Welcome to the blog!
I have a love/hate relationship with making dinner. I love to cook and create recipes, but there are just some nights when I really don’t feel like making anything! That is why I love recipes that allow me to either make them head of time, or that make really great leftovers.
Read MoreFiguring out what to bring to my son’s school has been a bit difficult due to allergies. It is amazing how many children have allergies nowadays. When I was growing up, I remember very few people being allergic to peanuts, but that was about it. In my son’s school there are gluten allergies, peanut allergies, egg allergies, and who knows what else.
Read MorePasta has to be one of my all time favorite things to eat! I know, being an Italian girl, that it is in my blood, but I think any person who loves food, loves pasta. With the whole “low carb” craze that hit America, people look at pasta like it is the devil.
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again! Pumpkin spice everything! I mean, who doesn’t love pumpkin?
I love when pumpkin is in season. You can find really great pumpkin puree in the store, but I also like to make my own at home. It tastes fresher than the canned pumpkin, plus you can get a lot more bang for your buck when you make it yourself. I also like roasting the pumpkin seeds and eating them as a snack.

Read MoreHappy Monday!! I know everyone is always looking for some meatless Monday inspiration, so I wanted to share a recipe that is extremely easy, very fast, and a great way to eat a bunch of veggies! This veggie taco recipe is my ultimate “go to” recipe, just in life.
Read MorePretty sure bacon makes everything better!
I recently made Salmon with Peach and Cucumber Salsa, which is a super easy, and healthy, dinner. After taking the pictures for this site, I had some extra salmon to use. So, I started looking around for another way to use up the salmon and salsa combination that I am currently obsessed with.
Read MoreWhen I think of a summer meal, I want something that is bright and refreshing! Enter cucumbers and peaches! Two summery foods that are rarely put together.
Read MoreI know I always brag about how good I am about eating my veggies, and that I have my same salad every day for lunch….well…I hit a wall. I think I have been having mommy meltdowns lately, and I just don’t feel like eating salad for lunch!
