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, …

I’ve never been one for experimenting with recipes, I can follow a recipe just great, but tasting something and then making up my own – not so much. But … a few years ago I tried a deli salad from Whole Foods and just had to attempt a recreation at home. It took a few …

Just after 8:30am on Monday morning this week, there was a sudden calm in my house. As if time stood still and I could hear every tiny sound in my home. The air-conditioner suddenly sounded louder. The clicking of my computer keyboard was more evident. I could even hear the refrigerator run from time to …

Fact: I am a vegetarian. I used to be a really horrible vegetarian and only eat bread and cheese, but now that I’ve been living this lifestyle for over 10 years, I have discovered that there are so many amazing recipes out there for us vegetarians. I now eat a wide range of very healthy …

Nothing screams “SUMMER” more than the smell of food cooking on the grill.  At our house, hot dogs are a go-to grill food in the summer because they are a guaranteed hit with the kids.  The only downside is that sometimes mom and dad get a tad sick of eating them the same old way.  …

I’ve got several meals on standby that I cook when I have company. This one is always a big hit with guests. The bonus is that my kids love it, too! It’s healthy, delicious, and easy to make. It also covers three of the five food groups, making it a great all-in-one meal. Enjoy! Ingredients: …

Am I the only mom who is tired of eating PB&J and mac ‘n cheese alongside the kids at lunchtime? Oh, good! I figured I wasn’t alone! Instead of prepping a second “mom” lunch every day of the week when I’m short on time (which is usually why I end up with a bowl of …

Like most kids, my boys love macaroni and cheese. Unfortunately, they are a bit less enthusiastic about healthier foods. So I found a great way to sneak a vitamin-packed fruit into their favorite food. I took my recipe for baked macaroni and cheese—which I came up with by combining a few other recipes I’d found …
