Hey everyone! I have a confession: When I was little, I wanted to be a Pilgrim when I grew up. This is 100% true… right mom? I know you’re reading this. 😉 It only took one trip to Plimoth Plantation to make this decision …maybe it was the popped corn-on-the-cob in the Wampanoag village, or…
There are few things more concerning than an overcooked piece of really nice fresh fish. Swordfish is one of my favorites, but I’ve always been scared of overcooking it on the stove top or in the oven. The grill always seems to cook it perfectly – charred on the outside, sticky and flaky in the…
This cowboy chili recipe is a riff on a basic chili recipe that won my husband first place in a few chili cook-offs. When I adapted Don’s recipe, I made a few tweaks, and he is convinced that my version is wayyyy better than his – and Don does not admit defeat easily! That means…

For a lot of us, being quarantined, locked-down, or social-distancing means we are left to our own devices to cook nutritious and delicious meals… three times a day… while also restricting grocery shopping to once a week or less.

Healthy Banana Bread Recipe This time of year, our house is about 80-90 degrees, and our bananas are turning brown in just a couple days! All those brown bananas are screaming to be turned to a squishy, yummy loaf of tasty banana bread (meanwhile, I’m screaming for central air conditioning!). If you’re looking to use…
Deep down, most people want to follow a healthier eating plan: the benefits of focusing on health and nutrition are obvious. Despite the evidence that a healthier lifestyle can make you live longer, improve your health and make you look younger, many people are still not making healthy choices for themselves. Some assume healthy eating…
