Yesterday was my 33rd birthday! When you have four kids, sometimes a birthday can feel like just another day, but I was lucky enough to have family and friends make me feel very special and loved. Phone calls, text messages, FaceTime calls, and cards and gifts were received all day. I even hired a babysitter to enjoy a kid-free lunch with a couple girlfriends! And a friend came over with her kids for cake in the evening, so all in all it was a very special day. Growing up, we always had yellow ... continue reading...
Veggie Farro Bowls
I love a good salad for lunch, but when the weather is cooler or I want to switch it up, I'm all about a warm grain bowl. Farro is the perfect grain for a grain bowl like this, because it is hearty and its texture holds up well next to the veggies and cheese. Also, farro is an excellent grain to make a large batch of in advance and enjoy them over a couple days. Some stores, such as Trader Joe's, have a quick cooking option. But even using the whole 30 minutes to cook a large batch is worth it, ... continue reading...
Red Pesto Pasta
I created this recipe on accident a few weeks ago, and my husband and I quickly agreed that it was one of the best pasta recipes that I had made! What is red pesto?

Cookies and Cream Brownies
A warm brownie topped with a scoop of ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce, and topped with whipped cream? That's the best dessert right there. And if you're using cookies and cream brownies? Even better! I have always loved a good, delicious, fudgy brownie and thankfully it's not too difficult to make them from scratch. Most of the ingredients used to make brownies can be found in the pantry of anyone who bakes even semi-frequently: flour, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla, oil. I ... continue reading...
Salsa Verde Enchiladas
I love a good enchilada recipe, and enchiladas are almost always what I order when I go to a Mexican restaurant. There's something about a tortilla with a yummy filling all topped with a delicious sauce. This is my take on a chili verde enchilada and while I can't verify its authenticity, I can definitely say that it's super delicious! These salsa verde enchiladas have a chicken and green chili filling wrapped in a flour tortilla and all topped with a creamy salsa verde sauce and a good handful ... continue reading...
