Mexican Black Beak and Brown Rice Bowl
Who knew having a kindergartner would be so difficult! She is busier than I am. I have been on the hunt for quick and easy recipes I can do while she’s tearing through the house after glee club, violin, cooking class, and soccer (see told you, busy lady!) We love the rice bowl at Chipotle…
Mini Turkey Meatloaf with Sweet Potatoes
As I write this I am sitting in my office looking out the window waiting for the Snowpocalypse to hit, aka Winter Storm Juno. When did we start naming winter storms? It seems strange to me. It seems like a way for weather people to get excited when it is not hurricane season. I guess they…
Paleo Salmon Cakes

Orange & Herb Brined Turkey Breast
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There I said it. I love Thanksgiving. I have the best childhood memories of this particular holiday. We usually spent it at my Grandma’s house, and we always feasted! Though she was born and lived much of her young life out west,(her birthday certificate lists her birth place as Indian…
Apple Roast Chicken
This week Jessica and I took a trip to Bold Rock Cidery in Nellysford, VA. This place is like Disney World for grown ups. It’s beautiful there and the cider is delicious! I have been hooked on their Virginia Draft for a while now, I can get it at my local grocery store. The fact…
Chocolate Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars
Over the weekend I decided it would be fun to go pumpkin picking. I have never actually done it before, but figure hey, might as well go straight to the source right? One of our local farms and wineries, Jones Tree Farm, offers pumpkin picking so I decided to give them a try. It…
