Cooking Class: Meal Planning 101 & Building Your Perfect Pantry
A few easy steps and a well-stocked pantry will get you on the meal planning path!
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of starting a Cooking Connect group at my church. For eight weeks we will gather together, learn some new skills and tips, cook, share life, and enjoy a meal together. It’s my hope that at the end of our eight weeks we’ve all been inspired to slow down and savor those moments together. During our first time together, we discussed my process for meal planning…

Party Time: Lemon Herb Bocconcini
This easy appetizer comes together just in time for New Year's Eve!
This is the absolute easiest “fancy” appetizer I have in my repertoire and it’s perfect for New Year’s Eve snacking! It comes together super fast and you can prep these ahead of time. In fact, they’re best if you let the cheese hang out in the fridge and marinate for a couple days. Lemon Herb BocconciniServes: 8-10 ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil1 Tablespoon fresh basil, chopped1 teaspoon fresh…

Dinner Tonight: Chicken Parmesan
My favorite Chicken Parmesan is always a crowd pleaser!
We have entered that limbo between Christmas and New Year where time has stopped, I don’t know what day it is, I live on cookies and coffee, I haven’t gotten out of these stretchy pants in three days…you get my point. I needed to change things up a bit for dinner tonight so I decided to whip up my Chicken Parmesan. It’s one of my favorite things to make and despite what you might think it is…

Holiday Happy Hour: Chai Tea Mulled Cider and Spiced Cranberry Orange Spritz
Cheers to the holiday season!
Holiday parties can be a bit weird when you work remote but you make the most of it with ugly sweaters and cocktails in the middle of the afternoon! I created these two cocktails for our team party this week and they were a hit. I like to have both a hot and cold cocktail option at get togethers and these can be batched to make things easier on yourself. They will add a festive spirit to your…

Happy Hour: Who Spiked the Eggnog?
Who Spiked the Eggnog? Could've been me!
I can’t even remember when this became a tradition with my in-laws but now we can’t go through the holiday season without spiking the eggnog! We love to get cozy around the fire, by the light of the Christmas tree and laugh and tell stories. Chances are we’ll probably have pizza rolls on a silver platter too, lol. What are some of your quirky holiday traditions? The better the quality eggnog,…

Dessert First: Cranberry Gingerbread Trifle
Quick and easy is the name of the game for this Cranberry Gingerbread Trifle. It's the perfect showstopper for your next holiday party!
Like a lot of people, I love to bake during the holidays. BUT I like to keep my “complicated” baking to cookies, the occasional pie, and of course my Grandma’s Waldorf Astoria Cake. So what do I do when I’m short on time and have to whip something together a dessert to take to a holiday party? I take some help from a boxed cake mix or, even easier, my grocer’s bakery and make a trifle. There’s…

Soup's On: Classic French Onion Soup
This Classic French Onion Soup is perfect for a chilly night. The time it takes to caramelize the onions is totally worth it!
My husband LOVES French onion soup. Like seriously LOVES. So what did I do for our 20th anniversary AND to celebrate his birthday this month? I made it of course! To make a proper French onion soup it takes time. A lot of time. But it is so worth it. And your kitchen will smell amazing while you’re waiting! Don’t rush the onions, let them cook low and slow for as long as you can until they are…

Today is a bittersweet day as I close a six and a half year chapter of my life at Second Harvest. I am grateful for my coworkers, donors and the beautiful souls I have met out in the community during that time. They have made me a better, more compassionate human being and I can't thank them enough for sharing their lives and experiences with me. I am excited for what's next and hope that I take their passion and dedication to my next chapter. I'm just going to live in my feelings for a few days. Don't mind me...it's just a little dusty in here...😭🥰 #feedinghope #fightinghunger https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2QvebuLU-649YP4V9GrtqyuXWOAb7xdfrrAU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
