Recipes

Part of family life is found in the food! So we need recipes, right?

As we all know, a happy family is a fed family. I love to keep track of food that meets our family “stamp of approval.” Some, like our traditional birthday cake, chicken tikka masala and eggs Benedict, have become main staples for traditions. There are easy-peasy go-tos like apricot chicken, our delicious burrata appetizer, and the quickest flatbread.

So many recipes that make kids’ eyes light up.

And of course, there are plenty recipes for cookies. Because what is a life without cookies? It’s one of my favorite hobbies to collect recipes for those.

You’ll find categories for our favorite breakfasts, sides, salads, entrees, soups and of course, desserts.

Enjoy!
