As you can probably imagine, life has been pretty busy around here lately. Our recent move has left me scrambling to get our new house in order, and with three kids around, that isn't always easy. Even with Max off in kindergarten most of the week now, I still have Ella and Theo at home, and even though things are slightly easier with just two, they still require a lot of my ... Read More
Berry Fizz Smoothies, That Are Anything But Bland
I'm fairly certain that there was a collective "hooray" exclaimed by moms everywhere over the last few week as our kids headed back to school. With this being my oldest child's first year of kindergarten, I was sad for approximately one day, before I realized that school is exactly where he needs to be, and that my life is marginally easier with only two kids at home. With that ... Read More
Coffee Toffee Crunch Brownies | #illyinspires
At this point, I feel like it goes without saying that my days are mostly motivated by coffee. With three kids under the age of five, a recent move, and a gig where I work from home, I need all of the inspiration that I can get. It's pretty rare that I get much time to myself these days, but I recently made it my goal to try to get up before my kids each day, so that I can ... Read More
Greek-style chicken burgers with Pepperoncini Aioli
I don't don't know about you guys, but in our house, Burgers have been a long-time favorite of ours when it comes to dinner options. As much as I enjoy a traditional hamburger with ketchup and mustard, sometimes it's fun to put a unique spin on something expected, by turning it into something unexpected. Gourmet-style burgers are all the rage right now, and ... Read More
Eat Healthy, Eat Local | Fresh Strawberry Salsa
Here in upstate New York, when summer rolls around, it's all about eating local. Perhaps it's because the winters are long, and there are really only a few short months when the climate is optimum for growing fresh produce. Regardless, one thing is for certain, people here love to eat healthy, pick their own fruit, and to shop the trendy local farmer's markets. There is just ... Read More
Chopped Pasta Salad
It's a little out of character for me to post more than one recipe in the same week, but the other night, I prepared one of our favorite salads for dinner. Naturally this means that I jumped on the opportunity to shoot some photos of it, in order to share it with you guys. Last summer, Mystic, Connecticut quickly became one of our favorite places to travel with the kids. We ... Read More
Edible Oatmeal Cookie Dough
It seems like edible cookie dough is all the rage right now. My friend, Chanel, recently took a trip to New York City, where her and a friend enjoyed a taste test at the famous dŌ. You can read all about, and drool over her photos here. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally on board with this trend. I've always been the type of girl who loved a spoonful of raw cookie dough, despite ... Read More
Super Simple Homemade Rustic Bread
Despite the fact that my husband and I have drastically cut back on our intake of processed carbohydrates over the last few months, we both agreed recently that we were really missing bread. We decided that it was time to treat ourselves, and Ezekial bread just wasn't going to do the trick. I had been wanting to try my hand at baking a loaf of rustic-style bread at home for ... Read More
Sugar-Free Black Cherry Mojitos
As many of you know, since the beginning of this year, my husband and I have been making a pretty solid effort to reduce our intake of foods that are made with artificial ingredients. We cut out basically anything processed, and kicked our sugar habits to the curb, and I have to say, it feels really good knowing that we're only putting real, whole foods into our bodies. The one ... Read More
Curried Chicken Salad
I kind of have a thing for chicken salad. For a long time, I ate it nearly every day for lunch. There was this little deli across the street from the spa where I used to work, and I made a tradition out of walking over daily, and buying a big scoop. Occasionally I would throw it between two slices of bread and enjoy a sandwich, but for the most part I would scoop it onto a bed ... Read More
