Greenery.

Today was an even more beautiful day than yesterday; what a tonic those first few nice days are! Heck, ALL nice days are a Good Thing.

Let's think about food this week. Part of doing menus, even when I don't stick to it, is that it helps us to eat at home rather than out. Oddly enough, with the myriad carry out options around us, we have been eating out a lot less than when we lived in San Jose. I think it's because we wouldn't drive just to get dinner {too much traffic here} and it's been either too hot, too cold, or too tiring {we're weak} to venture out the half mile or so to get food. But we've started to dabble in delivery {every place does it; amazing!} so it's especially valuable for me to plan out these meals.

Sunday: tuna melts and roasted bell peppers.
Monday: curry simmer sauce with tofu, bell peppers, and zucchini, along with rice.
Tuesday: pasta with pesto and a bit of a salad.
Wednesday: steamed green beans and sunchoke soup; I've had these guys languishing around for a while and this soup needs to happen.
Thursday: left over soup and salad.
Friday: black beans and rice with a salad.
Saturday: frozen pizzas {they're much fancier than they sound} from TJ's and a veggie.

Also, last night at Trader Joe's I picked up this gardenia, adding to our apartment garden.
Gardenias are a love language of mine and I'm so glad to have this addition to our home; that blossom up there just happened this afternoon and there are many more little buds waiting to open up - amazing!
I need to get a  decent looking pot to put this guy into since that plasticky stuff just isn't sustainable as far as how I try to decorate our home.
Have a great week y'all!
xoxo, natty ♥
