a 30-minute sheet pan meal for fall

& rounding up my top puppy essentials + the dogs' fave recipe 🐶

Another Sunday, another meal prep day! If you’re still wondering what you can make today, how about a super simple 30-minute sheet pan meal? My harvest sheet pan gnocchi with crispy kale is a true dump and bake recipe—toss everything onto your sheet pan, bake for less than 30 minutes, and you have lunches or dinner prepped. It’s cozy and comforting but still nourishing and veggie packed!

I also hosted my first cooking live on Substack last week! In case you missed it, here’s a replay & keep an eye out for my next live date, I can’t wait to keep cooking together💕

my dog-owner essentials

Over the last few weeks with Cashew, I’ve been leaning on all of the dog toys, treats, games, and other distractions to keep her and Copley busy 😂 I really don’t keep a ton of dog stuff around my apartment but I want to share what I do have and love!

Wild one toy set

They have the cutest leashes & harnesses (the colors are the best) but Cash and Copley LOVE their toys from here. Cashew is in her ✨teething era✨ and this chew toy set is perfect for her. It’s minimizing the amount of bites on me as much as possible..

Max Bone sling carrier

I originally bought this sling to carry Copley when she gets tired of walking and I can’t believe how much she loved it. Now I’ve been using it for Cashew too and I always get compliments on it. She falls right asleep in there so it must be comfy.

Lesure car seat & blanket

The best patterns, colors, and textures for all the comfy cozy dog essentials!! (ngl I wouldn’t mind some of it in people size). We have this car dog bed (which Copley loves at home too, not just in the car) and this green blanket that is one of my most requested items! Now Cashew fits right in there too. One other thing we have and love—this travel carrying case—is on sale right now!

BedSure

One thing about me is that I cannot resist an aesthetic dog bed or blanket 😂. This dog bed from BedSure looks like it could be a fuzzy ottoman, but it’s actually a super comfy dog bed! Perfect for my small dog people and aesthetically pleasing. This ramp is also a commonly requested link that fits into the apartment look!

Harnesses, Collars, & Leashes

Copley and Cashew’s OOTD every day = these affordable Voyager harnesses, this white collar and this green collar, these adorable dog tags with their names on them, and their leashes: peaches and flowers. If you ask me, they look pretty cute!! In the winter you’ll see them rocking their puffers or fuzzy jumpsuits.

Earth rated

Any dog owner knows this one is not glamorous or cute, but it’s a must have—💩 bags. We’ve used these from Earth rated from the beginning, and they’re the best. The material is thicker, which we love for quick and easy clean ups. Going to need to stock up on these now 😆 and these are the cute dispensers we have.

More on my Amazon dog essentials list too! Including the fillable kong 🤞
