I get more requests for sheet pan meals than anything else! I love them too. I taught this one last year and I still make it regularly, varying the vegetables and even swapping in chicken or fish. (See the bottom of the post for substitutions.) This recipe would be great for a weeknight, but also terrific for serving vegetarians, plant-based eaters, and omnivores who are happy to eat plant-based once in a while. Continue reading
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:
When September rolls around, I drop berries and stone fruits like a hot potato and move right on over to apples and pears for fruit desserts. I taught this cake last year and then proceeded to make it for the Jewish holidays and every time we had people over in the fall. Then all my friends who ate it asked me for the recipe and I told them, “sorry, it’s exclusive to my online cooking class!” Little did they know I tweaked an Ottolenghi recipe. LOL. This cake reminds me of a better version of the Silver Palate chunky apple walnut cake that I made 100 times when I was in college. Continue reading

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

It’s the perfect time to try a new one-pot meal! September is like the New Year, in a way. And I am back into a cooking routine, but I want to ease back into it. This recipe is a twist on my favorite one-pot meal, Mediterranean Chicken with Rice. There’s also another variation in my cookbook, Quicker Than Quick, called Weeknight Arroz con Pollo. Delicious!Continue reading

This weekend is the big Drop-Off!! Mr. Picky is going to college. If you think YOU can’t believe it, how do you think I feel?? Because I’m traveling on Monday, I can’t do my regular Monday IG Live at 5. If I get my act together, maybe I can try to do it on Tuesday. I’ll post on Instagram if I can.
