Chicken Tetrazzini

It’s still not quite feeling like fall around here and frankly I’m getting irritated. Fall is my favorite season and I’m ready for it to start. The leaves changing colors, the sweaters and scarves.  The one thing I usually have to warm up to is the food. I love grilling in the summer so it’s

Lightened Up Chicken Parmesan Skillet + More with Antonia Lofaso

When I was first contacted and asked if I was interested in interviewing Antonia, my first reaction was to turn it down. I thought there was no way I could do it. I’m an introvert. I don’t even like calling to order pizza and now I have to talk to this incredibly talented, famous chef?

Stovetop Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese

We’ve been majorly struggling with Noah’s eating habits these days. All he wants to eat is junk and I’m really starting to worry. I don’t know what caused it to happen so suddenly. We haven’t been eating perfectly lately but certainly not terribly. So I told him our vacation this week is the last hurrah

Homemade Ricotta Ravioli

Last week I registered Noah for Kindergarten. Yesterday, he had his pre-Kindergarten check up. Is this real life? I know us moms say this constantly, but where has the time gone? It’s seriously hard for me to comprehend that he will be in elementary school in a few short months. He will be away from

Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

We ran errands today with the car windows down. DOWN. It was 70 degrees outside. We’ve had quite frigid weather the past month or so with a decent amount of snow so it was a total miracle. And it’s supposed to be this nice all week. Do you think winter is maybe, just finally over?

Homemade Pasta

Homemade pasta is totally where it’s at. You’ll never want to go back to the store bought stuff and you won’t believe how simple it is. Only 3 ingredients to fresh, delicious pasta from scratch. Last week Noah and I were making macaroni salad and he was pretty insistent that we make homemade noodles for it.
