I spent 6 years in my 20s living in the Dominican Republic. I met my husband there. My first son was there. A ministry and school near and dear to me are still there. And I hope to take our family back there one day soon. In the years that I spent there, I learned to cook and shop and meal plan. (Because when you have to walk to the grocery store and carry your bags home, … [Read more...]

Greek Pita-chos
The past couple of weeks have been filled with "Greek food" at our house. I made some Chicken Gyros, then did a Ground Beef version. And while enjoying the Ground Beef Gyros, I had the idea to transform them into Greek "Pita-chos" - like nachos...with pita chips...with this very delicious, lemony ground beef on top. And then, took it "next level" and added some tzatziki … [Read more...]
Very Berry Parfait Smoothie Bowl
We love smoothies around here and recently, we've switched to eating more smoothie bowls...and here's why. We have 2 boys who take "powder supplements" for various reasons, including Charlie who recently gave himself "kissing bone bruises" in his left knee. He hasn't been able to walk for 2 weeks now and we're looking at months of recovery. I did some research on natural … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Pastas are my new MOST FAVORITE THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. For now, anyways. Because my other favorite thing in the whole wide world is the Multi-Cooker.

Buttery Salmon
I love a simple salmon fillet. Especially one that's dripping in butter and seasoning. Salmon is such a great meal, but it's usually pretty expensive at the store. And often unadvertised, if/when it's on sale. Every time I'm in the store, I buzz by the seafood counter between the produce and meat sections and I always scan the price tags, looking for salmon, cod and … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Citrus Salmon Foil Packs
So flaky, tender and flavorful! We love foil pack meals - they are great for grilling out in the backyard, for baking in the oven on a chilly late winter weeknight, AND in the INSTANT POT. That's right - drop those foil packs into the Instant Pot and let it take care of the cooking for you. Because the way that an electric pressure cooker uses heat and pressure to … [Read more...]
