The No-Cook Holiday Party {with fresh market}

December 4, 2019 By funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

Super easy no-cooking holiday entertaining is here! This post is in partnership with The Fresh Market, opinions and ideas for hosting are mine.

I recently heard someone say on Instagram, “I’m opting out of everything this holiday season,” and, 1. I get it, 2. it made me a little bit sad.

Sad because our culture has gotten to the point that things are SO bonkers that we can’t do anything at all. I get it, but I also still crave holiday fun: parties, handheld stuff, bubbly things to drink, all of it. Our kitchen is in zero position to be crafting anything fancy at the moment (we’re moving, it’s a lot), but that doesn’t stop my regular “tis the season” desires.

Meal Prep Quiche

December 3, 2019 By funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

Hello and welcome to the middle weeks!

There is still school. There are still chores. We’re still working. But we’re in the MOOD for holiday stuff, right? It’s busier, there are more activities, more opportunities to not keep up the great habits we’ve spent all year building. Meal prep quiche is here to save us from takeout temptation.

This is another version of my absolute favorite quiche that I shared several weeks ago – the Kale Roasted Red Pepper Quiche that dreams are made of. Here, we have options because we need our quiche to be exactly how we want it every single time. Meal prep quiche is the best kind of quiche, basically.

Instagram post 2192958869323219918_185141860 I feel like sometimes around this time of year (the mid-holiday weeks), we can get into a teensy bit of a competition with ourselves over how miserably happy yet busy we are.⁠
⁠
"LOVE THE SEASON but omg so much to do, you know how it goes!"⁠
⁠
~the parties⁠
~the clothes⁠
~the school functions⁠
~the concerts⁠
~the presents⁠
⁠
...all with their own rules, things to contribute, clean, care for, buy for.⁠
⁠
I want to do it all, really I do. But I cannot cook for it all because I love cooking so much and if I cook for every single holiday event I start to hate it. So this year I'm partnering with The Fresh Market to show you some simple ways to OPT OUT of cooking every single thing, put your own twist on entertaining, and stay out of the kitchen.⁠
⁠
Bubbly out of Solo cups is still bubbly, that kind of holiday enjoyment.⁠
⁠
What are you doing to make this season EASILY ENJOYABLE for yourself?⁠

Instagram post 2192239763410154172_185141860 There is a meal prep quiche situation on my blog right now!⁠
⁠
The quiche is my absolute favorite, made with Swamp Rabbit crust, five simple ingredients, and TONS of ideas for you to choose your own adventure with fillings and flavors!⁠
⁠
You can double your meal prep game by using leftover veggies or random deli meat/cheeses for a no-waste moment, never a bad thing.⁠
⁠
This summer I made this quiche with some caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, and fontina and the result was quiche tomato pie love child and just WOW.⁠
⁠
What kind of quiche do you love? It's getting added to my weekly rotation this winter.⁠

Instagram post 2191502256338928426_185141860 Growing up going to church, these weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas were always depicted as gentle quiet waiting for beauty and light to magically appear and save the world.

Honestly, I never got it. I saw it as an aspirational thing that other people managed, this idea of waiting PEACEFULLY rather than riddled with anxiety and worry.

Pregnancy is really hard for some people in this way: too many unknowns, too many questions, too many wait-and-sees.

And, no offense to the story of the virgin birth. I would LOVE to have an all-encompassing peace that passes understanding when I'm waiting on hard things to materialize.

Instead, I have worst-case scenarios, will it work out, will it get approved, will there be enough, what have I not even THOUGHT of to worry about, I should worry about not worrying enough.

Mostly everything works out, one way or the other. Or time passes and plans change, adjustments are made.

Here are some things that help me (and lots of people) when anxiety about anxiety for the sake of anxiety strikes: ~tasks. big things, little things, any thing that can take time, use energy, and check things off a list.
~exercise. movement has been shown again and again to aid in a mood shift. it doesn't have to be sexy or super hard (although hard stuff helps me), but moving your body is helpful.
~get to the worst-case end of the thought, then move on. so there's not enough money, an unplanned diagnosis, pregnancy complication. if the worst-case of the thought in that moment came true, how would you handle it? it's ok to think all the way to the end and realize that most worst-case things have some kind of solution when we are actually faced with them.

Mainly, though, time will pass and things will shake out for better or for worse. The waiting can be hard, and it's OK that it's hard. It's hard for me too.

Instagram post 2190812696781255821_185141860 I LOVE a gift of food + kitchen item, especially this time of year! It goes like this: buy a nice casserole dish (my favorite is this Le Creuset, watch for a sale!), make something delicious in it like chicken spaghetti, give it as a gift.⁠
⁠
Perfect for!⁠
🎁 Christmas/Winter Holidays (especially nice if you're staying with the person)⁠
🎁 Baby Shower Gift (something for mama!)⁠
🎁 Housewarming⁠
🎁 Literally anything because no one hates this dish or meal.⁠
⁠
What are your all-the-time go-to gifts?⁠

Instagram post 2190068781434071157_185141860 Really feeling dinners this week that involve mostly raw stuff and cooking ONE thing.⁠
⁠
It's a lot, this time of year. And our instincts can tell us to ditch all of our good habits - good sleep, exercise, cooking, whatever we've worked on a lot this year can fly out the window in these holiday weeks.⁠
⁠
Instead, we need to dig in harder. Extra focus on things that keep us happy, healthy, calm, WELL. So that we can enjoy the holidays as something that is a great part of the year, not something to be conquered and followed by some kind of guilty reset January. Blegh.⁠
⁠
No guilt, just pressing onward with good habits NOW. It's v boring and not particularly sexy or cure-all or magic, but it works.⁠
⁠
Thai marinated steak bites with chopped up raw stuff could be your dinner tonight! It's quick, easy, and full of goodness.⁠

Instagram post 2189347712385608083_185141860 Please tell me that you made enough time for some self care this weekend.⁠
⁠
Some nothing time.⁠
Some brain off time.⁠
Some alone time.⁠
⁠
We did, and it was the BEST. For once, we didn't have every minute planned, and we had a super solid mix of packing (because clearly Thanksgiving is the time to move), exercise, family time, and effing lounging in front of the TV.⁠
⁠
(@lindsey_paoli will be happy to know that I took my first spin class, and it was a LOT.⁠)
⁠
If you haven't gotten your nothing time in, use this moment to plan some. Hopefully today, if not, 100% this week. Plan for yourself the same way you plan for every other thing in your life. Self care sometimes has to feel like a task to get it done, and that's fine.⁠
⁠
Your therapist (and Will) said so!⁠

Instagram post 2188628016375825563_185141860 In case you need, just, like, FOOD tonight, a big snuggle with mushroom beef stroganoff never hurt anyone.⁠
⁠
A few things:⁠
🍄this version uses ground beef for quicker cooking time⁠
🍄finely chop your mushrooms to get around the texture-phobes in your life⁠
🍄dill is involved - dried works great⁠
🍄I like uggs to be part of my wardrobe for this meal, but you do you⁠
⁠
For a non-Thanksgiving moment in time, for a weekend meal, for a cozy weeknight dinner. It all works! This is GOOD. Linked in my profile for you!⁠
