Everyone loves pizza right!?!?  I'm not the biggest fan, because I'm so dang picky, but one thing I do love is a good warm soup.  As we enter into fall I'm dreaming about all things soup and comfort. When my family owned an Italian restaurant, one of my favorite dishes was the pizza soup.  Having little kids, I knew this was something I needed to make for them. It can be altered just ... continue reading...

You guys!  I can't even begin to tell you about the deliciousness of this dish!  There was a sale on Beef shoulder at the grocery store a month back but I had no idea what I was going to do with it.

My husband and I were getting tired on the way we looked and I especially was scared of getting into a bathing suit.  I'm not one to do diets, because I can't stick to them.  I have a hard time eating things that aren't full flavored, which is the case with most diets.

I love cobb salad and I love Steak so I decided to create a salad mixing those two worlds.  Every cobb I've ever had has chicken.  I do like a good chicken, but I'm trying to incorporate more beef into my life due to an iron deficiency. My big problem with the traditional cobb salad are eggs, because I'm sorry but eggs don't belong on a salad, and the use of iceberg lettuce.  Iceberg ... continue reading...

Guys, this is the best Kale salad hands down.  I was one to steer clear of kale until I had a kale salad at a friends house and found elements of it to be quite delicious.  I immediately went home and tried to create the best kale salad. I'm anemic, which means I have to be conscious of my iron intake.  Kale is a great way to get more iron in your diet the natural way.  I want to be healthy for ... continue reading...

Every summer my mom would go buy strawberries in bulk during peak season.  Whenever there were lots of strawberries she served this amazing strawberry poppyseed salad. This has always been a favorite of mine and is perfect when the heat rises.  I hate turning on the oven or standing over a grill when we start reaching above 100 degrees so this salad is a great go during the summer months.  ... continue reading...
