Now that I have a toddler in the house, we are adding new recipes to our collection. These banana pancakes are one of our little guys favorites. They’re easy to make, reheat easily, and they are a great, soft food for beginner eaters. Adult approved as well! Ingredients 1 Ripe Banana 2 Eggs Pinch of…

Pesto Gnocchi with Chicken
When time is tight, it’s helpful to have some easy but flavorful dishes on hand. I always keep a bag of gnocchi, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and green beans in the house. Whether you decide to bake your own chicken or buy pre-cooked, this is a delicious but approachable dinner even on the busiest days. Ingredients…
Norwegian Meatballs
Not to be confused with Swedish Meatballs, this family tradition recipe renders a tender, moist meatball that melts in your mouth. Christmas Dinner would not be complete without these meatballs sitting on a plate of mashed potatoes and topped with a creamy mushroom sauce. The ingredient list is for one pound of meat, or roughly…
Beef & Brown Rice Stuffed Peppers
This dish is one that stays on rotation in our home. It’s easy, flavorful, can be made in advance and makes for great leftovers. Historically, I have only added the cheese on the top of the peppers. As of late though, I have found myself adding cheese with each bite (calcium craving?!). Next time I…
Cherry Cream Cheese Danish
Every summer when we head north to be with family, my husband and I both try to claim to be from the Cherry Capital. I say it is Michigan, and he insists it is Wisconsin. While the dispute is ongoing, we do agree that both places grow delicious cherries. Whether you like them freshly picked,…
Nutbutter Oat Bites
For those on the go, (or for those of us that just had a baby!) these are the best snacks to have in the freezer. Loaded with protein and so much satisfying flavor, these bites are sure to curb that hunger and provide you with a boost of energy. The chocolate and dried fruit also…
The Full Farm Sandwich
Sometimes the healthy egg white breakfast won’t cut it. Sometimes it takes the full farm to please the palette. For those mornings, treat yourself with creamy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, guacamole, & gooey cheese all stacked on a crisp english muffin. *Ingredients below are for two sandwiches. Adjust as needed! Ingredients 4 Large Eggs 4…
Homemade Bolognese Sauce
I love bolognese. Shockingly though, as much as I order it out, I had never made it at home. I’ve made marinara, red sauce with meat, but never bolognese. So during this time of quarantine in the house, I decided I would dedicate a day to making this iconic Italian sauce. Dating back to the…
Gigi’s Thanksgiving Stuffing
My Mom, otherwise known as Gigi, is an incredible chef. I am lucky to have grown-up as a beneficiary of her cooking and an apprentice to her skills. She is modest when this is brought up but don’t let her fool you. How many nights do you deliver a dinner that consists of a protein,…
Turkey Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
We always keep ground turkey in our freezer. It’s a great, lean meat that defrosts quickly and is mild enough in flavor that you can make a wide variety of meals with it. One of my go-to dishes is ground turkey tacos but instead of a tortilla, I serve them in fluffy, baked sweet potatoes….
Harvest Blueberry Butter Crisp
Fresh blueberries with the undertone of lemon, the crispy, buttery topping… there’s not much not to like in this dessert. I’m not sure my husband even looked up when I served this the other night. The crisp is refreshing, satisfying and not over-filling. While this dish is tasty all year long, using in-season blueberries makes…
S’Mores Ice Cream Sandwich
When you think of nostalgic summer desserts, what do you think of? For me, I think of s’mores and ice cream. Sticky fingers by the fireside, melting drips on your shoes, and of course lots of laughs with family & friends. Being that we’re in Florida, summer nights rarely call for lighting the fire pit….
