Zucchini Pizza Boats
End of summer… Means creative summer dishes. But first, how the heck is it already September? How did that happen? It seems like yesterday we were all watching the TV and social media to see what would unfold with Covid and the month of March was PAINFUL… and then all of a sudden… It is September. How’s that happen? I hope you are all hanging in there. I have felt extra isolated lately. I feel like I am ready for a little bit of normalcy in my life. Maybe not the returning back to the office part, at least not full weeks. I like working from home. However, being someone…

Crispy Mushrooms & Kale
Hello friends! Happy Thursday! I don’t know about you by my garden is really producing a lot of stuff now. Why does it always happen that all of the good vegetables come all at the same time? Then you have to use all of them super fast! My mom has a really beautiful garden as well and she has made just about every zucchini dish you could ever imagine. I had some kale and I needed to use it so I went searching on the interwebs for a good recipe. I came across the one that I found and honestly I was not expecting the results to be as good…

Pasta and things
Is it just me or are you waking up every day and saying… wait, what day is it? It feels so strange to be home all the time, but I will also say that I am loving being able to multi-task. I can be on a conference call and do my laundry or cook myself a meal. The only thing I worry about is when I do go back to work (which from the sounds of it won’t be until next year), how the pup will handle it. He has gotten so used to me being home, I actually was thinking about it and I hope that I can work…

Winter Brussel Sprouts & Onion Sauté
Happy December! Seriously where in the world has this year gone? I apologize for my lack of posts this year… I have had a lot of change happening. Good change I think, but change none the less. My new job is going well, it is SO new to me, but thankfully I work with a lot of really supportive people. It is nice to know that people are there to work with you and not against you. Changing jobs has literally turned my life upside down..my schedule has changed, I have had many personal struggles and new hurdles to try and conquer this year. To say the least. Changes is…

Snickerdoodles {Paleo}
Confession… I love cookies. and cinnamon. But mostly cookies. I mean this is my second cookie post this week. Dogs and cats living together…MASS HYSTERIA! (name that movie and I’ll be your friend forever 😉 ) Enough about cookies… I am super excited today because I am headed to see one of best friends in the WHOOOLE world! Chrissy! WOOHOO! I love this girl so much. She actually just came to visit me but she’s got a big birthday coming up and I am SO excited to celebrate with her. Heading down to the Philly area to see some old friends and check out the old stomping ground and hang…

Homemade Salsa
Holy August Batman! Is anyone else’s garden exploding? Mine is! Every day I am bringing in more tomatoes, squash, peppers, herbs… I mean don’t get me wrong, I love having fresh vegetables and herbs right outside my door, but good lord. There could be a small farm stand at the end of my driveway and I could STILL have too much. Makes for a happy coworkers and lots of ideas for a food blogger 😉 All kidding aside I really do enjoy having a garden. It keeps me busy and I love knowing where my food comes from. Clearly anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about eating…

Grilled Corn
Hey! So remember how I used to be a food blogger?! Holy shit. Meeee too! Life has gotten in the way quite a bit. Once upon a time… Before I owned a house… Became a wife… Got a puppy… Worked full-time… I could regularly do, just that. Lately, it has been quite the struggle. Now that Patrick travels pretty much every month, a lot of the responsibility of the house falls on me. And that’s okay. It is part of it, but it definitely doesn’t leave a lot of free time for me. I am fine with being alone. I have never been one of those people that is afraid…

Paleo Banana Bread
Meet Teddy! My cuddly little ball of fur that I welcomed into my home on April 18th! This little nugget was born on February 23rd 2015, and at 9 weeks old he is already 12lbs! He is going to be a monster 🙂 It has been quite an adjustment the past few days. Teddy has been giving us a run for our money, but that is ok! I am loving every second. Mornings look like this now… He is constantly underfoot. ESPECIALLY when I am in the kitchen. Which, let’s be honest…is all the time. If I’m not sleeping, at the gym, or eating…I am in the kitchen making something…

Pasta Arrabbiata with Carrot Noodles
Remember how I used to blog? Yea me too. I have been terrible about blogging lately. Not because I haven’t created lots of tasty treats but I feel like I really haven’t had much to say. Do you ever have that? Either way, I am super excited to be sharing this post today because it has to do with the amazing spiralizer I told you about with my Zoodles post. I was invited by Tuttorosso Tomatoes to share a recipes for their “Inspiralize the Spring” promotion. You can find all the details here, but I will go ahead and tell you what it is all about anyways.. 😉 During the…

Blueberry Banana Muffin Bites {Paleo}
Holy more snow Batman! We are still digging out from snow again! New England was having SUCH a mild winter and then BAM, we got like 40″+ in a week span. What is the deal? Don’t get me wrong, I do love the snow, it is gorgeous and pretty and I truly enjoy looking at it. However, when you get older the playing in the snow goes away and the cleaning it up becomes more of the deal. Oh well. It wouldn’t be so bad if Patrick was around more, but the hubs travels a lot. He is Germany right now so it is tough. BUT, he did get to…

Quinoa Pizza Crust
I am always looking for ways to have pizza and not do too much damage to my waistline. The hubs practically lived on pizza before we met, so I do my best to try and make it for him every once in a while. We eat cauliflower crust pizza at my house probably once a week because it is easy to make and great for you, but it doesn’t have the same “crunch” as normal pizza does. You know what I am talking about… The crust crunch you get when you go into a townie pizza parlor and the crust smells and tastes like it as made of angel wings.…
