Happy weekend, friends!  I hope you and your loved ones are safe. My daughter lives in Dallas and is currently housing several friends who lost power and water. If you are in an area of the country that is challenged by recent storms, I am praying that things return to normal as quickly as possible!

For my monthly online cooking students, I am going live on our private FB page Saturday, February 20 at 9:30 am PT.  Bring your questions or just pull up a chair with your tea and listen while I chat!

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Buddha bowls with Moroccan Spiced Squash (p. 141)  from  KM served with sautéed kale, quinoa, toasted slivered almonds and lemon. You can drizzle tahini dressing on top (use this method)

Tuesday: Baked Asian Turkey Meatballs, black rice (aka forbidden rice) and Asian slaw.

Wednesday: Chickpea Socca with Mediterranean Salad.  You can also skip the feta if you want and drizzle tzatziki on top, method here.

Thursday:  Lemony chickpea soup (this is such a quick and easy soup), Spring salad with oranges, radish, avocado and pumpkin seed brittle (I’m probably going to skip the brittle for a weeknight.

Friday:Wild halibut with Thai coconut sauce served with basic rice and sautéed greens (the sauce is so good, you may want to double it!) I’m going to make extra greens for the naan pizzas on Saturday.

Saturday brunch: naan pizzas with leftover sauteed greens (or any leftover veggies you have from the week) and topped with homeade vegan ricotta cheese

Sunday: slow cooker whole chicken or smoky braised lentils (without turkey sausage) If you want a plant-based option, puree of broccoli
