It was one of those mornings! Running around trying to help my teen girls get their hair done. My high school daughter was already nervous because tonight is her first lacrosse game of the season. My middle school daughter just got over a terrible cold and was wishing she didn’t have to go back to…
The Best Hibachi Chicken

Philly Cheese Sandwiches
Do you remember back when we were all quarantined? Of course you do. Chef Michael Symon would cook dinner every night on Instagram, and we would all cook along with him. I learned so much! What I learned the most, because we were all limited in where we could go and what we could do,…
The best Navajo Tacos
I was asking my kids last night what sounded good for dinner and was coming up empty handed because “nothing” and “I don’t know” were the answers of choice. Then I remembered that everyone loves Sopapillas! Thankfully they’re a cinch, and so delicious. Throw in some taco toppings and you’ve got yourself a meal. Navajo…

The Best Brownies
It was about 11 last night, I was in bed, and my always hungry athlete stopped by my room, “Do we have any brownies or cookies?” We both knew we didn’t, but I know that I have limited opportunities with my kids who won’t be home for many more years. Life isn’t always fair, other…
Creamy Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
These enchiladas are simple and delicious! It’s always great to find meals that your family loves, and this one does not disappoint! I like to serve it with cilantro lime rice and a green salad or chopped cucumbers on the side. Use rotisserie chicken if you don’t have a lot of time, but I prefer…
Easy Snickerdoodle Cookies
It’s a crisp fall Sunday evening, and the kids are craving dessert. It’s 6 p.m., it’s dark, we’ve had dinner, and frankly I’m ready for bed. If I went to bed now I’d be up all night, so I decided to make cookies for my teenagers. These are quick and delicious, plus I had the…
