Every season, we share all the things we’re eating and recipes we’re cooking right now — because we think they’ll help you figure out what to cook and eat too. These are our current life-saving, back-pocket mealtime solutions saving us from take-out. And, hey, this time we threw in what we’re reading too, because we’re crazy like that.

What’s Cooking in Our Kitchens
As you guys know, we’re crazy busy working parents too. (Proof: Stacie has taken a year to share her IP Egg White Bites recipe. HA!) Being a food professional does not spare us the stress and exhaustion of getting dinner on the table for our families night after night. After night.
That’s why we keep a stash of back-pocket recipes that we can count on to help get us through our busy weeks. With these, we can go on autopilot knowing that dinner will be quick to prep and easy to serve everyone in our families.
Here’s what we’re cooking right now, the winter 2020 edition:
Baked Crispy Peanut Tofu at Minimalist Baker (pictured)
Stacie’s Lighter Fettuccine Alfredo
Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Beef Stir Fry)
Stacie’s favorite Roasted Cauliflower with Chickpeas
Marinated Beans on Sourdough (serve with roasted sausage)
Double Chocolate Brownies from Half the Sugar by Jennifer Tyler Lee
Meghan’s Veggie Cream Cheese
Patty’s Sweet Potato Soup
What We’re Reading Too!
Since we talked about what we’re eating these days, we thought why not share what we’re reading too!
A non sequitur? Perhaps! But fear not, because we bring it all around. In talking about books, we also end up sharing an update to our weight loss episode. Tis the season, we suppose.
