Hi friends! I hope you all had a great week! For those of you doing the January Whole30 – I hope you're still going strong! You're almost at the finish line! I have been back on set shooting the last images for my 4th cookbook. It is so exciting watching it come to life.

This week's digest includes what we ate this week, a few sneak peaks into my photoshoot, and a new video of my Basil-Thyme Vinaigrette from my first book. Scroll down to see more!

Ear infection and fever but still the happiest. Can’t stand how much I love this girl.

I’ve had sooo many questions about feeding babies so I’m going to work on a blog post to answer all of them. Stay tuned! Also a tip for the slippery avocado – leave a bit of the peel on and it helps them grip it! 

Love it or hate it? I love meatloaf. Recipe is in my first book (or there’s also a good meatloaf meatball recipe in Meals Made Simple that you can bake in a loaf pan)!

Behind every perfect cookbook shot (with the perfect food, hair, and beautiful, clean kitchen), is an amazing, talented team. 8 talented women in my case!!
I’m feeling super grateful that I just wrote my 4th cookbook and that so many of you have been here with me from the start when I put out my 1st one (or even before that for some of you!). Back when I thought writing cookbooks was reserved only for the Inas and Martha’s, didn’t know how to properly write a recipe for a book, and had no idea what I was doing when I taught myself how to photograph so you could have a photo for every recipe.
Having lots of pinch me moments today that this gets to be my job, and I get to work with such inspiring women, moms, and entrepreneurs.
Thank you all for being here and helping make all of this happen! And I CAN’T wait for you all to get this one in your hands!! #aagbook4

Back at it today with the last 5 days of food shoots for my next book! There’s a bunch of easy, but hearty (and Whole30 compliant!) salads and soups, plus packed lunch recipes!
