Yum And, just like that, it’s soup season. The beauty of soup? You can really make a soup out of anything you have on hand. It’s a great way to clean out your refrigerator or pantry and to get more veggies into your kids. And it can be made ahead of time or in your […]
Watermelon Feta Salad
It’s almost…almost….time for outdoor eating! By far my favorite time of the year is when we can head up to our roof (that’s the equivalent of a backyard for those of us in the city), grill, and eat outside with friends. It’s like an impromptu party all the time. But, I like to keep it […]
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 […]

Grilled Swordfish Kebabs
When the weather starts to get warmer, one of our favorite things to do is grill! We spend a lot of nights up on our rooftop grilling. Whether with friends or just on our own for a quick weeknight dinner, we love to eat outside and enjoy the view from our roof. One problem with […]
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas
Yum This recipe for my Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas was inspired by my family’s love of Mexican food. Some of our favorite vacations have been to Mexico. We love the people, the culture, the beauty, and the FOOD. If you’ve been following The Brooklyn Mom for a while, you know I love to create our […]
Penne with Cherry Tomatoes and Capers
Yum So, you know that awesome feeling when you know that dinner is in the slow cooker and you don’t have to scramble and figure out what to make for dinner when you get home? As long as you remembered to actually turn it on before you left the house? Which yesterday, I didn’t. […]
Carb Free Chicken Parmigiana
There was a restaurant in our neighborhood in Downtown Brooklyn that we used to go to before it closed last year. They had a chicken parmigiana that was different than the typical dish that you get at most places, and my husband loved it. Parmigiana is not something I typically cook and I never order […]
