Several weeks my friend, Beth, sent me a free trial to Blue Apron. She had been using the service for a while and loved it so decided to share it with me. I had heard a lot about Blue Apron so I was thrilled when she sent me the free trial. A few weeks ago…
Easter Lunch Recipes
Can you believe it is already Easter this weekend? Easter is one of my favorite holidays because of the significance it has for Christ followers. If Jesus had not died and risen again, there would be no basis for the Christian faith. I love going to church on Easter and celebrating the new life we…
Strawberry Caprese Salad
With the impending arrival of spring, my tastebuds have moved on from hearty soups and stews to lighter fare like fresh salads. One of my favorite spring/summer dishes is a Caprese salad. Traditionally this salad is made from tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. This version I created replaces the tomatoes with strawberries which is a fun, fruity…
Restaurant Style Salsa
If I had to pick one snack food to live on the rest of my life, chips and salsa just might be it for me! Kevin is also a lover of chips and salsa and between the two of us, we eat a ridiculous amount in our house. Sometimes we will buy store bought salsa…
How to “Hard Boil” Eggs in the Oven
One of my favorite things about lazy Saturday mornings is getting to curl up on the couch with my coffee/tea while watching The Kitchen on Food Network. It is one of my absolute favorite shows! For those of you who aren’t familiar, The Kitchen is basically a foodie talk show and the hosts are hilarious! …
Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew
Since starting Whole 30, I have been forced to find new recipes that are compliant with the program but also aren’t “too healthy” sounding to Kevin (ie. kale everything). This Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew definitely fit the bill. Even my meat and potato loving husband didn’t miss the white potatoes in this dish. Sweet…

Pasta with White Beans and Spinach
I am a huge pasta lover! One of the reasons I was hesitant about trying out a gluten-free diet is not being able to eat pasta any more. Lucky for me, there are tons of gluten free pasta options! Our favorite kind that we have tried so far is the Barilla Gluten Free Pasta which…
Where to Dine for Valentine’s Day
When I think of Valentine’s Day, I think Italian food. For our first Valentine’s Day in Chicago, we celebrated with dinner at Mia Francesca in Lakeview. Francesca’s has 20 different locations around the Chicagoland area so we have made it a tradition to dine at a different location every February 14th. This year our reservation is…
Baked Donuts with Chocolate Glaze
The donut craze has been huge in Chicago over the past year with new speciality stores opening in almost every neighborhood. You can get flavors like maple bacon, banana nutella pretzel, lemon pistachio, and the list goes on. For Christmas a couple of years ago, I got a donut pan and have loved having the option of…
