The pandemic has changed us all in big and small ways. One way for me is that I am now a menu planner. Hours spent browsing the aisles of a market are now replaced with much more strategic lists and purchases accounting for all our meals. Honestly, it’s why I created the Every.Single.Meal calendar and I use it every week. (It’s free, link in my bio). Here’s this weeks game plan and the day you can find the recipe in the calendar. We kicked off the week with Shakshuka Sunday, can that be a thing? (Recipe day 2)
Monday: 🌮 (genetic ground beef and shredded 🥬, old school)
Tuesday: Egg Roll in a 🍲 (day 8)
Wednesday: Roasted Greek Chickpea Bowls (day 27)
Thursday: Enfrijoladas (day 25)
Friday: Takeout
Saturday: Yellow Squash Ribbon Quiche (day 17)

What’s on your meal plan this week?

About last night...I have always wanted to grill pizza. And now, I can say, oh totally I grill pizza don’t you? And here are my takeaways:
🍽
1. It is a major undertaking. Have multiple sheet pans ready (one for prepped dough, one for finished pies, one for toppings, oil and tools). Also, have your children otherwise engaged/supervised/contained bc the grill is HOT and there is no time to lose. Anyone who says they do this casually, I would like to see photographic evidence.
🍕
2. Red cabbage and red onions is legit my new favorite pizza toppings.
🍷
3. Yes, the crust was amazing and it’s probably the only way I actually like pizza made at home now that I’ve tried it.
🥖
4. If you’re in #Nantucket use the dough from @somethingnaturalack . It is 💯!!! And also it’s $2.

This morning, for #campmom we didn’t cook. We put the baby to sleep and left the house. We can do this because dad is upstairs working. (Trying to embrace the pandemic positives). We went to the beach, in our matching pajamas and we collected stones and shells and sticks and made footprints in the wet sand and built a tiny fairy house and generally felt free.

🪁
Also, to be frank, we wouldn’t have had time or energy or capacity to make limeade yesterday or cook other days if the baby wasn’t napping. (Sleep training was project #1 in early quarantine. Thank you @takingcarababies ). And I wouldn’t have been able to get the groceries to make limeade if we didn’t have a sitter living with us for one month, the first child care help since late February. And I wouldn’t be able to take a nutrition and wellness class that I had pushed off for over a year without her help. I am trying to scrape together a semblance of my career so when we emerge from all of this yes I am mom, but also have some of my own professional identity in tact. Until then, we do the best we can. And we thank @debperelman for seeing all of us and writing what she did for the @nytimes .

Today we made limeade. Unlike our bluefish fiasco

Today we made limeade. Unlike our bluefish fiasco, the kids guzzled this right down. What did you do? Also, need more limes. #summercampathome #limes #kidapproved #snack #dessert #ack #nantucket #mynewenglandsummer
