I have about 45 gifts to buy and I think I have only checked 3 people off my list.  EEEEK!!!  I didn’t even get around to compiling a gift list this year because I have been editing my book up until today and it is finally off my desk.    Phew!  I am so proud of it and I cannot wait to share it with you.  The publication date is April 21st, 2020!!  The book is called Quicker Than Quick and the theme is (obviously) faster recipes.  I know, it’s what everybody wants!!  You can pre-order it here on amazon.

I just filmed my December online class today and will be editing it this weekend and uploading it next week.  Sooo much good information in this class!  If you are already a subscriber, you will be able to maintain your status at the $17/month.  For anyone thinking about joining, you can lock in your subscription at $17/month (basically less than lunch at Veggie Grill) before the price goes up in January 2020!  Click here for more information.  I will be adding more value to the classes by way of a sheet of resources at the end of the monthly recipe packet.  I am also in the process of streamling the website to make it easier to access the class videos.  It’s all very exciting!!

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Rustic butternut squash soup with fennel and wild rice

Tuesday: Shrimp and mixed vegetables with coconut basil sauce, brown rice or noodles

Wednesday: Sweet potato and black bean tacos, mango/jicama/avocado salad – sub oranges for the mango

Thursday: peas with turkey bacon (omit the bacon if you want and make with just frozen baby peas), herbed farro (cook according to the package directions but add a little olive oil and stir in fresh minced herbs after finished cooking), roasted cabbage wedges

Friday: Slow cooker Italian pot roast from my cookbook, polenta, sautéed spinach or collard greens

Saturday Brunch: Baked eggs with parsnips and walnut pesto from the original dish
