Finding Joy in the Journey

We've all been there. We're in a rush and we need food fast, so we resort to frozen or fast food dinners that might, if we admit it, be a little less than nourishing. It doesn't have to be like that. Quick can be healthy! This enchilada salad proves it. Full of color and important... Continue Reading →

Once again, it was super easy to make and went over... Continue Reading →
I love meatloaf; let me clarify, I love my Nana's recipe for meatloaf. It's sweet, savory and perfect. But, I try to cut down on the red meat when possible. So, last night I took that recipe, modified it to meatballs and used turkey. End result? Wonderful! Give it a try! Turkey Meatballs Ingredients: 2... Continue Reading →
As many of you know, we took the boys to San Diego last month. It was amazing...from incredible beach views and runs to seeing the west coast for the first time, we built memories to last a lifetime.
