My motto is that weeknight meals must be healthy, quick and simple. Weekends — not weeknights— are for more complicated and time-consuming recipes. When I want to grab something to fit my weeknight criteria, I head to Trader Joe’s. Today I chose Sausage & Peppers with Zoodles. You will love the simplicity of making this meal, and your family will love eating it!

Manners with Mema
September 9, 2014 By
Sometime in the mid 1950s, my grandmother, Nancy Helm Weaks, self published a book: Dig These Crazy Manners! I don’t believe I ever saw it while she was still alive.

Not only was Mema a clever writer and an expert on impeccable manners, she was also an illustrator and had beautiful handwriting. Mema {Read More}

Spicy Paleo Crackers
August 30, 2014 By
I’m trying to follow the paleo diet. And for the most part, I really enjoy it! I love meat, vegetables, eggs, nuts and fruit. But I do miss the crunch of crackers. Especially when the husband breaks out his cracker du jour after work (Carrs, Triscuits, Wheat Thins… all weaknesses of mine). I decided to create a cracker I can enjoy, guilt free! And so my Spicy Paleo Crackers recipe was born. They turned out quite tasty and fulfilling! Plus {Read More}
