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 […]
This year, Cinco de Mayo falls on a Sunday. What better way to celebrate than with super easy sheet pan nachos! They’re easy to feed a crowd and require very little work. You can also use any toppings you like – I used a mix of veg, herbs and yogurt. I bet even avocado and […]
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, […]
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 […]
I have to admit, even though I live in an area where you can get Italian food on almost any corner of the city, I’m still not the biggest fan of it. I am, however, a fan of layered pastas, like lasagna or ravioli. So I thought, what’s a fun way of making lasagna for […]
When the weather warms up, I love making fresh everything! I love fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and fresh made mozzarella. Those three loves make the best caprese! And if you top it with olive oil or balsamic vinegar, well, that’s just the icing on the cake. Here, I’m lightening it up using zoodles instead of […]
Peas in the Spring are sweet little balls of nature’s candy. They burst in your mouth with every bite and are only enhanced with a squeeze of lemon and some fresh parmesan mixed in. I love to eat these peas with my Lemony Salmon, but they would also taste great with chicken, pork chops or […]
Back in November, I shared a great how-to on how to make a cheese board. It was so popular, that I decided to make another one, but with fruit and veggies this time. Since we eat with out eyes first, I wanted this board to scream Springtime, so I decided a rainbow of colors would […]
I read cooking blogs, cookbooks and recipes every single day. I love seeing how people combine different foods and flavors to make everyday or unique dishes. So when I was looking at delish.com the other day, I saw this cherry based salad and thought it would be really great to make for Easter or Passover, […]
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 […]
