I love zucchini and during the summer there is an abundance this fresh vegetable. You can find them in different sizes.  I like mine in a medium size and a darker green yet firm.  I have noticed the smaller zucchini are sweeter in flavor and the super large ones do tend to taste bitter.

Zucchini can be consumed raw or cooked and there are so many ways to enjoy and I will share my recipes with you for anytime!

Let’s talk about cabbage.

It’s not really the hot topic of Friday night get-togethers these days but I bet you didn't know all the interesting things about it and fun and yummy ways you can use it in the kitchen. The often underappreciated cousin of Brussels sprouts, Broccoli and Cauliflower, cabbage can be either smoothed or crinkle leafed. It also comes in green, purple and white, which makes it a fun and easy way to add some colorful garnish to your finished meal.

My new Bella Dots Collection 2.0 2-Slice Toaster has to be my new favorite addition to the kitchen. Not only does it look great with the rest of my décor, but I haven’t burnt my toast once. I’ve always struggled to find the perfect toaster.

I just love one-pot meals.  The best part about this recipe is you can do all of the chopping up in advance and when you are ready to cook just take out that one pan!  Use a pretty pan and bring it from stove to table..  A delicious Paleo Recipe for Everyday to Gourmet!

I love my Braising Pans for most of my one-pot recipes!

As favorite summer fruit, eggplant can be found globally in almost any supermarket, just waiting to be grilled, stuffed, baked, fried, and eaten in a wide selection of dishes.

Eating together as a family is an important time to bond as a family and discuss important matters together. Eating meals together helps a family grow closer and enjoy each other. However with work, school, after school sports and activities, sometimes it seems nearly impossible to get together as a family for meal times. Therefore, you should plan meals ahead of time so that everyone can eat together.

            There is nothing I love more on Christmas than filling the space under the Christmas tree with awesome gifts that my entire family will love. However, this has become extremely expensive to do, especially if you are like me and you have a huge family. In recent years I simply have not had enough cash to buy presents for every single person in my family. This has forced me to get a little more creative and start making homemade presents for my family members. Here are some homemade gift ideas that are sure to impress everyone on your shopping list this year.

A private chef allows you to enjoy meals in your home that meet your lifestyle, diet or desire.
