Roasted broccoli is one of my go-to side dishes at home and at work because it’s always a crowd pleaser. And while delicious simply roasted with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, I figured why not jazz it up a bit with some feta, toasty pine nuts and chili pepper? If you want to … Garlic and Chili Roasted Broccoli with Feta and Pine Nuts
I love using my cast iron skillet for a variety of dishes, but pizza is one of my favorites.

Nothing beats a dish that looks and tastes gourmet, but is ready in under 25 minutes.

I recently became a Costco member (I know, how did it take me this long?) and I am obsessed with all of their healthy options. Last night I stocked up on all the organic beef, turkey and chicken.

We absolutely love salty foods in our household. In fact, I think Josh stocks up on olives at least once a week.

Whenever I’m on any sort of tropical vacation, I look forward to finding plantains on the menu.
