Ask and Ye Shall Receive… I have to say, no exaggeration, this might just be the best thing I’ve ever made. Ok, except that time I made steak sandwiches on homemade everything bagels, because c’mon, fresh bread, but it’s a darn close second. The thing is, it really isn’t anything I did that made it […]

blackened mango salmon with coconut rice
A few of you were asking about the “kid friendly salmon” on my instagram post last weekend. Well my friend, this is it! Yup- a blackened salmon dish is kid friendly, not a typo, I swear, it works! This also happens to be my go-to “impress company with your mad culinary skillz” dish. Little do […]
Gluten Free BBQ Macaroni & Cheese (made with leftover chicken wings!)
Did you do anything fun last night for the Superbowl? I can’t remember the last time we spent it with friends, Superbowl had become a lot like New Year’s Eve…it was just way more enticing to stay home with the kids & relax. Not this year however, well, we did stay home but we had […]
Easy Thanksgiving Side:: Roasted Sweet Potatoes with a Sage Brown Butter Glaze
We spend Thanksgiving with P’s family & one of the day of traditions I love is that everyone has their signature dish that they contribute. Courtney makes her amazing creamed onions, Jill makes the most beautiful roasted veggies, the men take great man pride in frying the turkeys. Yes, there are three of them. Turkeys […]

It’s been raining for 4 days. FOUR. This was pretty much exactly how we all felt…wonky eye & all.One good thing that’s come of this weather, besides getting to know eachother realllllly well, is this new recipe.

had a bad day brussel sprout, onion & bacon mac cheese
Does this ever happen to you? You read or see a recipe that just somehow connects to you on a spiritual gastroenterological level & for days YOU CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. That happened to me, our sitter Amy was telling me how she had whipped up a macaroni & cheese dish with brussel sprouts […]
recipe review: Artichoke & Tomato Pasta
If you’re anything like me when you get a new magazine you dog-ear pages with recipes or projects that look good. In fact when I’m done my magazine won’t even lay flat because of all the folds I’ve made. How often I actually ever go back & try one of those articles is a completely […]
Cheater’s Crock Pot Chicken & Dumplings
I used How Sweet It Is’ recipe for the crock pot base but as much I desperately wanted to make biscuits from scratch it just wasn’t.gonna.happen. And you know what, I’m sure there’s something to be said for making them yourself but the can-o-biscuit-dough was pretty darn good if I say so & yes, I […]
15 minute tortellini soup
I was at a playdate with my girlfriends the other day & we were talking about how we all get sucked in to making ‘kid food’ at dinner. It’s such a slippery slope, make chicken nuggets or mac n cheese for your kids because they won’t eat what the adults are having & beware, you […]
