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...

Sharing recipes...

In an effort to make life simple, we are meal planning every week. Aiming for easy family dinners that make everyone happy. Now that school as started, I’ve found it is even more important to map out everything we will be eating so that I don’t have to make last minute shopping trips. It is nice to know that when...

Good morning! I hope that you all are having a great weekend- the weather in Jacksonville yesterday was pure bliss! We overdosed on sunshine and all slept like a dream last night. Just wrapped up our menu planning session for this week. My goal for our menu is to create a bunch of leftovers. Michael is not traveling at all...
