Fresh summer tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. When we have visited Europe you see most menus cater to what is in season. You don’t see artichokes in October or root vegetables in the spring. In the US we definitely are […]
Last year I wrote about going into the New Year with a mantra. My mantra for 2018 was “embrace change”. I originally thought about “accept change” but to me that was just being “ok” with something changing versus really embracing it and being MORE THAN […]
Since getting married in Italy we had been dying to go back. To the point that I actually had a meeting set up with the Italian Consulate to talk about quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving there for a year. I found out […]

I am now at the end of my pregnancy (I HOPE!!!!) so spending hours in the kitchen sounds less appealing to me. I get tired so easily just standing these days that I don’t want to be slumped over my kitchen counters chopping and […]
It is FREEZING out. As in the air hurts your face cold. While we were home for Christmas it was so cold I didn’t even want to leave the house. Then we came back to Detroit and it wasn’t any better. Even though I […]
It has been a crazy fall here in Michigan. Normally this time of the year we have a nice crisp breeze which makes staying inside on Sundays to watch football that much better. Not this year. Lately it’s been seventy and sunny out which […]
April showers brings May flowers colds. Ughh! I have been hit with the change of season bug. And let me tell you it is not fun. The only thing that has sounded good the past week has been a really brothy soup. But I […]

So lately there are two things I definitely don’t have time to do (well actually that list is way more than two). Make a good breakfast and blog. During the week we, I mean MY HUSBAND, makes us smoothies for breakfast. Then on the weekends […]
Spring is here. Kind of. It’s supposed to snow tonight so you never really know in Michigan. But we have had a few warmer days lately which gets me excited. I love seeing the food switch over in the grocery store when the season changes. […]
Finding time to sit down and type these days are rare. My husband is sick and taking a nap and I have baby down so here we go! Since I had Isley I have quite a few people I know that have become pregnant. A […]

When my husband and I thought about having kids we always thought “either way we will be happy”. If we got pregnant we knew we would love our little baby, but if we didn’t we knew we would continue on with the life as we […]
It’s been well over a year since I wrote Part 1 of this post. Since then my life has changed pretty significantly with the addition to our family. I am even more picky about what we use in the house in regards to cleaners, laundry […]
When I was little my mom didn’t cook a ton. She made maybe six or seven dishes. One of the dishes she used to make was cheesy broccoli casserole. It had white rice, chicken, broccoli and some kind of condensed cream of something soup. […]
It’s funny when you have a vision in your head of how things are “supposed” to go and it turns out the complete opposite. Or you make a plan for a big event only to have it go completely sideways. It’s moments like that […]
