Jalapeno Turkey Meatballs
It has been a while since I’ve posted here and so much has changed. Across the globe we are confined to our homes, juggling work, parenting and connection, and just taking life one day at a time. Sleep isn’t as restorative as it was a few months ago (which says a lot coming from someone […]

Black Bean, Corn, and Turkey Chili [Instant Pot]

Growing up in a family that puts great value on tradition, holidays throughout the years have had familiar and comforting smells, sounds, games, and jokes.
