You all know my passion is bringing people back to the table again. Uniting people with food. Even more so teaching people that cooking at home doesn't have to be hard. And that starts by involving our children from the get go. Showing them it can be fun, easy, yet delicious. My little guy (aka my sous chef) knows as soon as I pop on the music in our kitchen, its time to get dinner started. He pulls up his little stool and looks forward to digging his hands in and help i

Turkey Pot Pie..... is there anything else better? This comfort food recipe wins over my family every time. These pies are a standard after Thanksgiving and Christmas in our household. We are a family of 3 and often have TONS of turkey leftovers after these holidays. Why I love this recipe over the others is because it holds strong.

Why DIY chalk painting furniture is super easy. Guys, in the past I've refinished a bare minimum of 5 pieces of furniture. From stripping paint off (gross), to painting, and even staining two dressers to look alike.
