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 […]
Let me start today’s post by saying I’m not a big fan of seafood. And, on top of it, Trevor really doesn’t like seafood at all. So now that that’s out of the way, I bet you’re wondering why on Earth I would make a perfectly good quiche and stick crab in it knowing full […]
Springtime weather can be so unpredictable – some days it’s freezing cold and raining and other days it’s hot and sunny. We just had many days of cold rainy weather and while the sun is finally out, I still feel like I’m defrosting and drying off. You probably already know how much love I have […]
There’s a restaurant in town that Trevor and I absolutely love (and are frequent patrons of) – it’s called Court Street. It’s steps off the main drag in Hoboken and from the outside, you wouldn’t think it’s anything special. But if you come and visit and don’t eat at Court Street, you will be missing […]
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 […]
I’ve had a few decadent meals in the past week, so I wanted to lighten dinner up a bit tonight with a (gluten-free) healthy dinner. It’s very filling and satisfying, but not in a way that will weigh you down. Even though salads can be tricky for kids, I tend to deconstruct it and give […]
Trevor works with a sweet girl named Laurie and one day, she asked Trevor for a suggestion for an Easter Brunch casserole or quiche. Well, I knew it had to be decadent and had just the recipe for her! It has cheese, bacon and croissants – it’s super decadent and absolutely perfect for any Sunday […]
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 […]
What animals love carrots (it’s not a trick question!)? Bunnies, of course! So what better time to serve carrots than at Easter time when there are tons of bunnies around. I bet your little bunnies would love to eat these carrots. Mine sure did (Amelia at least since Matilda still can’t eat honey before age […]
For most of my life, I thought I was allergic to coconut after I had a very scary experience with it when I was young. As it turns out, I’m not! But when I thought I was allergic to it, I developed a strong aversion to the smell most likely as a way to tell […]
