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
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
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
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!

Let me sweeten the deal with a $100 off discount code TDAY100. Click here to learn more!

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
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
Let’s do one last zucchini/summer squash recipe before fall! I’ve been on a zucchini kick this year, and I don’t even grow it. It is just a vegetable that my whole family really likes despite the fact (or maybe because) that it’s kind of bland. I’ve even taken to steaming it and freezing it for smoothies (just 1/4 cup in one smoothie.)Continue reading
I’ve been busy creating new material and content for you all! I just uploaded the September class for those of you who take my monthly online cooking class! I can’t stop making the recipes!! Soooooo good! Also, I am so excited that my newest, never before seen BOOTCAMP is open for sign-ups!! We start this week and it’s called Raising Healthy Eaters and it is your answer to how to raise children who have a healthy relationship with food, can make good choices when they are away from you, and how to stop being a short order cook. If you’re new here, I raised three children (two of whom were really picky and now they’re not!), taught over a thousand students (mostly moms) in person over the years, and educated hundreds of elementary school students in nutrition and gardening. I’ve been there, seen it, heard it, counseled, learned, and implemented my strategies FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES with incredible success. I have poured all my knowledge into this course and I cannot wait to change your life!!! For my website subscribers and my students, I am sweetening the deal with a $100 off coupon code: KIDS100 Here’s your dinner planner for the week:Continue reading
