Hello there! I am so excited to welcome you back to the blog as we welcome a new season. It is getting noticeably cooler outside, and I am so excited. Fall is my favorite season for two main reasons – it brings the absolute best weather to Virginia, and combined […]
Story behind the recipe I have always loved salmon, but our local Wegman’s took it to a whole new level when they introduced their wild caught salmon. Either I haven’t noticed it before, or I never tasted salmon that good. I am now spoiled with it and can’t go back to […]
Italian Sausage is one of the very few things I always have on hand. I could sing praises to it all day, every day, because it truly deserves it. It is relatively inexpensive, especially when you evaluate what you get. It’s full of healthy fats, it’s delicious and perfectly seasoned, […]
My husband and I love Brussels sprouts, and whenever I ask him if he has a preference for a side dish, chances are – he will ask for the Brussels sprouts. I share our story with them here, in my original recipe. There I also share how to make them […]

As I am writing this post, it’s exactly two weeks since Valentine’s day. I shared all my feelings about this holiday in my previous post (spoiler alert – I love it). My husband and I celebrated at home and we loved every moment (and bite) of it. I’ve cooked for […]
