This week is just a little bit off track. Thankfully, my LA-Philly red eye didn’t completely destroy me for a week like it did earlier this month. However, my kids had donuts twice this week and I wasn’t cooking Monday night. My oldest son came to the rescue and kept Operation: Eat Down the Freezer…
Operation Eat Down the Freezer has begun with meal plan number 1. If you are looking for creative ways to combine ingredients by “shopping” your freezer and pantry, this might help you. I hope. Just for fun, if you look at my list of meals and say, “I don’t have any of that”, I want you…

I’m all about planning ahead when it comes to food but on the big holidays it can be easy to focus on the big event or meal and forget about breakfast or brunch. Sure, you could just pop a few bagels in the toaster and call it a day but what if breakfast could be…
