I am back from my trip to Paris and even though I missed Hubs, it was too quick! I spent a few days with dear friends and then joined a small group hosted by reps from Staub in the US.  We went to the Staub factory in Merville, France, which was like being a kid in a candy store. I saw how all Staub enameled cast iron is made from start to finish.  As you know, I started buying Staub in my 20’s when I was first married and built my collection slowly over time. I am still using the same pieces in my daily cooking and I still believe Staub is the highest quality, most beautiful and versatile cookware.  For anyone interested in all the restaurants and shops I visited in Paris (+ some of the ones I didn’t get to), it will all be in this Monday’s newsletter! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: One Pot Vegan Pumpkin Pasta from Nosh with Micah + a green salad with chickpeas

Tuesday: Grilled Chicken Paillard, harvest chopped salad 

Wednesday: Herbed sweet and spicy wild salmon p. 247 from QTQ + green beans with shallots + sauteed Swiss chard

Thursday: Turkey (or beef or tempeh) tacos –  I like to use soft corn tortillas and set out bowls of pico de gallo + Grated Carrot Salad with Avocado 

Friday: Chicken and vegetable curry, steamed brown rice

Saturday Brunch: Savory Whole Grain Ricotta Pancakes, I’m topping mine with my 5-minute cherry tomato sauce – so delicious! + a Pumpkin Spice Yerba Mate Latte

Sunday: Black bean and pumpkin soup, maybe some corn muffins (I love the parmesan zucchini corn muffins p. 132 from QTQ)
