Fish is similar to chicken in a lot of ways –– it can be baked, pan-fried, soup-a-fied, stuffed, rolled, grilled, roasted and more. Fish is also something that can now be purchased at many farmer’s markets across the country. I am fortunate enough to have a household that adores eating fish and a market that […]

I love fried eggs. They are really good on top of almost anything –– in fact, just yesterday, I had one on top of a hamburger (whoa!) for the first time and it just proved this “theory” of mine to be true. I must say though that there’s something magical about a fried egg oozing […]

Roasted chicken is one of those comfort foods that is around in our house often. It’s a simple goodness that can be modified into just about anything from a salad topper, to a sandwich filler or a main attraction at the dinner table and I love the diversity of it. One can make it hot […]

There are those accidents that are not so happy (you know the ones) and then there are those that are not only happy but delicious, too. These last few weeks seem to have been nothing but one loooooooong birthday celebration for my favorite 8 year old. We’ve done the BIG trip to Legoland, Florida. We’ve done the slumber party […]

I have had a long love affair with peaches. They are on top of my list for best foods to consume while stranded on a deserted island. They also happen to be just showing up at the farmers markets right now. Blintzes have also been one of those foods that could make it to the island with […]

When I was a kid I became obsessed with all things strawberry. From my scented strawberry shortcake dolls to my love of strawberry flavored maple syrup on my morning pancakes to angel food cakes smothered in fresh strawberries and whipped cream – it was a thing but I guess this could be considered a “healthy […]

A whole fish does not have to be intimidating. In fact, I think it’s actually easier to cook an entire one versus a filet because, with some easy prep work, you can just let the fish do all of the work for you –– there’s also a bonus: Homemade Fish Stock can be made with […]

Do you believe in Mercury Retrograde? Well, if you do it kinda explains a lot about this past month’s events and all of the cra-cra things that have been happening to friends and family both near and far. If you don’t … well, I guess consider it the ebbs and flows of life. Either way, […]

I have had a long love affair with the Caprese salad. It’s not a complicated salad, in fact, I think it’s the simplicity that makes it so gosh darn delicious. Perfectly ripe, fresh summer tomatoes combined with tender mozzarella cheese and bright basil is an amazing combination. Tis’ the season for juicy tomatoes and with all […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares –– need I say more? I told you I’ve been naughty –– lucky for me I have great neighbors and friends willing to help me eat up all of these delicious treats as well as this latest little number loaded with peanut butter and dark chocolate. Oh, and yes of course, a fantastic exercise class to keep […]
