I’m always happy when I can use my slow cooker! Who doesn’t love having dinner cook itself?? Between working two businesses, school and after school activities, and LIFE I feel like we are always running. Can anyone else relate?? One thing I do try really hard to do is cook healthy meals for my family […]
Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta
Yum I love Brussel Sprouts. Ok, I admit I didn’t always love them. I think I was well into my 30’s before I would even try them. Over the last few years, I have experimented with different ways to cook them and I have to say, they are now one of my favorite vegetables. AND […]
Chicken Lentil Stew
As we enter into our fourth week of staying at home, we all find ourselves cooking all the time. The questions of “What’s for dinner” has taken on a whole new meaning and frankly, it can be stressful trying to figure out what to cook all day every day. As we try to make less […]
Polenta with Swiss Chard and White Beans
Yum My husband declared this “The most insanely delicious Polenta Ever!” Yes, that’s what he called it! I cook a lot and my family always is complimentary (ok, maybe not ALWAYS…there have been a few mishaps) about whatever I cook. So, when I get a reaction like I did the other night to this polenta, […]
Slow Cooker Pork and Lentil Curry
My experimentation with reinventing take out at home- healthy and EASY- continues! I am especially obsessed with Indian food these days.

Broccoli, Spinach, & Cheese Frittata
Yum Who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner? There’s something so comforting and easy about it. We got home late from after school activities and the dentist and I was so ready to just order take out. But, knowing the weekend was coming and we would probably be ordering in and eating out more than once, […]
Tofu Chickpea and Spinach Curry
Yum I wasn’t always a cook. Single and living in NYC, I used my oven for storage until I was 30 years old, so when my 7-year-old has recently taken a huge interest in wanting to learn to cook on her own, I was thrilled! She actually has decided she wants to go on […]
Dairy Free White Bean Soup with Shrimp and Kale
YumLet’s talk soup. Winter is definitely here in Brooklyn! It’s no secret that I’m not much of a Winter fan, but I do love a good soup when it’s cold outside. My husband has been asking me to make a version of a white bean and shrimp soup that he had at a New York […]
