It’s simple, but all you need are these sweet potatoes as the star. I really, really enjoy Japanese sweet potatoes, more than regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, or any other type. True, they’re not in every grocery, but they’re available in enough places (I can think of three places that I often shop at that carry…

Garlic and Wine Sauce Pasta with Salmon and Caper Berries
This dinner was created so we could eat caper berries – but they aren’t even necessary! I was having a salad at a restaurant in Israel when I came across something I’d never seen or tasted before. It tasted mostly like a caper, but it was like a caper on steroids! About the size of…

Crock-Pot Chicken and Potatoes
Because, some days, you need to leave your house knowing that dinner will be waiting for you when you walk through that door. Coming home, after being out working all day, to a cooked dinner, sounds like the solution to all problems. Right? If we could just nail dinner, we would be fine. And true,…

One Pan Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Why didn’t we think of this before? The one pan, no mess, family-friendly chicken dinner that everyone will love. One of the team members recently asked the others, “Do you remember how long we used to spend cooking dinner?” As newlyweds, dinner used to take all day to make. Then we learned to make dinner…
Watermelon-Strawberry Frozen Drink
“Tastes like Rita’s”–that’s what my kids said when I gave them a cold cup of freshly blended frozen drink. Yay! Moms, if you cringe at the amount of sugar consumption in the summer and wish refreshing treats could be wholesome, you’re going to love this recipe. There’s some technique here, so pay attention the first…
Cilantro Lime Roasted Corn & Avocado Salad
This one uses canned corn, but you’d never know. I have so many things to say about this recipe! First, I know that cilantro usually has a “Ew we don’t eat that” type of reputation in some cooking circles and I was also totally like “I’ll sub parsley or basil” (which you totally could) too…
The Best Homemade Beef Jerky
You will never buy jerky again. We can promise you that. So, let me explain this to you, in a way that you will understand, without saying too many words, about how my boys have been bragging about the “jerky that my mom made” to anyone willing to listen. Also, I became the cool mom…
