We’re talking big bowls of back-to-your-roots, just plain good wholesome food today. And we’re only dirtying  one pot  as we do it. Yes, we’re ALL shocked. Mostly my husband who stood over the sink in disbelief, eyes scanning the rest of the kitchen trying to figure out where the rest of the dirty pots and pans  must  be hiding because he knows I cook like a tornado passing through. Nope. Not this time. This   time  there was dinner on the table before ungodly hours of the night. It had vegetables. So. Many. Vegetables. Everyone went back for seconds. (S...

spinach and pinto bean enchiladas with cotija cheese These spinach and pinto bean enchiladas are stuffed with handfuls of cotija cheese and topped with an easy homemade enchilada sauce. So delicious! I would like to be able to say that I gave birth to a good eater, but the truth is that 95% of what I attempt to serve to Remy gets thrown onto the floor in protest unless it’s mango or strawberries. And she’s not even in the terrible two’s yet! Thank god for breastmilk or I swear this kid would attempt to subsist on air alone.

simple spinach salad with raspberries, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette A simple side salad for spring made with baby spinach, fresh raspberries, and goat cheese that are tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette.

My mom would literally just pull a bag of pre-chopped lettuce out of the fridge, douse it in some blue cheese or ranch, and call it a vegetable. I used to think she was just being lazy, but now I have a kid and I know better.  She was just surviving.  I get it. Thankfully, making a side salad with just a little more oomph really doesn’t take much more time or effort than the salads I had as a kid. This simple spinach salad with raspberries, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette is the  PERRFFECCTTT  side salad staple for spring. Just do a weekly shop for the ingredients and that’s alr...
