This week was bittersweet.
Christmas spirit is in full swing. I was enjoying Christmas music on my commute to work and Christmas lights on my drive home.
We had a couple weeks of cool weather here in San Diego and I could actually wear a sweater.
And then those dang Santa Ana winds came around and decided to create perfect fire weather.
Fires have always been a part of my life. Anyone who grows up in Southern California knows a thing or two about fires and fire weather.
And this week we saw some devastating fires from my hometown to my current home in San Diego. Luckily myself and my family are far enough away from the fires that we are safe, but my thoughts have been with everyone who wasn't so lucky. Just another reminder to give thanks for being safe, happy and healthy.
And while we keep those sentiments in mind, we turn to this week's dinner plan which will keep all of our bodies and minds healthy.

Rene, I cannot tell you how excited I was to find your blog. Everything looks so delicious and like something even I could make! I have meal prepped in the past but ate the same foods over and over because it was easy... my toddler did not appreciate that, so I am looking forward to putting these meal plans in place. So excited to get your next one - thanks again!
Rene
