Sharing what our busy family of four loves to eat!
Salmon is one of those summer easy super foods that cooks quickly and is very healthy! It’s such a great weeknight food to make. You can use it for lunch or dinner and you always feel full and happy after eating it. I always try to make salmon in different ways (these are all the …
Happy Valentine’s Day! How was your day? Was it filled with candy and flowers? Friends and drinks? Curled up with a good book under a blanket? However you spent your day, I hope you felt loved. My day was filled with surprises for my girls. In our family, our love language is food, so we …
It’s almost the Super Bowl, which means time to make my annual wings! I am a wing and a Super Bowl commercial kinda girl. Not so much into the game…. but how about you? Are you a commercial or game person? Either way, I’m making my wings for everyone to nibble on. We have some …
The holiday’s are here and I am in love with all the happiness, the gatherings and the food! Candles are burning, the oven is going and I am cooking cooking cooking away! My parents are visiting this week and I’m making my Dad’s favorite steakhouse dinner tonight. Steak, green beans and these stuffed mushrooms. Now, …
How is bbq season coming to an end? Well, yes, I know we’re in Florida and we can bbq most of the year but I tend to eat with the seasons. So we don’t grill as much in the Fall. Ahh, I already miss you summer! While I’m trying to keep the summer taste-buds flowing, …
Oh summer, I love you and your abundance of fresh tomatoes! Small ones, big ones, multicolored ones – I love them all! There really is nothing better than a fresh, juicy tomato. When I eat tomatoes, I usually just pop them like candy. I could eat a box in a day. But every now and …
For about 15 years, I was a vegetarian. I ate some beans here and there, ate a little bit of tofu, but generally, I ate a lot of carbs, veggies and fruit. I didn’t really get how to be a healthy vegetarian. When I started eating meat again, I felt an energy surge through me. …
It’s been 2 years (YEARS!) since I’ve eaten red meat. That’s a long time. That said, I haven’t had the most consistent path with red meat…. I didn’t love it growing up and in fact, I didn’t eat it from ages 15-27. My mom used to make me eat meatloaf and I would literally gag …
Rotisserie Chicken… what’s better than a rotisserie chicken? It’s an easy weeknight dinner you can pick up from the supermarket and can be used in tons of different ways – chopped up on a pizza, in a taco, in a chicken pot pie, served next to side dishes… it’s so versatile! While I love a …
How do you usually make asparagus? I typically roast asparagus because I love the crunch and the sweetness it brings out when you roast them. I drizzle them with balsamic, like in my Roasted Balsamic Asparagus, or top them with more savory flavors, like in my Roasted Garlic Parmesan Asparagus. Either way, I’ve been making …
I recently took some time off all social media sites and it was amazing! It gave me time to think of new food combinations and recipes and try them out. I wasn’t worried about posting, messaging, responding, or anything. Just enjoying the pure love of food. If you haven’t taken time away from social media …
Happy New Year! It’s that time of the year where the holidays are now over and I’m trying to clean out the fridge from holiday food to balance it with some healthier options. Anyone else tired of holiday food?! Samesies! Ok, back tot he recipe – so last night, I made these AMAZING Lobster Tails. …
Delicata squash. The creame de la creme of squashes! It tastes like a squash married a sweet potato. Funny, I know, but so so good! It’s soft, too, but not too soft. You can even eat the rind! Its beautiful fall colors compliment any dinner plate. And it’s beyond easy to make. Just slice, season …
Last week, we didn’t go through our bananas as fast as I thought we would, so we had a ton of brown bananas left over. Now I know you’re going to say, make banana bread or freeze them. Yes, yes, I know. But we have so many banana muffins and a bag full of bananas …
Half sours are my favorite pickles! They’re just a little bit briny and not strong like a dill pickle you’d get in a restaurant or from the supermarket. They have the perfect crunch, the perfect spice and they’re the perfect size! When I was a kid, we always went to the pickle man who kept …
If you’ve never heard of Hasselback potatoes before, you’ve probably seen them and not realized they had a name. It’s a potato that has lots of small slices (like a fan) with filling or toppings stuck in between the slices. They look like this. Now you know what I’m talking about, right?! They are delicious …
Easy dinner for one tonight! The fam was eating meaty leftovers, which I don’t really eat anymore. So I whipped myself up this easy peasy salad. It’s loaded with veggies and topped with a quickly sautéed shrimp. It’s so easy and so delicious. Think of this salad as a blank canvas – you can use …
Last nights dinner was easy, like really really easy. So I knew I had to share it with you! It’s the kind that comes together in less than 5 minutes and then cooks up quickly in the oven which makes it the perfect weeknight meal. It can be served with anything you have in the …
It’s summer summer summertime! Which means lots of bbq’ing, fresh fruits and bright flavors. I’m such a fan of incorporating sweet fruits with savory meats. It really makes everything shine just a little bit more! Pineapple and bbq chicken are definitely a dream combination and one of my favorites! The chicken is both sweet and …
