No household should be without some basil pesto stashed in their freezer. It’s flavorful, simple to make and is hands down, THE BEST last minute throw together meal. Ever. As a busy working mama I need all the help I can get come dinnertime and anything I can make ahead of time and freeze is …
I don’t know about you but come October I am obsessed with everything pumpkin and everything “Pumpkin Spice”. From coffee to cream cheese, you name it, as long as it’s got pumpkin in the title, I’m into it. There’s just something so warm and inviting about the combination of spices used to make up what is …
It’s Fall! Hooray!!! I may have entered the season kicking and screaming but as soon as the leaves begin to change and that cool crisp air sets in, I’m an easy convert. Plus, what’s not to love about Fall, right? Pumpkin and apple picking are two of my favorite activities and let’s not forget about …
Why is it that as soon as we become parents, we seem to completely forget about our own needs? And I’m not talking about going to the gym or getting a mani/pedi, I’m talking basic needs like food and water. Maybe it’s just me but after four years and two kids I’m still guilty of …

Spaghetti Frittata is one of my favorite leftover meals. I hate to waste food and I know many people feel the same way. Inevitably we make too much of something, we put it into an airtight container to eat later and then it sits in our fridge until it grows legs and walks away or …
I get asked a lot about weeknight meals. People are always curious what my weeknight go-to family meals are. Because I develop recipes for a living I think that most people assume I’m feeding my family fancy-pants meals every night and that’s just not the case. Regardless of my profession, we’re still a family and …
I’ve told you before just how much homemade pesto rocks! I’ve even given you five great uses for it besides as a pasta sauce. But today my friends, I give you yet another tasty recipe using pesto and quite possibly my favorite of the bunch: Pesto Roasted Chicken thighs. That’s right! Pesto makes an excellent …
It’s no secret that summertime is an exciting time to visit the farmers market. Even the produce aisle at your local supermarket is more enticing and bursting with colorful fruits and veggies this time of year. I have to admit I have to restrain myself when I’m shopping in the warmer months because if I’m …
Growing up Italian, it’s a rite of passage when you learn your grandmothers meatball recipe. It’s something that is passed down from generation to generation. Each family has their own special twist and lord knows every recipe is as individual as the family themselves, but they all have one thing in common, tradition. In fact, a family …
I love Summer entertaining, mostly because it’s usually super casual and laid back. In fact, I probably entertain more in the summer than I do all year long because it’s just so easy. All you need is a couple of easy dishes and one or two signature drinks to make a party seem really special. …
