Last January Garrett and I headed down to the central coast and spent a long weekend looking at a lot of this:
This coming weekend we are headed down again to celebrate one of my besties’ 30th birthday and her recent engagement! I’m hoping the weather will give us a repeat performance.
What does this mean to you? Well, it means my menu post is a little bit light. But here is what we are eating all the same:
Monday
Lunch: Taco Salad (I know, same old! But it’s easy AND delicious.)
Dinner: Slow Cooker Coconut Ginger Chicken over Cauli Rice
Tuesday
Lunch: Chile Rellenos Casserole (I’m making this ahead of time)
Dinner: Chicken with Pepperoni Marinara + Garlic Sauteed Zucchini + Salad
Wednesday
Lunch: Sonoma Chicken Salad in Lettuce Cups (or leftovers for Garrett since he hates Chicken Salad like a crazy person.)
Dinner: Spinach Stuffed Turkey Burgers (a riff on this recipe) + Kale Chips + Salad
Thursday
Lunch: Leftover Spinach Burgers + Veggie Mustgo
Dinner: Cajun Turkey Chili (This recipe is my own. If it’s good, I will post it.)
Friday through Sunday
PEACE OUT SACRAMENTO!

I love nothing more than leaving the Central Valley to head to the coast! No matter what time of year, the ocean recharges my body & soul!

Gorgeous photos!
I hope the weather cooperates!

Ah the beach. I miss it so much! It’s probably the thing I miss the most about CA.

Experimenting with almond flour this week…can you substitute with it in pretty much any recipe, like that yummy looking chile rellenos casserole? Or is it more for baking and stuff?
M – BBQ steak + artichokes
T – chicken sausages + hashed Brussels sprouts
W – totally stealing the chile rellenos casserole, thank you!
R – tofu stirfry, maybe duck instead if we have some to spare
F – Erin + Nick’s wedding reception

Yes, what say you about the flour in that casserole?
