It’s easy to plan meals solo, but what if you have a partner who has a different way of eating? What if your kids are picky eaters? Maybe you are in a situation where half your family eats meat and half don’t? This can make creating meals difficult…before you start ripping your hair out and […]

Delicious Salmon Patties
We all know that we should be eating fish at least once a week to benefit from it’s Omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, protein and more, especially so that we don’t always rely on supplements. What they don’t say is what if you get tired of the same ol’ fish filet? I had two […]
Roasted brussels sprouts and pasta
