Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
This is my new favorite food for the season, a combination of so many flavors and it gets better every day, marination in your fridge! It is a beautiful salad filled with color that I hoard for myself when possible, eating it bit by bit. I got caught finishing it off last night at bedtime.... Continue Reading →
Our garden is producing a few eggplants a week right now and we have more tomatoes and basil than we know what to do with, so I found an easier recipe for Eggplant Parmesan. I spent wayyyyy too much time on a version of it last year, and can have good intentions about making it... Continue Reading →
I will admit that I kind of turned my nose up to the Hello Fresh's of the world, I cook all the time, I don't need anybody sending me deconstructed meals to prepare when I can buy it locally from the store, right? But then I read about Sun Basket, a California based company... Continue Reading →
We do eat gluten in our house, but a lot of my friends and my kid's friends do not, so I wanted to have a recipe for something we could all enjoy. I found gluten free rice pasta by a company called DeBole's at our store and honestly I cannot tell the difference. I only... Continue Reading →

I found this recipe in my latest Bon Appetit magazine, looked through the ingredients and determined I only needed to purchase eggplants and went for it! Unfortunately, I didn't read the recipe closely and the whole thing took close to three hours to get to the table. Halfway through the job, I decided it wasn't worth... Continue Reading →
Found this recipe at my grocery store and it works! Grilled the vegetables alongside some steak and put it together quickly. We decided the leftover should be served as a panzanella - add a handful of spinach and some chunks of grilled bread. Delicious! Grilled Sweet Potato and Corn Salad 1 medium sweet potato, peeled...

Many days I eat a quick pb & j midday but if I take just a few extra minutes I can really treat myself. This is a perfect lunch for me. Grilled every vegetable I could find in the fridge, then mixed in some farro and orzo I had prepared earlier. Those grains take a... Continue Reading →
