Whether you are looking for a yummy, healthy sweet treat for the upcoming summer months or you’re looking for a meal replacement shake, you’ve come to the right place.

Among friends and family, there’s a specific recipe that I’m known for: White Chicken Chili. What’s funny is that this is not a complicated recipe, it’s actually super easy to throw together for any amount of people, but everyone loves it and every fall it’s inevitable that someone will text me asking for the recipe. With all the holiday hustle and bustle, I love a meal that can be made with minimal ingredients in the crockpot. Plus it's even better the next day! My mom has cooked this chili for as long as I can remember and I’ve made a few changes over the years: one being the omission of corn because my husband is allergic, but you could...

Cold and flu season is upon us (not to be confused with the never-ending COVID season.) This chicken and rice soup is the perfect meal when you're feeling under the weather.

Nothing makes me feel more nostalgic than sitting around the table with family, enjoying a meal that I grew up loving. One of our favorites and one that has been passed down from my grandmother is her famous Zucchini Boats. I have vivid memories of watching my Grandma prepare these in her kitchen and the highlight of watching them bake with the oven light on. It's a simple recipe that requires little ingredients.
