It’s Hoboken week and I wanted to showcase some of my favorite restaurants foods, with my spin on them of course! Tony Boloney’s is a local pizza, sub and food joint with quite the amazing reputation both locally and nationally. They’re known for creating their infamous Taco pizza, among other amazing foods. They even have […]
I bought too many strawberries last week and when I realized this morning they were about to go off, I decided to bake them into muffins. I’m so glad I did! This is a basic vanilla muffin recipe with a little extract twist and a sweet strawberry surprise. They aren’t the healthiest of muffins, but they […]
Who has super brown bananas sitting on their counter right now??? ME! Here’s what to make with them. A healthy, delicious banana bread! Banana bread is such a great bread – its main ingredient, bananas, can be nearly brown and inedible on their own but then make the sweetest of breads. It’s a bit of […]
Crab cakes are the one food Trevor likes to eat out when we go to a nice fish restaurant. They’re hard to ‘get right’ at home. I’ve tried a few times and they are usually dry and tasteless. Then I realized that not all crabmeat is equal. Having a really good quality, fresh lump crabmeat […]
I’m starting this recipe post by saying YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU WANT TO EAT IT. Ok there, I said it. I kept forgetting to make this the night before and the next day, I was SOOL. Luckily I finally remembered last night, so I’ll be eating this for lunch instead […]
Amelia is just coming to the age where she understands and wants to participate in what makes holidays special. I love it because it means I get to teach her about the holidays and use food to inspire her to learn more. For Valentine’s day this year, she’s been learning what it means to make […]
I started making veggie croquettes 2.5 years ago when Amelia began eating solids. It was an easy way of getting veggies and protein into her. She was old enough to know what the veggies were (and start refusing them) but not yet old enough to realize they were hidden inside. Now that Matilda is almost […]
When I was pregnant with each of my girls, all I wanted was a turkey sandwich even though I don’t eat them very often (you’re not supposed to eat deli meat when preggers for fear of listeria infections). Apparently, you always want what you can’t have! So, I started roasting my own turkeys, freezing the […]
This morning, I made Amelia (3 years old) oatmeal and she decided once it was done that she didn’t want it anymore. So, I decided to use the leftover oatmeal to make Matilda (7 months old now) some oatmeal cups. She ate three in one sitting. Then Amelia ate three. Needless to say, they both […]
I’m trying to balance the heavy meat options of Whole30 with lots of veggies so my stomach doesn’t hate me! This is a great option for lunch or dinner that keeps me full and satisfied and not hating meal time. The salad has crunch, creaminess and a mediterranean feel to it that I absolutely love.
