We are on our way home today. I just wanted to thank you all for your kind comments and emails regarding my grandfather. It was very sweet and much appreciated. We had a wonderful week together as a family, despite the sad circumstances of our gathering. I feel very grateful for the time we had together.
Le Creuset has a new color called Quince, which you can get at Williams-Sonoma. I am participating in a photo contest with other food bloggers to help show off this pretty new yellow. The blogger who gets the most “Likes” on her photo gets to give away a bunch of Quince goodies. Because of this week’s unexpected travel, I forgot to beg you for votes and I’m pretty sure I’m in last place. If you want to make my photo feel more popular, visit this Pinterest page and “Like” it. Thank you!

Jane,
Your family has been in my thoughts all week. I have thought of you often, and prayed for peace in the midst of your grief.
This week my baby is still recovering from surgery, and isn’t allowed to play in his jumperoo for nearly a month, so my weekday meal prep time has been short since he either wants to jump or be held 🙂

We had a really lazy weekend, and I enjoyed every minute of it. That being said, we didn’t even go to the farmer’s market or grocery store, so we are eating up what’s in the house this week, and hoping it gets us through the whole week (lunches and dinners). Here’s the plan in no particular order:

foil dinners ? is this where you put protein and veggies in a foil pack and bake ? i tihnk i heard about these once. they seemed easy for a weeknight meal ?
Yeah, for the foil dinners, I use a ground beef patty (whatever size you feel suits you) and then add any veggies that sound good. When we did it last week, I used chopped carrots, chopped red potatoes and sliced red peppers. I seasoned it with a little seasoning salt and Montreal steak seasoning. Wrapped it all up in foil and baked it at 350 for about 45 mins. I’m sure you could also sub a chicken breast for the ground beef. Either way, easy and delicious!
great idea ! i love dinners that are in the oven for a short period of time so that i can do other things instead of being stuck in the kitchen !
