Homestyle chicken soup with a twist. Juice of 1/2 a lemon is the twist! It absolutely makes this soup delicious and bright. Lemons are so good for you, so it gives the chicken noodle soup recipe even more nutritional value. My 11-month-old daughter and I had the stomach flu this […]
Comfort food. That’s what chicken and rice is to me. It’s warm. Hearty. Nutritious. Flavorful. This recipe is a one pan plan, which means less dishes to do afterward (which I love). The recipe also uses a lot of what you may already have in your fridge, freezer and pantry. […]

I have been consistently drinking coconut water since I gave birth to my daughter. I read somewhere it is great for milk supply when breastfeeding, and it is also so good for hydration. Coconut water has so many incredible benefits due to its electrolytes, antioxidants and amino acids. I absolutely […]
This eggplant melt is one of my favorite summer bites. The combination of the creamy mozzarella cheese, crunchy bread, tender eggplant and juicy tomatoes creates a perfect summer melt. In the summertime, it’s easy to have these ingredients on hand. The tomatoes and eggplant are so juicy and vibrant in […]
It is officially Stone Fruit season! This recipe uses one of the stone fruits, apricots. This is a simple yet delicious dessert you can whip up for a quick snack or as a sweet dish for a barbeque. The apricot’s natural sweetness is the star, but the caramelization from the […]
