Breaking away from the day to day
Pasta is a staple in this house. We eat it any way we can get it! I adore Mac & Cheese. Who doesn’t? Actually, Little Ricky doesn’t…he’s weird. Changing up our mac & cheese intake a bit keeps this family on their toes. That’s why these Fried Mac & Cheese Bites are a perfect way…

Between constant trips between baseball practices and games to running errands and not to mention my kids’ expanding social life, I’m always on the run. All this running…
So it’s no secret that I love to eat. My husband and I enjoy cooking together and try new recipes all the time. We are fortunate enough to live in Miami where we can grill 365 days a year. We even grill on rainy days under the patio cover. It’s really so convenient! Now that the…
I love going out to eat. Not only is it a way for me to get out of cooking and cleaning for a night, but I really just like how the food just seems to taste better in a restaurant. Maybe it’s because I’m not the one cooking or cleaning up after. On Monday nights, we…
I feel so guilty eating out all the time. Jam packed schedules make it really hard to eat at home due to the time it takes to prepare meals. By the time we get home most days, it’s close to 8:30pm and if I start cooking then, we won’t eat until 9 or 9:30pm. I…
One very exhausting day, I found myself in the grocery store at around 4:30pm roaming the aisles looking for something to make for dinner. I was getting frustrated that everything would take forever to cook and I was about to abandon my shopping cart and order Chinese takeout when my phone rang. My “niece” Emma…
Ok. So we all know Onion Soup Mix… There are SOOO many things to use it for. Onion dip. Enough said. Meatloaf – it gives such a nice oniony flavor and a crunch on the top of this American staple. Onion roasted potatoes. My fave! Classic Onion Soup I could really go on and on…….
I LOVE rice…especially Fried Rice! I mean, what’s the point of eating Chinese take out without it? There are times when I attempt to make something a bit Asian…like a stir fry with chicken or fresh fish with Ponzu sauce and I’m not in the mood for plain old white rice. That’s when an Easy…
Ah, St. Patrick’s Day….the day we all wear green to avoid getting pinched and drink green beer until we can’t stand anymore. Wait a minute…that was when I was in college! One of my all time FAVORITE meals for St. Patrick’s Day is Shepherd’s Pie. There’s something about a ground beef mixture with creamy potatoes…
The BIG GAME is coming up this weekend & you know what that means…fun commercials and goodies! I love putting out a spread of appetizers as we crowd around the TV to watch the new ads the football game. Along with my regular “go-to” snacks like chips and dips and buffalo wings, I like to slip…
