Weekend Travels: Lisbon

Lisbon, I had high hopes for you and you definitely didn’t disappoint. My husband and I had talked about going to Portugal ever since we moved to London and finally pulled the EasyJet trigger for a random weekend in April. The weather was a bit chilly (about 50-65F) and rained in the mornings, but nothing…

Raisin Chickpea Quinoa Salad

Chickpeas are so versatile, they add so much heartiness to a dish without overpowering the taste. They work so nicely in this quinoa salad combined with the veggies and sweetness of the raisins – it also holds up well all week, great for a make-ahead Sunday dish!

Sunday Meal Prep – Week 7

Ok, so I have decided this is my favorite menu to date (my husband agrees, and he’s a tough food critic!) – I can’t wait to share all the recipes with you this upcoming week, you will LOVE them! My Sunday Meal Prep will be on hiatus for a few weeks – I’m headed to…

Lemon Honey Mustard Salmon

Salmon is one of my go-to meals – my husband and I both love it and it can be cooked in 10 minutes. It also holds up well during the week, so it’s a great fish to cook on Sunday and use all week! You probably have a “go-to” way that you prepare your salmon…
