What You Need To Know This Week & Easy Weeknight Meals

 

I intended to post this on Friday but got caught up in huge, last minute work project and wasn’t at my laptop all day. So – a few days late, here are some fun reads for you. I’m also sharing the easy weeknight meal plan we followed last week – if you like this type of thing I’ll try to share more often. Last week my husband worked every night so all of these meals were able to be made while watching Piper at the same time.

Sonnet James has PARTY DRESSES and they are so cute. Top of my wish list for sure!

Would you go gift-less this holiday season? Read about it here.

Michelle Adams was the editor in chief of Domino magazine before founding Lonny  – and has since done a lot with her career, most recently she launched The Maryn, an online store full of the prettiest curated home finds – they also have a great kid & baby section.

Pre-order my globe -trotting friend Hitha’s book – How To Pack: Travel Smart For Any Trip 

Have you read The Happiest Baby On The Block? It’s one of the most popular books on how to get your baby to sleep (we loved it) and the author, Dr. Harvey Karp has created ‘the safest baby bed ever designed’ ! Meet the Snoo here.

I love this article on the items donation centers ACTUALLY need this holiday season.

And…. the easy, delicious and mostly healthy meals we ate last week…Which allowed for lunch leftovers all week.

Monday: Creamy Thai Sweet Potato Curry (I would add chickpeas next time)
Tuesday: Quinoa Quiche + Salad ( I loosely follow this recipe but omit the cream cheese and add a sliced turkey sausage)
Wednesday: Naan Pizzas + Salad (We add greek olives instead of mushrooms and I use black olives on Piper’s)
Thursday: Potato Broccoli Soup  from this cookbook (first time making this and will most definietly be again soon!)
Friday: Five Guys before a holiday party (told you it was mostly healthy).
