Sharing what our busy family of four loves to eat!
We eat a ton of hummus in our house… a TON! And it’s great because it’s so healthy and versatile. It can be used as a dip, a spread, or even mixed into muffins (yes, really! I’ll share my recipe for it soon). I think Im going to put this on my sandwich or on …
Summertime means lots of fresh melons and berries which are sweetened naturally by the sun this time of year. There’s nothing like a quick summer salad for lunch when you don’t want to be wasting time cooking in the kitchen. This salad is easy to make, refreshing and light. The ricotta and honey add another …
Here’s another idea for a quick, non-mayonnaise based summer salad! Coconut milk acts like the mayonnaise in this Thai inspired slaw and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s crunchy and refreshing and filled with good for you foods. We ate this alongside my Beer Can Chicken recipe, but any protein would be great with this!
Spicy, quick dinner alert! These tacos will light up your mouth in the best possible way and faster than you can order delivery. I’ve been itching for a spicy dinner the past few days and was really looking forward to making these tacos. They come together in 20 minutes and are super satisfying. It was …
For Mother’s Day today, Trevor made them for me and the girls and Amelia thought they were the most fun breakfast. Egg cups are great because they are the easiest breakfast to make when you are short on time. All you do is drop the egg in the boiling water and let the water cook the …
Amelia’s in an amazing phase right now of always wanting to read. So during breakfast every morning, we read a book together or her Highlights magazine (not sponsored, just awesome). We’ve even been known to read every magazine from the past 6 months…! She’s a huge fan of them (as am I since I grew up …
Charoset is a combination of fruit and nuts made into a roughly chopped paste and is typically eaten on Passover. It’s a symbolic food – in color and texture – meant to remember the mortar the Israelites used when they were enslaved in Ancient Egypt. There are many ways of making charoset, including my families version. In our family recipe book, …
Like many other kids, Rice Krispies treats were a really special treat in my house growing up. You could make them into orange pumpkins for Halloween, red hearts for Valentine’s Day or as stuffed Easter eggs like I made here. They’re super easy to make (that is, once you learn the trick of spraying your …
Prime season to enjoy asparagus is Springtime, which is why it’s seen on so many Easter & Passover tables. It’s super easy to make and the flowering plant adds a much needed color to meat and carb heavy celebrations. I’ve made asparagus many, many, many different ways, but this is still one of my favorite …
Every Friday when the weekend is nearly here, I’m usually cooked out from making every meal all week long. So, I try to make a quick soup or a fast dinner. Today, everyone wants burgers for dinner instead of my flatbread, but since I already prepped it, I decided to just make it for myself. …
Here’s the last recipe of the week featuring Trader Joe’s only ingredients! It’s been a fun and super easy cooking week, something I’ve really looked forward to given the clocks changed and we’ve all been so tired. And since I love making soup on Friday’s, we’re ending the week with a super creamy, almost decadent …
I always find Thursday’s to be the hardest night of the week to cook. It’s the night I generally want take out because I’m exhausted from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I’m desperate for the weekend. So when I meal plan on the weekends, I generally pick something easy to make on Thursday’s since I …
When I was a kid, we had pizza every Wednesday night. It was also the night my dad drank a beer (which at the time I thought was absolutely repulsive – I know better now ;)). It was always a cheese pizza and I absolutely loved it. Growing up in NY, good pizza surrounded …
Come winter, all I want is comfort food. Shepard’s pies, casseroles and chicken pot pie. They usually take a long time to make, which is great because it’s cold out and I want to have my oven on. But sometimes, I don’t want the fuss of making two pastries and a roux and then cooking …
Last Christmas, I was in England with my in-laws and my FIL bought me Jamie Oliver’s 5-Ingredients cookbook. I think his recipes are amazing and own many of his cookbooks, so I was so excited to have his newest one. Every recipe is only 5 ingredients (*with the exception of oil, salt & pepper, which …
