More snow coming our way and this week’s Menu Plan Monday Every winter I say the same thing: If I ever move across the country to California, it will be because of the snowy winters in New York. Boy am I feeling that way again today. Last week’s Menu Plan Monday post was all about the impending storm due to…
Stocking up and cooking some cold weather recipes for a snowy week ahead. Are you ready for a blizzard?! That’s what everyone around here is talking about. Yesterday afternoon I stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up some fresh produce for my childrens’ nursery school class (I’m snack parent this week) and the line of cars to get into the…

If you’ve been to the supermarket recently, you may have noticed that despite the humid temps, the produce pickings are changing and your summer favorites are more expensive and less available than just a few…
Menu Planning Tip: A good way to design your menu is to base it on perishable ingredients you have on hand that you don’t want to waste. I’m heading out of town next week, so this week’s menu is designed with the above tip in mind – afterall, I can’t let cilantro, tomatoes, corn, and summer squash go to waste! A…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Summer is definitely here in our house: we’ve been grilling and enjoying lots of seasonal fruit and veggies.

Happy belated Mother’s Day to all who celebrated yesterday! We were very lucky to have a beautiful day to celebrate, which meant a lot of time outside and dining al fresco: brunch on our patio and a BBQ with extended family!!

Last week’s menu was a winner with the whole family. My kids couldn’t get enough of the fish tacos – they didn’t even ask for fruit after dinner that night! The herbed lemon chicken was super easy to make, light, and flavorful. And my lightened up mac n cheese was such a hit there were no leftovers! (Look out for…
