Fun With Food – {adding special details to the meals you prepare for your children}
November 16, 2013 by
I have always loved to cook! My style of cooking has changed a little bit since I’ve had children due to the amount of free time I have. Let’s face it, mothers are very busy people. I still love to make home-cooked meals for my family, but I prefer simple, quick and easy recipes instead of the gourmet recipes of […]
Quick and Easy Breakfast Wraps
August 28, 2013 by
I have been making breakfast wraps for quite some time now. They are quick, easy, inexpensive, versatile, healthy and perfect for families that are on the go. Our lives can be so busy at times. My life got even busier when my husband and I had our first child and then our second child 18 months later. All of our […]

My 4-year old daughter saw an assortment of baby potatoes at the grocery store. She just had to have them….”they were so cute”. No complaints from me; I LOVE potatoes! She could not wait to get home and bake them, apron on and all! Here is an easy recipe: Boil the baby potatoes until they […]
Turkey Meatballs with Whole Wheat Spaghetti
July 12, 2013 by
I found a recipe for Turkey Meatballs on FoodNetwork.com a few years ago and it has been a regular in my family ever since. It is a recipe from Ellie Krieger. I only changed two things: I substituted fresh white bread crumbs with Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs that I always have in my pantry. I used Minced Garlic that I found in […]

Pasta e Fagiole – A Quick and Easy Soup
April 9, 2013 by
I love making soups! They are simple, flavorful and packed with nutrients. And the added bonus? I must get several soup requests from my 2 year old boy weekly! He LOVES soup! Any. Kind. Of. Soup. Last weekend, we took a little getaway to celebrate my dad’s bd. We were out to lunch on the last day, and of […]
Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast
April 2, 2013 by
I love slow cooker meals because they are simple! I use my slow cooker at least once a week and I always use my slow cooker(s) for large family gatherings. I have time to visit with my company while the meal is cooking and I don’t have to worry about transferring anything to serving platters. I always have everything set up buffet style. Our guests can load up their […]
Vegetarian Chili
March 20, 2013 by
There is something so comforting about chili; especially during the winter months when we are cold and longing for sunshine. It has always been one of my go-to dishes. It’s simple, quick and flavorful –and- you can make enough chili to feed 4, 8 or 12, and the amount of work is almost the same; so […]
Tilapia and Vegetable Packets
March 15, 2013 by
I LOVE to cook. It became a passion of mine after I discovered the Food Network. When I cook for myself, everything I cook is vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for 15 years. No meat. No poultry. No fish. I always had a few non-vegetarian meals that I could whip up for friends and family, but I […]
