You all are in for a big treat today because I am sharing one heck of an amazing recipe! My husband doesn’t work in a typical office setting. He works outdoors all day so he isn’t able to store any lunches in a fridge and he can’t use a microwave to heat anything up. This …

One of my favorite meals my mom cooked when I was a kid was stuffed peppers. The peppers have now become my 22-month-old twin boys’ favorite meal as well.  Every time I make them, they gobble them up and ask for more! This meal can be made with red or green bell peppers. I usually …

But recently, I’ve come to realize that I feel much better throughout the day if I start it off with a protein rich breakfast. Hence, the birth of a Starbuck’s copycat – the Sausage and …

Don’t you love it when you come home from a hard day of work to find your loving Italian grandmother hovering over the stove stirring a huge pot of spaghetti sauce that she has been working on all day? Boy, I do. Except that it never happens to me. First of all, I’m German. Second, …
