Getting more greens in my diet has been a huge goal of mine this year. I’m a super fan of sautéed kale, chard, whatever- and a few of my kids love them too. Some of my other kids, not so much. I’ve been looking for ways to include these super foods into things they already […]
eat: Tortellini with Basil and Pecans
June 2, 2014 by
from the archives: Originally posted May 8, 2012 One day at the grocery store (in a flying 15 minute trip), I picked up some pre-made tortellini and some parmesan cheese. I knew I wanted pasta for dinner, and had some cream and tons of fresh basil at home. That’s all I knew. At 6:45 I […]

Food on the Cheap: Using Whole Chicken
March 3, 2014 by
