I’m posting a bit later than usual tonight because I’ve been filming a video in my very own kitchen. I’m being featured on several episodes of A Healthier Charlotte explaining quick and easy ways to incorporate healthy foods into a busy life. I’m so honored and excited to be a part of this and will definitely …

I am convinced that spinach is the most versatile vegetable in all the world. Not only can you put it in sweet smoothie and blend it into baked goods (so I’ve heard), you can basically put it in almost everything you eat. …including cheese sauce! Cheese sauce is one of those things I tend to stay …

Our first (and only) full day in Nashville started out with a really nice breakfast at Prime 108.   Lucky for us, Brad is a Marriott gold member so we received vouchers for $13 each for breakfast.  There’s a trade-off when your husband travels a lot.  You miss him terribly a few nights every week, …

If you’re cooking for two, like me.  Then you probably end up with leftovers all the time.  I’ve heard tell that some husbands exist …

A few days ago, I wrote about a lot of fun ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day if you are a foodie, like me. But my absolute favorite way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to cook for the person I love. I won’t be cooking this Valentine’s Day since we will be out of town.  But …

Every Valentine’s Day that I’ve ever celebrated with Brad centered on a very special meal.  We’ve gone to nice dinners and I’ve made some pretty fantastic dinners myself. We don’t make a huge deal out of Valentine’s Day.  I don’t expect sparkly earrings or anything like that, but we’ve often used it as an excuse …
