February Week 4 Meal Plan : Fierce Energy of Now!

HEARTY + CHARMING | Ribolita translates from the Italian to “reboiled” as this soup was typically made by reboiling leftover beans and vegetables and thickening it with bits of stale bread.
ESSENTIAL | This recipe is the basic vinaigrette you’ll want to have on repeat for every simple green salad you make. It’s simple, easy and foolproof. A true @ricardocuisine classic since 2004!
SEASONS CHANGE | After a 7 week hiatus it felt wonderful to be back to the Farmers Market and witness how we transitioned from spring to summer. Less citruses, no more kiwis and so much more berries, cherries and stone fruits! Gorgeous!
SHAPE IS EVERYTHING | That is one of my many learnings while cooking through @coluhenry Back Pocket Pasta!
LET’S HAVE A PICNIC | There is no doubt you’ll be the star of your next summer potluck if you bring this Marinated Mozzarella, Olives and Cherry Tomatoes Salad!
COMFORT + RESTORATION | I have been cooking a ton since we got back from Europe with a focus on healthy veggie forward dishes like these Herbed Turkey and Spinach Meatballs by @david_tanis from @nytcooking
