Mercury is in retrograde. That’s what I was told is the reason that my week was INSANE! I really felt like the energy in the universe was a little wonky this week. Saturday I am off to NY to see my family for a bit and then do a little work. Check my Instagram and FB page for confirmation, but I’ll be popping into The Feed Feed’s offices on Tuesday for an Instagram Live around 11:00 am EST. Then at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition on Tuesday for an Instagram Live at 2:00 pm EST. And then on Wednesday, I’ll be in the Real Simple kitchen cooking up a storm on Instagram Live at 1:00 pm EST. So excited for everything! Here’s so inspo for the week:
Meatless Monday: Broccoli, celery root and spinach soup from my cookbook, savory dutch baby with spinach and gruyere
Tuesday: Greek-style grilled chicken paillard
Wednesday: Spinach and quinoa salad with feta and dill (use whatever leftovers you have from last night’s dinner here, too!) You can serve this alone or with grilled shrimp or any cooked protein.
Thursday: Parchment baked halibut with cilantro and ginger, blanched broccoli sautéd in garlic
Passover (Friday & Saturday) – See this post and this post for some menu ideas. This year we are making brisket (2nd night only), a roasted vegetable platter, perfect spring salad, sweet potato casserole (using coconut instead of corn flakes), matzoh lasagne with vegetables but using the vegan creamy cheese from this recipe to make it vegan, baked chicken with artichokes and capers, halibut with chermoula, mazto ball soup, Passover popovers, fruit platter, coconut macaroons, chocolate cake, lemon torte, cashew cheesecake, strawberry-rhubarb sauce and carrot banana cake (using this recipe) or grain-free carrot cake.
