Calamari Salad

Seafood is my passion so this is one of my favorite summer salads. You can easily take it to work for lunch or serve it at an outdoor dinner party with a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio for a break from the heat. The calamari can be added to the salad or served with the dip. • 1 (12 ounce) package calamari...

Dinners Under $15 - Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Okay, I’ll be honest, I have tried this yet, but it sounds flavorful and really easy for a quick meal or even something the kids can put together themselves with some supervision while placing it in the oven. Eggplant typically takes on the flavors of the foods it’s cooked with, so it’s...

Spinach and Cheese Pasta Shells

We are always looking for ways to sneak spinach into our kid’s diet. I wish my parents had done the same rather than just trying to serve me boiled, mushy, spinach, blech, because I really do enjoy it in foods. Pasta is really the quintessential place to add almost anything from meats to vegetables...

Pizza Quesadillas

Let’s face it, if they could, most kids would live on pizza. The one thing I love about living in the country is that we can’t get anything delivered to us, which takes away the temptation. Of course it also means we have to come up with other ways to make our favorite “fast”...

Mother's Day Tea

When my children were smaller we would always make reservations at a special tea luncheon for Mother’s Day as a special treat. They enjoyed acting like grownups, and I enjoyed showing them. Now I enjoy watching them try new things in the kitchen, so this Mother’s Day I’m encouraging...

Dinners Under $15 - Sausage and Sage Pasta

Pasta is huge in our house, so I like finding recipes that bring in other nutrients. This is a great dish for adding lots of protein to your routine, as well as great spice from the sausage and onions. I also suggest this meal for a romantic date night with your significant other. The smells filling...

Healthy Nachos?

Nachos aren’t exactly known as a nutritious snack, but they can be with just a few adjustments. Since nachos are one of those snacks that kids can grab on their own, they are perfect for a break for Mom and Dad and make the kids feel independent at the same time! First, start with an organic chip...

Fun Funnel Cakes

One of my kids favorite parts of the summer is visiting local amusements parks and fairs. They love the rides, the games, the shows, and of course having fun with friends and family. My favorite part…the food. Funnel cakes are at the top of my list of decadent, horribly unhealthy snacks. Yes,...

Dinners Under $15 - Citrus Chicken Fingers

Isn’t it funny how kids like so many foods that are cut into smaller pieces? In our house, chicken has always been on of those foods where at some point each kid swore they didn’t like it, but when you gave them a chicken finger the story was completely different. There’s not much difference...

Grilled Veggie Pinwheels

Although I don’t grill, I love eating what everyone else makes on the grill! So this recipe is right up my alley for the beginning of summer. It’s perfect to take along to the park, beach, and of course for after school snacks for the kids. It’s also a great way to add vegetables to...
