My favorite food is definitely pizza. It’s on my family’s meal plan as least once per week. These days we mostly order in, but we enjoy making it ourselves at home too. Here are few of my semi-homemade favorites! Many mistakenly think that pizza can’t be good for you. And I’m here to tell you […]

We are living in an unprecedented time; a time of uncertainty. worry. overwhelm. stress. confusion. You name it. During the next few challenging weeks (or months?) ahead I just want to reassure and provide validation that you can: take time to focus on your nutrition OR NOT. eating food that keeps you satisfied and content […]

Friendly reminder– you do NOT need to eat foods that you don’t enjoy! Forcing yourself to eating something you do not like, is not worth the effort! Here is your permission to Eat What You Love! It is important, of course though, to consider and to try to new foods, especially if you didn’t like […]

With all the busy-ness in our lives, I can’t help but feel the need to focus & share some basic recipes that are truly simple & easy, while also being nutritious and also delicious!

I honestly don’t know why I’ve never officially given these their own post!

I not only make these almost nightly with my family meals, but I often bring them […]

As we finish this last week of January I wanted to send a friendly reminder that – it’s ok if you aren’t into setting New Year’s resolutions but you may still feel the pressure to make dramatic goals and drastic changes this year It’s ok, too, if these past few weeks of 2020 haven’t started […]

I’m so ready for Thanksgiving. Anyone else? On the one hand I’m excited to have some cherished and quality time with my family, but on the other, I’m saddened and always amazed at how quickly time flies each year. Thanksgiving is an opportunity, I feel, to blend the old with the new. I strongly believe […]

Since I’ve gone back to work (just since late July), I have lost track of the number of times my family has gotten sick. My girls have both had fevers, ear infections, colds, more fevers with then vomiting and many trips to the doctor along the way. My husband got sick for a full week […]

I’m learning the truth behind the saying that – one of life’s biggest stresses is changing jobs. The adjustment to change, the newness, the constant mental workload-  I realized i needed to refill my cup – so to speak- and for me that meant I was in need of a family outing. So last weekend, we […]
