Let me start by saying that I love, no adore, Cuban food. I mean, they really know how to season their food. Last night I was really needing a change to our normal diner routine and I’ve made a beef roast that is very similar in the past and it’s delicious, but I think I …
Almond Crusted Salmon
This dish totally caught me by surprise. What I mean is that I am not a big fish lover and I just always figured salmon was not something I would probably like. My mind told me that it tasted fishy…not sure why because I can’t remember ever eating or even trying it! What also surprised …
Delicious Kale Salad
Have you ever given your kale a massage? I’m serious! This is a snazzy little trick I learned from The Academy of Culinary Nutrition. Have you ever had a big bowl full of kale and wonder why people love it so much? It can be bitter and tough. Well, no longer my friend! Next time, …
Amazing Fish Tacos!
Let me start off by saying I’m not the biggest seafood lover. I’m really trying to like fish though. I feel like there are so many health benefits and I want my kids to grow up liking it as well. I found a grocery store by our house that gets fresh, local, wild-caught fish every …

Pork Carnitas
It’s time I start updating some of my recipes. This one is definitely a family favorite and it’s so versatile. I use it for tacos, my pork chili verde, salads, burrito bowls, and even with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Once upon a time, I was in a hurry to get dinner ready (oh wait, that’s …
New BBQ sauce recipe!
Whew, life has been busy lately! I feel like some stages of life are for rest and some are for hustle, and our current stage is definitely all about the hustle! I actually thrive on hustle, so I’m not complaining. Actually there’s not even time to complain…just enough time to cross off items on my …
Egg Roll in a Bowl
Egg roll in a bowl…isn’t this the cutest idea? It’s so stinkin easy, I think I may be making this way more often. With all of the great flavors, it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. It can totally be eaten right in the comfort of your big, cozy bowl, or it can be wrapped up in …
Chili – comfort in a bowl!
It’s getting cold outside and that means it’s time for chili. I love making this because it’s all made in one pan and I always make enough to have left overs. It requires few ingredients and can be thrown together in a hurry! I also usually have all the ingredients in my home without having …
