Happy Friday, loves! How gorgeous is that turkey burger?!?! And that nectarine crisp is for sure a suitable breakfast without being too sweet and topped with plain yogurt. My baby starts Kindergarten on Tuesday so we have jam packed this week with beach days and park dates and visits to LA and bbq’s and shopping dates and blah I’m ready for routine. I have felt particularly mushy this week anticipating the change. Working from home has made me pine for school for years, and now that it’s here? I feel a little sad. Not bad sad, just nostalgic sad, like a sort of youth is leaving. We’re starting a Spanish immersion program for Curran and I’ve been warned that the kindergarteners are exhausted and frustrated the first few months. They have no clue what the teacher is saying half of the day, so it makes sense. I am going to leave space in our weeks for him to play and rest and transition. Space for all of us for that matter. September is my favorite month for that - all the tourists leave and the heat dissipates and I love that at least in California, we still have summer produce and cameos of fall produce too. If you find yourself on the brink of transition, I hope the dinners here can help ground you. Cooking a meal and sitting down with my family always makes me feel “home”. I told you I feel mushy!

Have a wonderful week! Don’t hesitate with questions.
