, but we are finalizing summer plans for the kids and our family as a whole. Very exciting!
Here’s the latest dinner planner to help keep you organized at the busiest time of year!
Happy Easter! Â I hope you are able to enjoy a relaxing day with your loved ones. Â One of my fondest Easter memories is hunting for plastic eggs in the backyard and then continuing to find them months later in the summertime! Â My sisters and I also used to save a few jelly beans for the next year by tucking them under the fake grass in our baskets and sure enough, they were in perfect condition one year later. Â Go figure!
Here’s your dinner planner this week:
I am knee-deep in shredded coconut and almond flour, preparing for Passover! Â My mom is visiting for a few days and we’re having a great time, squeezing in some shopping, ladies’ lunches and museums in between cooking. Â If you don’t observe Passover, you can look at the menus anyway and see if there’s something you can make on Monday and Tuesday. Â Have a great week!
Mr. Picky is off for spring break, so my husband and I took him on Friday night to Park City where we will hang out for a few days. Â The weather is just the way I like it – warm! Â We’re skiing, going out to dinner, watching college basketball and just trying to relax a little before I go back home to busy week ahead. I am starting a new menu this week and I’ll start preparing for next Monday’s Passover seder. Â I am also really excited for my mom to visit this week. Â We always check out the new, cool places to go to lunch and she’s always a great sous chef when I need one!
Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
I had a busy week last week with lots of classes plus an Easter Brunch shoot with my friend Jenni Kayne and The Chalkboard Mag.  Recipes coming to both of those sites around April 10th.  This week is the last week of my March menu, plus I have a shoot with my friend Molly Sims and I’m going to do some videos at the end of the week.  Let me know ASAP if you have any requests!
I’ve got to be super organized for meals this week.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
