Porcini, Greens, and Bean Soup Recipe

Hubs announced to me the other day that he could eat soup for every meal.  Amen!  I love soup too and for lots of reasons – it’s very digestible; it’s an easy way to get in lots of vegetables, especially leafy greens; it’s a one-pot meal (you all know how I feel about washing dishes); and leftovers are awesome.Continue reading

Dinner Planner – Week of October 4th, 2021

Who is having a BIG Thanksgiving this year??  Me me me!!  I can’t wait!!  I am very excited to take my own Thanksgiving Bootcamp starting THIS week because I need a little refresh for this holiday.  It has been exactly 2 years since I have entertained on this scale and I need to sharpen my skills!  Who wants to join me???  I will have you so prepared for Thanksgiving that you will be giddy with anticipation for the big day and totally prepared for any massive cooking holiday in the future!  For my community, use the code TDAY100 for $100 OFF this course.  I had people write me emails after last year’s Thanksgiving with tears of joy streaming down their faces!  I only host this once a year!

Also, I am repeating my favorite bootcamp of all this week, Plant-Based 2.0!  If you want to deepen your plant based cookings skills so you never need to buy a Plant-Based cookbook, this is the course for you.  You’ll be able to convert any recipe with animal products to a plant-based version.  You don’t have to be 100% plant-exclusive or vegan to benefit from this course.  Use the code YESPB2 for $100 off this course!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:Continue reading

Tomato Tart with Olive Oil Crust Recipe

In paid partnership with Walmart. All opinions are my own.

I feel like a lot of us use the phrases “pre-pandemic” or “before the pandemic” regularly in conversation.  For example, “I used to go the grocery store much more before the pandemic.” Or, “the last time I entertained indoors was pre-pandemic!” For me personally, some things have changed and have not gone back to pre-pandemic ways.  For starters, grocery shopping in person.  It’s not that I never go to a store, but I LOVE shopping for groceries online.  I have been a Walmart.com shopper for years and years and jumped on the Walmart+ membership which is the answer to my prayers – fresh, high quality (yes, organic and products I normally buy) groceries with free, same day delivery from your local Walmart ($35 minimum. Restrictions apply.)  Yes, you need to pay for a membership, but have you seen LA traffic lately??  It is back to pre-pandemic levels!!  The membership has been well worth it.  May I repeat myself – groceries delivered the same day.  And, no mark-ups, no hidden fees.Continue reading

Dinner Planner – Week of September 27, 2021

Is it too early to start thanking about Thanksgiving?  I think not!  I just opened the cart to my 4-week Thanksgiving Bootcamp which starts the week of October 4th!  I am teaching two different days and different times.  I taught this bootcamp last year and my email inbox was flooded with rave reviews and Thanksgiving success stories!  Let me sweeten the deal with a $100 off discount code TDAY100.  Click here to learn more!

Dinner Planner – Week of September 20th, 2021

I hope you had a nice holiday if you celebrated this week!  I really liked the menu I put together for our break fast on Yom Kippur.  I also made my challah recipe into rolls (1 recipe made 9 rolls) and I made Jake Cohen’s “Perfect Challah” which was a beautiful color because it called for honey + sugar, but it was way too sweet and not salty enough.  In case you’re always looking for the perfect challah recipe.  I think mine is pretty pretty good!  For dinner, in addition to some traditional deli stuff, I made spanakopita, sweet noodle kugel, vegan lasagna, mejadra, roasted vegetable salad, farro with roasted tomato vinaigrette, and olive bar chickpea salad from QTQ.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:Continue reading

Dinner Planner – Week of September 13, 2021

I have made it through two weeks of school lunches!!! Considering I had set my alarm clock 4 times in a year a half and made zero school lunches, I think I’m doing great!  I’m sure my son’s senior year of high school is off to a great start, too LOL.

This week I completed Week 1 of the Raising Healthy Eaters bootcamp and I am thrilled with the two groups participating and the supportive energy we have going!  If you’re trying to plan ahead, the bootcamps I am running in October will be Plant Based 2.0 AND ….Thanksgiving!!!! Totally excited for both!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:Continue reading
