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 […]

Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup
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 […]
Pan Seared Salmon
I’m wrapping up Hoboken week with my favorite place to buy fish from – Tutta Pesca. They sell fish in their downstairs retail space and you can enjoy it cooked for you upstairs in their amazing restaurant. While they have so many dishes I love, my favorite is their simple, yet complex flavored pan-seared salmon. […]
Eggplant Bolognese
As we come to the back half of the week, I knew I was going to want something a little more hardy (I checked the weather when I was making my meal plan and saw how frigid it was going to be today). I love a good bowl of comfort food to warm me up, […]
Chicken Tikka Masala
I have two favorite restaurants in town – one of them is Karma Kafe (I’ll share the other one later this week). It’s an Indian bistro that everyone in this town loves! Not only is the food amazing, but the service is bar none the best in town. It’s always packed, which says a lot about […]
Churrasco Steak with Chimichurri
There’s an amazing restaurant in town called The Cuban that showcases Latin food in an innovative and exciting way. They make this dish called the Churrasco which (I kid you not) is absolutely amazing! They handle their flavors in such a way that it makes every single bite burst in your mouth. This steak in particular […]
Puebla Salad
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 […]
Amelia’s Tie-Dye Unicorn Cake
Every year, Trevor and I make Amelia’s birthday cake. For her first birthday, we made a teapot (that was so hard!!). For her second birthday, we made a bear cake. It was cute, but messy and she loved it. Today is Amelia’s 3rd birthday and she wanted a rainbow unicorn cake. So, we set out […]
