After much research (err…2 seconds of Googling), it’s confirmed: this cilantro sauciness oozing over grass-fed steak is in fact ON a skewer, but this “dish” is actually a steak KEBAB. You’re welcome. You are now appropriately informed enough to kick off grilling season! Seriously, where the heck did May go? Oh, that’s right it was washed away by all that rain in Texas. Anywho, onto sunnier times and Memorial Day weekend! Because it’s the official kick-off of grilling season, I’m sharing some of my favorite grilling recipes with my favorite people: YOU. Read on for all the kebabs and dips your taste buds desire.

Cooking as Meditation
Cooking > Meditation. Especially when it’s a PEANUT SATAY that sets you up for a week of stress-less meals. Because when the point of meditation is to free the mind and live in the present….that’s cooking. At least in my book. So ya know what? No longer am I going to try to “practice” meditation when….maybe it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for other ways to find mindfulness, read on for a few thoughts…and a recipe for a ZOODLE PAD THAI that will keep your mind off meal prep all week long.
