Easy French Entertaining: A Loaded Cheese Plate and Sea Salt Chocolate Truffles Sometimes I like to feel classy. It’s hard to do these days. Like really hard. I mean I spend my days with a toddler that has a very disgusting sense of humor and eating chicken nugget leftovers. Back in the olden days, …
This blog post has been compensated by Smithfield Fresh Pork. All opinions are mine alone. #GetGrillingAmerica #CollectiveBias #Ad I’ve always had a thing for nachos. Saucy nachos, loaded nachos, all kinds of nachos. These barbecue rib nachos- let’s just say they totally fit my nacho thing. I know it sounds weird to say that nachos …
I’m such a sucker for all things Caprese like this Shrimp Caprese Salad with Honey Balsamic Reduction in the summer time. Well really any time of year, but especially the summer with all the fresh sweet tomatoes and delicious basil. In fact if you were to raid my kitchen between June and September you’d find …

Possibly because I am obsessed with spicy, Asian inspired cuisine. Seriously, my daughter is basically made of Thai food because that’s all I ate when I …
Strawberry Crepes Here we are staring down Mother’s Day weekend and strawberry crepes. How did that happen? Wasn’t it just New Years Day and weren’t we just focused on eating healthy? Even weirder: not only are we staring down Mother’s Day weekend but this is my THIRD Mother’s Day as a mom with a child on …
This pasta with white bean sauce is one of the ultimate comfort food dishes for me. I know I have told you all before that my Italian grandma made tons of things like lasagna and twice baked potatoes all the time growing up. Those dishes were sort of special occasion food, but this pasta with …
