Instant Pot Chicken, Mushroom, and Rice
On the eve of a new decade I sit here celebrating that which closes and the many ways that it will leave indelible marks on all to come. I’ve never been a fan of ‘top ten’ lists – and always find creative ways to avoid that topic when it comes up at dinner parties, but at […]
One Pot Chicken Sausage and Spinach Bowtie Pasta
“Read 1000 books before Kindergarten!” says a small sign at our local library highlighting a program encouraging early literacy. YES! We are in! I grabbed a bag and examined the rules. They allow for flexibility saying that its ok to re-read books or track discrete books, whatever works for you. All they ask is that […]
Salsa and Spinach Egg Muffins
100 years ago, here in my hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, there was a tank explosion which sent a 15 foot wave of molasses careening into the city at 50 feet per second.

We’ve thrown fresh mint into mojitos, rosemary into a gin & tonic, and basil into a blender with ice, raspberry preserves, and vodka – yum! (Can you tell we are in summer mode over […]
Spinach and Artichoke dip with Shrimp
Each year my husband and I throw a shrimp fest, yes, you heard that right, a festival of potluck style dishes that include shrimp in some way. This year folks went over the top and now I have a whole host of new recipes that I’ll eventually need to make and post on here on […]
Cauliflower Topped Shepard’s Pie
Happy Pi Day! In honor of this amazing nerdy holiday (and St. Patricks day right around the corner) I’ve made a healthy shepherd’s pie that uses cauliflower instead of potatoes and is filled with beef and lentils. I first made this beef and lentil shepherd’s pie with the traditional potato topping and it quickly became […]
Sweet Potato, Spinach, Sausage, and Shallot Egg Muffins
“You don’t need fixing – you are perfect just the way you are!”- Adriene Mishler January 1st has arrived and I’m ready to close the door on 2017 and enter 2018 with an open mind. This will be my third year kicking off the year with a 30 days of yoga series put out by […]
