If our family had to pick a favorite type of food it would definitely be Italian! Michael’s nickname in my family is “Meatball” because his love of meatballs runs deep. Edie is the same, so she now goes by “Mini Meatball”. Italian is our thing! We adore this bolognese recipe and it is Evan’s favorite meal. Through our time in...

This quarantine has been teaching me that I love simplicity. Simple meals done right. Also, I don’t like doing dishes. The grill has been one of my favorite ways to prepare and prep meals over this time at home. First, the weather here couldn’t be more perfect to grill. I look forward to going outside and cooking food for the...

Good morning and happy Monday! As we embark on our 7th week at home, I have learned the recipes that I make the most each week. One recipe on constant repeat has been a weeknight chicken and veggie soup. I love this soup because it tastes like it simmered all day long, but can easily be pulled together on a...

I hope that if you try this one, you LOVE it. I remember that during our entire Whole 30 this was the recipe that was made the most by other people doing the Whole 30, too. It uses my most favorite nut butter: cashew! It is hard to choose a favorite nut and nut butter because I love them all....

Are you into eating chocolate ice cream smoothie bowls for breakfast? Cool, me, too. You are in good company. Starting the day with something sweet is it for me. I tend to associate savory meals with lunch and dinner and very rarely will go savory for breakfast. I like my breakfast to taste like dessert and I don’t hide it....

This recipe name explains this smoothie perfectly! When we were growing up there was a frozen custard shop by my grandparents in Altoona, PA. It was called “The Meadows” and I still dream about the day I get to take the E’s there for the first time. They had a magical, swirled Dreamsicle. I would get mine with colored sprinkles...

This is another recipe that was inspired by family. My grandmother’s favorite dessert was Coconut Cream pie. We grew up eating her favorite dessert on special occasions and this past year for my Mom’s birthday we mailed her one. Again, food brings us close to the one’s we love when we can’t be physically close to them. In my personal...

I will eat a mango any chance I get. They are hands down my favorite fruit and I may or may not battle Edie over who gets to eat the last one’s 😉 Don’t worry, I always give them to her! There is no way I could go through a smoothie series and not have a killer green smoothie recipe....

Fall is definitely my favorite season. Not for the PSL, but for the sweet relief from the summer heat in Florida. We have this one day we celebrate in our house each year and it is the first day after summer where we open all the windows and the porch slider and let the cool air in. THAT is my...

I am definitely on a walk down memory lane with these smoothies! Sometimes I find myself looking to create something new and different with my morning smoothies. I forget that reinventing the wheel isn’t always needed. Thankful to be moving all these recipes over to this blog for safe keeping and easy access. I just love them all so much....
