More Meals, More Fun!

I got a lot of great feedback from my last post about my meal plan, which made me very happy! I know how much time my meal planning takes on a weekend, but it saves me time during the week, so if can save you time by sharing, that makes me even more happy. 

It has been a crazy week here. I was home for a week running around doing all sorts of wedding prep, then took the 6 a.m. flight in on Tuesday and went right to work and hit the ground running. Now that I've had a minute to breathe, I spent the morning making this meal plan and grocery shopping and I'm really excited about it (like I wish I could eat it all right now).

Go out and enjoy your Labor Day Weekend, and don't stress about what you're going to make this week. I've got you covered!

Those Who Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail.

I'm very diligent about meal planning - if I don't do it, it is my absolute downfall. I'm not the kind of person who can operate on the no-plan plan when it comes to eating - I'll inevitably get take out or crap at the store. So each week, I sit down and map out every meal (even breakfast!) and make my grocery list. 

Over the course of doing this, some friends and family asked if I would share it with them, so I've been sharing it via email. Then I thought - why not just put it up on the blog for everyone? 

Eggplant: It's What's For Dinner

The first time I ever had eggplant was about two years ago. Friends had Sean and I over for dinner and they grilled it (along with some other vegetables), and in the interest of being a polite guest, I took a slice. Then I tried not to act like a freak at the table when I realized how good it was and helped myself to a half an eggplants worth sized helping.

Needless to say, I've tried multiple eggplant recipes, including by beloved eggplant rollatini, but this one might take the cake.
