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…

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…

Zucchini Fritters
I am swimming in zucchini… So many zucchini! and since I have a person in my house that hates zucchini, I have to come up with creative ways to get it into dinners. Lucky for me, there is one night a week right now where I am on my own for dinner, so guess what my dinners have consisted of. Wow, how did you guess? Yup, zucchini. I will pretty much eat it any which way, but I wanted to try something different. Do you ever get like that? Where you know there are a million ways you have already had something, and they were all super delicious but you…

Great Food for Great Friends
Saturday of this past weekend was a fun day…I invited over some good friends and we had a great time eating, drinking, and just socializing. Once I knew that people were going to be coming over I decided I wanted to do something a little different for dinner than what I normally do. It is always great to break from the mold :-). I know a lot of people who tend to try and stick to what they know when they have guests coming over because normally, that makes for a guaranteed good meal. ::raises right hand:: I am very guilty of this! However, this time I wanted to step…

Pizza with a Stone
Wellll helllooooo! I have been totally MIA for the past couple days, almost week actually. Holidays are crazy and time just seems to slip right on by me when the holidays are near (or here)! I was able to spend time with loved ones and friends during the holidays and the best part was, I was able to…SLEEP IN! I love to sleep…I was so happy to be able to sleep in past 6am and to not have to hear and alarm clock for 4 days straight. Oh what joy that was for me…so nice. I say all the time that it must be awesome to be a cat because…

Calzones & Dance
I have great news! I auditioned for a professional dance company in Longmeadow, Mass and they want me to dance with them! AHHH! So excited! I have been a dancer since I was 2 years old and ever since I graduated from college it has been hard to find a modern dance company. I am so happy to be dancing again, I have missed it so much! The only bad part is that the rehearsals are 9:30pm on Mondays (sometimes Sunday) nights. Phew! Makes for a long evening….I normally don’t get home until just before midnight. Getting home so late last night has made me a little groggy this morning…and…

Sesame Chicken
Another weekend has come and gone. It is amazing to me how quickly my weekends seem to pass the older I get. I was just having a conversation with my good friend Tamara about how I miss being younger and having life be a bit simpler. I miss the days when someone read a fairytale and then I was given a small carton of milk before my afternoon nap. Those were the days! I feel like anything I can do to make my life more simple is always a good thing. THAT is why I wanted to share this recipe with you. I was given a lot of cookbooks a…

Kabobs
Love summer time! Summer time to me is so much fun, not just for the sun and vacations…but for the grill! I find that if I am ever in doubt as to what I should make for dinner…I head for the grill. You can make some of the best food on the grill….although I have to admit I have had some mishaps. Like, for example, the first time I tried to make pizza on the grill. Let’s just say the people at the grocery store saw me twice in one day, one hour apart. 😛 Anyways, I wanted to make something on the grill and kabobs are always a good…
