I pride myself in my meal planning abilities. Not to toot my own horn, but I think preparing food for the upcoming week and planning each night’s dinner is one of my best skills; that, and juggling. But raise your hand if you feel life has just become busy with a capital ‘B’? I can…

How To: Quickie Meal – One Pot Quinoa with Chicken, Vegetables, and Peanut Sauce
Do you know what I want more than anything in the world? I want there to be some kind of robot that will just follow me and my two girls around and continuously clean up after us. It seems that my entire day is spent cooking, feeding, and cleaning. And at the end of the…

Quinoa Granola
I’m normally a traditionalist when it comes to granola. Give me some oats, nuts, dried fruit, and maybe a handful or two of coconut, and I’m sold. Like our first homemade granola recipe – It’s just delicious! But here’s the thing – the 8 day holiday of Passover begins tonight. This means no leavened bread…
