My sister, Merrick, and I were chatting the other day and talking about how we can hardly remember anything my mom ever made for dinner. I feel a little bit the same way about my cooking - I make dinner virtually every night and then I sit down to make the menu for the week and I think, "I can't remember one dinner I've ever made. What are we possibly going to eat this week?" What is that bizarre mental block? If you're the same way, here are a few recipes our family has LOVED and I'd ...

I don't feel particularly RAVENOUS from nursing, but I do feel like I'm more in love with food than ever. When my mom was here and then when friends brought meals over, I was making tons of treats since I didn't have to worry about making real food. It was glorious and also made me grateful for the crazy amount of calories I was burning via nursing. It was a struggle to not make every last item on this list a dessert, but . . . I persevered.

When I mentioned last week that I was in a cooking rut, I wasn't kidding. It's taken me four months to get together another set of recipes I've made and loved. But these recipes were worth the wait. All of them were total hits. Also, four main dishes, one bread recipe, and only one dessert? I'm like a paragon of healthy eating over here. 1. Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry: This is a long-time favorite in our house. It's so quick and easy, I always have the ingredients, and it's always ...
