Kate’s Thoughts for Food Meal Planning Service: Home-Cooking Made Fresh
I couldn’t resist taking this classic family favorite recipe and incorporating some serious spring vegetable flavor. I knew it would be another great way to include asparagus in my son’s diet, while still creating a dish that everyone in the family would love. I am not shy about my love of cheese and nothing gets [...]
Even though today is officially the start of spring, I couldn’t resist highlighting today’s vegetable in a belly warming soup. And depending on where you might be living, you might just appreciate a little extra warmth for this chilly March we seem to be having! Wow, I’m talking about the weather. I guess I like [...]

My green veggie quest continues this week and the star this time is spinach. I must admit that although I bear no resemblance to Popeye, spinach is probably my favorite green vegetable. It’s incredibly versatile, ridiculously healthy, and not too shabby in a smoothie. What more could you ask of the leafy little guy? Smoothies [...]
In honor of my Irish heritage and fellow O-postrophes, I am dedicating the month of March to being green! While for some that might mean your fair share of green beer or a shamrock or two, in my little food blog world it means paying homage to the modest green vegetable. All this month I’ll [...]

I think I’ve only ever eaten okra once in my life before I prepared today’s recipe. Strike that, I know I’ve only ever eaten okra once in my life before I prepared today’s recipe. My wonderful friend Sarah prepared traditional fried okra for one of our military family Thanksgivings, and I vaguely remember popping them [...]
As the self-proclaimed cheese lover that I am, it should come as no surprise that I absolutely enjoy a good lasagna. What’s not to love? They usually feature at least two to three types of cheese layered between delicious pasta and bubbling tomato sauce. But turns out they are also a wonderful way to incorporate [...]
Today’s recipe couldn’t get more simple, or more straight forward. It capitalizes on the intense flavor of juicy cherry tomatoes, the sweet crispness of bell peppers, and the succulence of grilled fish. I know that it seems like I am slacking on this recipe, but I promise you don’t need a lot of ingredients when [...]
For those of you fellow Marylanders, temporary or permanent, this week (July 21-29) is the Buy Local Challenge. The mission is to encourage consumers to take advantage of the amazing produce available by pledging to eat one thing from a local farm every day of the challenge week. It’s a wonderful way to draw attention [...]

For those who may not be familiar, Macaroni Kid is a group of publishers that focus on providing details for family-friendly events and activities in communities across the U.S. via a free weekly newsletter. It’s an incredible resource for finding things to [...]
