Fresh & Delicious recipes from our kitchen to yours
Over Labor Day weekend we took the kids to the beach with some of my family. Now I typically pack snacks of the cracker variety for such outings so I was surprised when my Aunt Patricia pulled out a giant freezer bag full of marinated green beans from her cooler. […]
My mother is without a doubt our family’s queen gardener and when her basil plants went crazy this year it seemed like pesto was simply meant to be. And so it was. Homemade pesto is one of my husband’s favorite things in the world to eat so you can imagine […]
Without a doubt this braised red cabbage and fennel recipe is one of my favorite fall side dishes. It’s incredibly easy to throw together, makes a huge pot that can last through the week and tastes fantastic. I love serving it with meat, especially pork, and mashed potatoes and it […]

This is one of those set it and forget it recipes that makes you remember why you even got that slow cooker in the first place. Rich, flavorful beef chuck roast is slow cooked to perfection with chiles and spices until it is tender and smoky. I love it in […]
Does anyone remember those delicious casseroles our moms used to make with chicken, broccoli, and the ever present cans of cream of mushroom soup? Well I do, and they were delicious. This equally delicious, albeit healthier take on the classic casserole has all of the comfort of the original with […]
