Happy Monday, Fam!

Hope you are feeling okay-ish, powered by caffeine, and mentally prepared to face whatever this new week decides to throw at us.

How was your weekend?
Maybe you were saying goodbye to a loved one, celebrating a wedding, spending time with friends and family, serving God, or just resting and taking things slow.

No matter how your weekend went—happy, sad, or calm—food has a way of bringing comfort and being there for us.

Today’s menu is keeping things easy, gentle, and stress-free—because it’s Monday, and honestly, that alone is reason enough. Between emails, physical work, and life doing the most, cooking something complicated is simply not the vibe.

That’s why today’s star is our Lemon-Garlic Veggie & Egg Fold.
Quick to make, super tasty, and here to save the day—and your hungry tummy.

So before my remaining energy completely disappears, let me show you how to put this delicious little lifesaver together.
