In two short weeks both of my kids will fly the coop and nestle themselves in the backwoods of Main for 7 weeks of sleepaway camp. Lucky for me, I still do love my husband and I still cherish our time together. I'm looking to these next few weeks as an opportunity to share quality time and experiences and conversation that are otherwise robbed from us when we're in the throws of parenthood. Additionally, I'm looking forward to some no bake recipes, and others that I know for certain, one or both of my kids might not eat. For a simple … [Read more...]

With the temperatures creeping up and a few layers being shed, I find myself turning to my recipes that help to lighten up our meals. The Eggplant Eggplant Cauliflower Sage Soup from Serena (aka Seriously Soupy) is one of my soupy faves. While it's not traditionally thought of as a warmer-weather food, soups are an easy way to enjoy the freshest foods from your local farmers’ markets while also enjoying a healthy and quick meal option. Much has been touted about cauliflower for its health benefits that Serena was prescient to think it … [Read more...]
