Somewhere between school drop off and pickup I should be thinking about what's for dinner and at the very least, defrosting some meat and figuring out the rest later. There are some days I blink and dinner miraculously comes together with ease, and there are other days that I give in to the leftovers or frozen meals just to get everyone's bellies full. With so much talk about slow cookers and pressure cookers, I knew it was time I got out of my ...

A Perfect Meal – BBQ Chicken Pasta #PastaFits #MC #Sponsored
Pasta is a staple in our home, and I'm pretty sure it's true for many parents of picky eaters. My girls go through phases of wanting pasta everyday to not wanting it for a few weeks. Now that school is in session and our busy schedule is in full swing, pasta helps me create quick, healthy meals for dinner. The problem? While my girls are happy with plain pasta, my hubby and I like more variety. Perhaps a "dressed up" pasta. This is ...
Easy Weeknight Food Prep Using Pasta! #PastaFits #MC #Sponsored

I always find the ...
Hearty Beef Stew Recipe Featuring Gallo Hearty Burgundy #HBturns50
I wasn't always a wine drinker, and at one point I never thought I would be. So, when I would look at menus that would show the best wines to accompany certain meals, I didn't get it- couldn't you drink any wine with any type of dish- why were red wines recommended for red meats while white wines always seemed to go with fish? I guess I would never understand until I was introduced to the world of wines and their distinct personalities. After I ...

Sausage with Beans and Greens
I'm always looking for really easy meals that are healthy and packed with nutrients. So, when I walked into Trader Joe's the other day I was browsing the veggie section.... but not exactly sure of what I wanted to make for dinner. I noticed that with their packaged salad/greens they had a mix of greens complete with some recipes on he back. The first recipe called for an onion, sausage, chicken stock and this bag of greens containing mustard, ...
