Lasagna comes in layers, yet it never comes in a jar – until now. I often sit and admire both the beauty and the practicality of the “salad in a jar” trend. The bold and bright layers of goodness, stacked upon each other, bursting in green, red, yellow and all sorts of other gorgeous goodness…

I originally created this recipe for Basil Ginger Meatballs nearly two years ago. While we often eat the same things over and over again ~ night after night of the “kitchen sink” staple (I know it doesn’t seem that way – the interwebs are all a silly illusion), it really was time to re-create this…

There are simply those days when I feel like I need a power boost of protein. I just CRAVE it. You know what I mean? The fresh, clean energy of just pure protein. And we’re talking real protein here, real food. Not just a powder or a bar. REAL protein. Next to water, protein makes…

We eat meatballs a lot in our house. And by a lot, I mean a lot. They are easy, fairly quick, and can take on any sort of “theme” for the evening. Whether they are Rosemary Venison, Mediterranean, Lemon Thyme and Bison, Spicy Cilantro and Turkey Balls, or Basil Ginger (you get the picture), they…

I don’t feel as though I’m amazing at cooking meat. This may come as a bit of a surprise, considering the fact that I post “meaty” recipes on a regular basis. Perhaps I’m too self-critical. In any case, roasts are a particular challenge to me. This also may be due to my preference for other…

In light of family traditions, we’ve been working hard to create some of our own. With a recent move and a whole host of changes, establishing traditions has been tough. Each of us brings a mix of emotion and an album of memories to the table. Some of those memories reveal true blessing, while others…

Oh an ode to my “Minion” friend. Really, no one knows what this little reference means, yet, I insist on supplying it anyway. Over the past few months I’ve been overly delighted to be working in a temporary editing job with a group of nine other amazing “minions,” as we refer to ourselves. It’s…
