The Meal Plan + What I Wore
Share

I’ll keep this short because it’s a photo heavy one. If you read last week’s Sunday letter, I hope you saved some of the recipes in your browser because O told me “every single meal this week was fire.” Again, O and my kids aren’t hard to please, but the endless praise is an especially good sign. If you’re still stumped on what to grab for groceries this week, start there.

I’m about to start my cycle so my body felt bloated and groggy making getting dressed particularly challenging. We got there in the end, though I can’t say the outfits are particularly inspiring. Some weeks are just like that, you know?


In this letter:

+ the recipe for these adorable Homemade Paleo Butterfingers
+ this week’s Meal Plan
+ Photos from last week’s Meal Plan
+ the absolute best Paleo Apple Pie recipe with a foolproof homemade crust
+ the outfit getting me thorough an 88 degree October

Free subscribers, this coming Friday and Sunday’s letters will be free to all subscribers as they are the first weekend of every month. If you’re not ready to become a paid subscriber, I’ll see you then!

free people tee

I’ve shared my obsession with this tee many times but I was thrilled to finally see it back in stock. The sleeve length is a dream for me right now since showing off my arms isn’t quite at the top of my wishlist and it’s the perfect cropped length despite multiple washes. She’s a gem.

storq knit. tank top.

I wore this to meet a couple girlfriends for dinner midweek. It was warm outside and freezing inside which made this mama + baby knit (basically a glorified blanket) the ideal choice. Zero eye makeup with extra blush and skipping the contacts has been the go-to for me lately, mostly because I ran out of tinted moisturizer this week and I don’t like how long it takes me to take mascara off. Also, though, because it feels so free to be able to finish my makeup in three minutes.
