If you live near Las Vegas or are planning a trip there this summer, I have a fun, family-friendly activity suggestion that’s totally worth the ticket cost: The Tournament of Kings dinner and show at Excalibur! Usually when you think Vegas and the Strip, “family friendly” isn’t the first thing coming to your mind. But …

Summer is for salads! At least around my house! When the weather warms up the last thing I want to do is start the oven when dinnertime rolls around, so, I don’t! At least once or twice a week I toss together a yummy salad with all the toppings. This recipe for White Peach Chicken, …

Food holidays are the best holidays, aren’t they? And no, I don’t mean holidays associated with food, like Thanksgiving—big family gatherings and your aunt’s famous secret-recipe pie. I mean actual food holidays: whole days dedicated to celebrating a food. Such as National Pepperoni Pizza Day on September 20, for example. Amazing—just like these recipes! Check …

As much as I love soups and casseroles for fall weather meals, I also adore simplicity … Meals that don’t take much effort and meals that amuse even the pickiest of eaters. Which, is exactly why I’m head over heals for charcuterie boards. Charcuterie boards can be fancy. Charcuterie boards can be simple. They can …

To help you out, here are some meal planning tips to help you for those busy school nights: Plan ahead. Pick one day, maybe …

I love easy food. Recipes that call for simple ingredients and minimal mess when it comes to preparation. That means sandwiches are a big win in my menu planning. In addition, recipes that call for minimal dishes are 100% amazing. Because, let’s be honest, sometimes dishes are just a headache. The warm deliciousness of Pesto …

I love finding new recipes. Unfortunately, it seems like the ones that look good always require just a bit of an ingredient that is only available to purchase in a much larger quantity than I need, and which I don’t have any other use for. And while my family may have really enjoyed the cheesy …

Picky eaters have to be one of the biggest challenges of parenting. My gut instinct is to say, “Eat what I prepare or don’t eat,” right? However, I’ve learned that sometimes picky eating isn’t about a simple, willful refusal to try new or different foods. It can be anything from parent modeling, to a lack …

The classic grilled cheese sandwich is totally my jam. But what I really love is a fancy grilled cheese. Grilled cheese is as simple as recipes get, delicious, and can easily be modified for less adventurous eaters. So, while one of my kids requested “just cheese” and the other opted for “turkey and cheese, please” I was …

I love the Thanksgiving traditions that center on each person present sharing something (or somethings) that they are thankful for. What I love even more is that this doesn’t have to be one of those “everyone go around the table and say something you’re thankful for” moments that can be so awkward. Check out these …

Pregnancy has a bunch of crappy side effects women have to deal with: weight gain, tender boobs, constant nausea, swollen hands/feet/everything (just to name a few). But no matter how many of the crappy symptoms you get during your pregnancy, or how long they last, every single expecting mother gets something great out of the …

At one time or another, we all struggle with getting our toddlers to eat. Am I right?!? It seems like when my boys were in the delightful toddler stage, they could go for days on a hunger strike just because.  That is IF I let them, of course. I asked nicely. I pleaded. I begged for …
