Sundays are my favorite day to prep food for the week. I usually hard boil eggs, cook brown rice, roast veggies, and make a few meals that reheat well. I recently had a friend of mine tell me how she makes chicken in a crock-pot and then uses it to make a basil avocado salad… which sounded so yummy I had to try it on my own.
I’m always looking for new ways to spice up my salmon. I didn’t even start eating it until about 2 years ago, but now I LOVE it. I admit, I had to learn to love it because I know it’s healthy for me and I should be eating less burgers and more fish… but once I started experimenting with different recipes it’s one of my favorite go to weeknight meals! This recipe is so incredibly easy, the pesto can be made […]
I know I just started doing “Dinner and a Movie” on my blog, so this is probably premature but…… this could possibly be my favorite night. First of all – my favorite movie – Bridget Jones Diary…. I can’t think of many more movies that I can watch over and over and over again and still love so much.
I am so embarrassed to admit I have never seen Good Will Hunting… I am not only obsessed with movies, but I’m a child of the 90’s, arguably the best movie decade ever (to me at least). You know what else was so awesome about the 90’s? Dinner and a Movie on TBS – I used to live for that on weekends!! So, because we all know how nostalgic I am, I decided to bring it back as a weekly […]
Between my rapidly growing family and all the other people in my life that I want to give gifts to this holiday season the number is adding up very quick, and it is getting very $$$$$. So, I decided to make a few homemade gifts – channeling Martha Stewart hard – and made some really awesome sugar scrubs (with the help of my crafty mom, of course). My hands smell like sandalwood, my fingers are slipping off the keyboard, but oh my goshhhh I […]
I am always on the look out for great new products that make my life in the kitchen a bit easier. As you know, I’m OBSESSED with Kuhn Rikon’s pressure cooker, it’s the greatest kitchen gadget ever, so I am very excited to be partnering up with them and testing a few other products they have! Kuhn Rikon’s Pocket Makers are a pretty cool little 3 piece set of gadgets that help make empanadas, pizza pockets, mini pies, dumplings, and much more.
This recipe is inspired by one of my good friends and her beautiful baby girl. I have this amazing friend who home cooks her 1 year old daughter’s meals 3x/day, 7 days a week – super mom. She will eat seaweed, tofu, vegetables, fish… anything – I have never seen a child eat all of these things without complaining and actually enjoying!!! So, recently we went out for sushi and this super mom pulls lunch out of her purse for her little […]
