PRO meals: Salmon in parchment with asparagus and basil

I’m getting waryyyy too comfortable with our Trader Joe’s routine. I put Livi in the baby carrier (the BabyHawk or Ergo), grab a cart, and blitz through the store, often in 15 minutes max. It has to be fast and furious, because Livi loves to snack her way through Trader Joe’s and I try to…

So fresh and green

PRO meals: Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Slow cooker, many nights you’re the very reason why we have a “real” dinner. Chicken cacciatore is one of my favorite easy summer meals, but the delicious smell of it simmering on the stove also makes it appropriate for fall. This past week, the only way it was going to happen would be in the…

Sushi Saturday

We’re on a roll….. We’ve been on a huuuuuuge sushi kick lately. If we can’t decide where to go for dinner, sushi has become our default. We had a sitter last night, so the Pilot and I decided to hit up Ra, which is one of our favorite spots. Margaritas for both of us: (it…
