C’s picks.

How is your weekend going? I hope well! Ours has been pretty chill.

Alright, now as apart of our Dinner: Impossible series, I really hope you are giving yourself 20 minutes today to think about your kitchen line up for the week. Who’s with me? Here’s our menu plan, if it helps:

Sunday we’ll be eating up deep bowls of homemade black bean soup at my mom’s. Oh, and stuffing ourselves with oodles of homemade baked apple goods. Best day of Fall, ever.

I’m thinking a big batch of homemade (healthy!) bolognese sauce is a good way to kick off the week. I’ll get it done during nap time so come dinnertime, all I will have to do is toss with fresh pasta. A great part of this recipe is that it makes a ton, so share with a friend or use for another night of the week.

Tuesday let’s try out a new recipe from my new book, Dinner: The Playbook: A 30-Day Plan for Mastering the Art of the Family Meal. (Thank you Becky!) Sticky pomegranate chicken pieces, brown rice, and sugar snap peas. I will keep you posted!

Slow cooker cuban braised beef and peppers sounds fantastic to be simmering away all day Wednesday. After football all that will need to be done is make the brown rice which, thanks to Trader Joe’s, only takes 3 minutes. Delicious.

Thursday mom is out! Boys, have fun.

And gosh – that brings us to Friday and to my last night home before M and I are off to California. I’m going to miss my boys so much. Dinner in together, his & hers styled pizza, sounds absolutely perfect.

That’s our line up – tell me, what are you making?

P.S. I’ve gotten so many inquires about B’s shirt! It’s from Crewcuts but unfortunately is no longer available.
