Dinner Planner: Week of October 2nd

For those of you celebrating the Jewish holidays, Happy New year to you! I hope it is a sweet one (but not too sweet, hee hee.) When I put together last week’s dinner planner, I completely forgot Sunday was the first night of Rosh Hashana! It’s not one of my holidays to do, so it wasn’t on my radar. My mother-in-law takes care of that dinner and I cook the lunch on the first day of Rosh Hashana. Basically, a lot of eating happens in a 24 hour period of time! Have a great week!

Dinner Planner: Week of September 26th

Bar mitzvah weekend is under way over here and I barely have time to talk to you today. Hope you’re doing well! I am having the best time with my family and friends and Mr. Picky has definitely risen to the occasion. Ok, let’s get organized for dinners this week!

Dinner Planner: Week of September 19th

Besides being back-to-school it is also back-to-football season! We love watching a game or two on Sundays. I always make a pot of soup or chili which can sit in a slow cooker on warm for a few hours and everyone can help themselves. Here is a great dinner planner for the week!

Dinner Planner: Week of September 12th

Hello, friends! I have had such a fun weekend in Palo Alto, celebrating the bat mitzvah of the daughter of one of my dearest friends. It is such a lovely area and if you live up here, you are lucky indeed. Back home today and back to the kitchen! This week is the last week I will attempt to enjoy stone fruits. They are sadly not in season any longer. Sniff, sniff. Tomatoes may be good for a few more weeks, as will eggplant, peppers and green beans. And then you’ll see me using more winter squash, cruciferous veggies, grapes, figs, pomegranates and apples. Have a great week!

Dinner Planner: Week of September 5th

Ah, the party’s over. My last day of summer is Labor Day. Mr. Picky starts school on Tuesday, so I have asked him to make a list of breakfasts, lunches and dinners he would happily eat. So, many of this week’s dinner ideas come from my son. I am not normally this democratic, but I believe in starting the year on a strong note!

Dinner Planner- Week of August 29th

Although I was very sad to leave the Golden Door, which is an incredibly magical and serene oasis, I came home inspired to cook. Every bite I ate there was so delicious, fresh and healthful. I can’t wait to head to the farmers markets this weekend and load up on all the fresh produce that summer still has left. If your kids are back to school, it’s time to start getting your meals organized again. Olives, cheese and crackers aren’t going to cut it anymore!

Dinner Planner- Week of August 22nd

I just returned from Dallas and boy oh boy do I need some of my own cooking! Dallas is a great food town, but my husband seems to direct us towards a lot of barbecue and biscuits. Yikes! Green juice is my breakfast this morning and then I am headed by myself for a little restorative time at the Golden Door in Escondido. This mama needs a few days to recover from finishing my book and moving two kids into college this week. I’ll set up my husband and Mr. Picky with a few basics in the fridge, but I’ll be resetting my system with clean, organic food and some much needed rest. I’ll post on Instagram and Facebook if you’d like to come hang out with me. 🙂

Dinner Planner: Week of August 15th

I’m not cooking most of this week since we’ll be moving both my daughters into their dorm room and apartment, respectively. Although I will likely help my older daughter stock her freezer with cooked grains, smoothie packets, maybe a soup or two and, of course, cookie dough! Let’s hope my cooking lessons this summer sank in. I’ll share whatever I can on Instagram Stories, so pop in from time to time to see what we’re up to. In the meantime, I know you have to cook, so I put together a great dinner planner for you this week!
