Chicken Eggplant Parm on the menu tonight!

My girls are hit or miss with this! Sometimes I leave extra filling & just serve with that & a tortilla separately, or sometimes they’ll eat it with us! Greg loves this dish. I hope you like it too!

A quick and easy dinner, or side dish, you can serve this cold or with warm grains! (I prefer cold)

We love love love to bake, if you don't know yet. I'm a big mini muffin maker The girls love helping me, and it gives us an afternoon activity.

For Christmas brunch I made this Broccoli Cheddar Hash Brown quiche and it was delish! I made it on Christmas Eve, and warmed it up on the stove top for Christmas Day.

Sometimes the easiest options for me are pastas mixed with veggies and a protein and side of fruit.

Let’s talk meal time. I dread it as the day goes on... my oldest never wants anything I make, and I am over thinking of / looking up exciting recipes.

What dinners have been a HIT for your families this week?

We’ve been doing a lot of “grain bowls” and tonight I made enchilada lasagna adapted from the How Sweet Eats recipe.

Tonight we did our version of the tik tok feta pasta with broccoli & meatballs

Before I dive in, I will say Greg + I honeymooned in Greece, and I think almost every dinner out I had baked feta as an app + we carried that over to holidays + special gatherings here.

I’ve been eating a lot of red meat lately... well I usually do, because I’m typically someone with low iron & heme iron is well absorbed by the body. I notice a difference when my iron levels are low: headaches, tired, etc. So eating red meat definitely makes a difference for me. Anyway... here’s my latest creation:

This week a SUPER simple healthy meal & you can honestly edit to your liking.

Quinoa bowl with sausage, peppers & feta! I served this warm, but can also be served cold or room temp. Here’s my simple, on-the-go recipe but share in the comments if/how you switch it up!

I am a big meatball advocate because you can try to hide veggies in there for the kids. This was my plate, but I served the kids everything separately.

This week’s idea is Mediterranean Farro! I love this dish & it’s always a hit. It can be a side or main dish. My kids are hit or miss with it as with everything most days I don’t measure things out but will do my best to give measurements but feel free to always eye ball things

Why do we have all these crazy expectations of ourselves? How are we supposed to keep up?

Whatever happened to simple? Simple adventures, simple games at home, simple arts + crafts, simple vacations, simple birthday parties?

If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly in these moments.

You are your SUPERPOWER.
