Hey there! On Tuesdays I share easy lunch recipes for paid subscribers.

To me, a “lunch recipe” is especially simple to make and simple to clean-up (of course you can make the recipe for any mealtime that you’d like!).

I always include a number of helpful notes for paid subscribers (i.e. ways to make vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free versions of the recipe and other fun notes/ideas).

Want today’s recipe? And access to all of the recipes I’ve shared??? Become a paid subscriber today! It’s the most direct way to support my work. xoxoxox

A couple of weeks ago I shared a newsletter about the meal kits I’ve been helping to put together for my local food pantry. If you missed it, here it is:

food pantry meal kits

A few months ago I started working on helping to create monthly meal kits for my local food pantry. These kits include pretty much all of the ingredients needed for a healthy + tasty meal, along with a recipe + lots of notes (not unlike what I offer here in this newsletter!!).

Read full story

I got a lot of responses for people asking for the actual recipes.

So today for paid subscribers, instead of the usual single simple lunch-friendly recipe, I’m sharing all SIX (!!) of the meal kit PDFs I’ve made so far.

  • March: Hearty White Bean Soup

  • April: Salmon + Corn Chowder

  • May: Peanut Noodles

  • June: Fish + Potato Cakes

  • July (upcoming!): One-Pot Rice with Zucchini + Chickpeas

  • August (upcoming!): Black Bean Salad

All six PDFs are below for paid subscribers and each includes not only the recipe, but lots of notes for variations, additions, etc. Enjoy!!!!
