I’d love to spin this post as the perfect way to help your kids eat more vegetables, but that’s honestly not my focus. Although this recipe is delicious in my book, my kids still turned their noses up at it. My daughter shrieked at its’ “greenness” and my sauce licked the sauce off each zucchini …
I just recently completed Whole30 and have decided to adapt to this way of eating as a lifestyle change. It was really challenging for me to come up with things to eat when I first started, but now I like to think of myself as somewhat as a pro. Whether you’re doing Whole30 or not, …

This New Years, I’m hosting for the first time. Truth be told, my family kind of volunteered me. I think it might have something to do with the fact that we live within walking distance of Colorado Blvd and the Rose Parade route in Pasadena. I’m actually getting pretty excited about hosting because I love …
Last year my sister-in-law gave me the easiest recipe ever for BBQ pulled chicken that you can make in the slow cooker. It’s so easy, in fact, that I hesitate to even call it a recipe. It also happens to be really delicious. I’ve made this chicken for many guests and it’s always a huge hit. It’s …
By now I’m guessing we’ve all started our shopping lists for the big Thanksgiving meal … I’m whipping up some classic mac ‘n cheese as a side dish, as well as a dessert to take to our family gathering this year. I know, I know I have an easy holiday ahead of me! Even better, …
