Here’s what’s weird to me – we’re all stuck at home all day and you would think the days would go so slowly.  But just the opposite is true.  The days fly by and I can’t explain it.  I am still continuing my daily Instagram Lives at noon PT, although I just started to take a Sunday family day break.  Honestly, these lives have been the highlight of my day.  It is my social hour and I feel like I am getting to know the people in my community in a way I never could have.  #SilverLining

Oh, and MY NEW BOOK CAME OUT THIS WEEK!!!!  I cried.  I did. I worked so hard to write a book that you would find useful and helpful, one that would make you feel like I’m in the kitchen with you.  I was on the edge of my seat waiting for your responses, and when I started seeing everyone’s DM’s, Instagram and Facebook photos, emails, comments, I sat down and cried tears of joy and relief.  Plus, I also re-read the dedication I wrote to my father who passed away suddenly during my last round of edits and just had a moment.  It has been an emotional week and I am grateful for your support in carrying me through.  Thank you!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Veggie and bean burrito bowls with cilantro-lime rice and Mexican Sautéed Greens recipe (roast whatever you have!), avocado or guacamole and/or salsa

Tuesday: Artichoke and Spinach Barley Risotto , green salad using your favorite dressing, salmon patties

Wednesday: Broccoli, Celery Root, and Spinach Soup from my book, I’m going to add cooked quinoa and white beans or chickpeas to make this a hearty meal.

Thursday: stir fry soba noodles with vegetables and tofu

Friday: South American Roast Chicken with Green Sauce from my book, (my favorite chicken recipe ever and the best sauce ever) Solterito (peruvian chopped salad)

Saturday brunch: Spinach Pizza Quesadillas with a fresh side salad using your favorite organic greens

Sunday: Chopped Grilled Vegetable Salad (I’ll see what comes in my produce box but I just did it on IG live with zucchini, green onions, eggplant, and asparagus), grilled shrimp (I do a quick spice rub on these with my fish taco seasoning)

 

Here’s what you can do ahead if it helps you:

Sunday

Wash and all greens and vegetables

Make salad dressings

Make stock

  3. Good morning! I just received your book and am excited to get into it. I am cooking for 6 now and have found your recipes to be helpful! Question, which produce company do you receive your produce box from. I’ve been contemplating this now as an effort to reduce shopping. Thank you.

    • Thank you so much, Nancy!! I know you will love it! There are many options for produce delivery. I am ordering from Melissa’s Produce. But you can get delivery from GROW in the South Bay as well as many restaurants are doing CSA boxes, like Arthur J, Fish Bar and GreenleafChopShop.

  4. I just received your new book the other day and it made me so happy! I already tagged lots of recipes that I plan to try. Thank you for continuing to give me great ideas for cooking.

    • Thank you, Michelle! I know you will enjoy cooking from it!

  5. Pamela, I LOVE your new cookbook and can’t wait to make so many of the recipes! Your cooking lessons and emails are getting me through this quarantine!
