Most days, I look in the mirror and don’t even recognize this person I have become. I look at the old me and the person I am now and feel like they are 2 separate yet equally important parts of me. That old version showed me what I didn’t want […]

Sweet Brussels Sprout Bacon Bake
Not going to lie….This sounds hideous (this coming from my cousin who I love for telling it like it is), even for a non picky eater which I can claim to be these days! 😉 But something about it is just darn good! What is it about this that makes […]
Getting Your Kids (And Yourself) to Eat More Vegetables!
I look in to those bright beautiful blue eyes and I want nothing more than for this perfect child to grow up healthy, strong and with more opportunities than I could have ever dreamed of. I want him to have a life of carefree nights filled with laughter and all […]
Want to have fun while making lunch?
This “game” is the classic parent trick of “I’ll slice the pie you can pick the slice!”  The kids love the autonomy and you love watching them make great choices. There’s a sample, and then a blank so you can choose things you have in the refrigerator. You can also […]
Sesame Chicken

36 Hour Apple Butter

Japanese Fried Rice
My step dad is Japanese. His mom is from Okinawa, she is the sweetest woman in the world. She stands 4’2 but her smile brightens a room! When they came into our family they also brought a whole new world of foods with them. This is one of the easier […]
Butternut Squash Fries
Butternut squash is amazing. It is sooooo tasty and has endless uses! Here is one of the many ways I love to use it! Great and easy holiday add-on.
No Churn Grapefruit Gelato
I had never seen a green grapefruit! (If you read my blog posts, that probably doesn’t surprise you). But what may surprise you is that my husband who is a daily grapefruit eater, hasn’t either! So I do what I normally do when I don’t know how to use something. […]
