Meatball Soup

The time has come. Time for my first cooking video! I’ve been into making staff spotlight videos for work lately and I thought I’d go ahead and try a cooking video with the kids. All in all, it was fun and I think it turned out great! It’s not taken from the point of view […]

Caprese Salad To Go

Caprese Salad To Go       It’s tomato season! There’s something about a fresh, juicy tomato straight from the garden that just says summer. Not knowing it at the time, I got spoiled as a kid because we had a plethora of tomatoes, bursting with flavor, from our garden every summer. As a grown […]

Game-Day Chili

No matter who you’re rooting for, chili is a classic go-to for the big game. I know that’s what we’re having at our house! You can make a big pot to feed a crowd, and it’s totally low maintenance. Once you make it, just leave it on the stove or even in a crock pot […]

Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month!

I’m ashamed of myself. April is National Grilled Cheese month, surely cause for celebration for anyone who calls herself a cheese lover like me, and yet here it is April 27th and I’ve posted exactly zero recipes about grilled cheese. The first year I was blogging, I found out about National Grilled Cheese month too late, at the […]

Tomato Soup with Pesto Grilled Cheese Croutons

Happy 2013!  I’d love to give some beautiful philosophical  discourse, ticking off all of the memorable events of 2012 and wishing everyone all the happiness and success they desire in 2013, but I’m just not good at that stuff.  I’ll just say that though 2012 had its ups and downs, all in all we feel […]
