Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
Growing up I HATED Brussels sprouts. My mom would buy a bag of frozen sprouts and cook them in the microwave. They smelled gross, were mushy and she would make me eat at least one. It was horrible. A few years ago, I had them prepared a different way and was amazed how amazing they… Continue reading Balsamic Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
Today's Earth Day and I'm excited to participate in a fun blogger challenge. In honor of today, a group of bloggers is sharing vegetarian recipes and/or sustainable food. My kids have been on a little boycott of all vegetables. Not sure why now, but I'm starting to work on them again. I'm looking forward to… Continue reading Lemon Garlic Orzo with Roasted Vegetables
My son loves soup and has been asking me to make it for him. Most of the soups I make are in the fall and winter, and wouldn't work for a hot summer night. I found this recipe for a light and brothy soup - perfect for summer! It's a full of delicious fresh veggies… Continue reading Minestrone Verde
Happy Sunday! I hope you're having a great weekend. We've had a low-key weekend and is exactly what is needed before a crazy, busy week. Last week, I picked up a CSA share from a local, organic farm and received a bunch of carrots, zucchini and kohlrabi. I never had kohlrabi before but knew it… Continue reading Veggie Fritters

We're all big fan of mushrooms here and this was another quick and easy recipe to make. All four of us gobbled it up without no complaints from the kids! I can wait to make it again when I can pick tomatoes and basil fresh from our garden. Speaking of gardens, I finally got mine… Continue reading Stuffed Portobellos
Having breakfast for dinner is one of our favorite meals and recently I'm looking for ways to sneak in veggies into our dinners. My kids have become picky and hate vegetables, but if I can sneak them into something there's a better chance of them eating them. Anyone else struggle with this? I don't know… Continue reading Squash and Kale Quiche
Lately my kids have been on a veggie strike and I'm not sure what happened! They used to be really good about eating vegetables, but lately any vegetable has been a no-go. They love sausage so I thought I would have a winner with this dish....nope, they turned their noses up at it. Both my… Continue reading Roasted Sausage, Brussels Sprouts and Squash
Lately I've noticed both of my kids are rejecting vegetables. I'm not sure what happened, they used to be so good about eating salads and now the mention sends them into a tizzy. So needless to say, I've been looking for ways to incorporate more vegetables into our meals without them being as noticeable. This… Continue reading Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli
