Vacation is nice but it’s always great to get back home. My family and I had a great time in Cape May, NJ our favorite beach destination but after focusing so hard on eating healthy at home vacation definitely took a physical toll on us. It’s so hard to eat well (or wanting to eat well for that matter) while away from home. Two days into vacation my husband and I began feeling sluggish and worn down. We got plenty of sleep so we definitely blamed the food we were consuming. Now we are back home and don’t have any plans for the weekend so I can cook everything fresh and complete my shopping at the farmer’s market. I was so happy to see…

So now it is official….the first day of Summer has passed and the weather outside is being relentless. As the temperature soars, my appetite decreases. I don’t know what it is, but once it gets hot out, I don’t want to eat. Ice cream on the other hand, now that I can eat! I start to eat more veggies and fruits and cold meals like burritos and salads. My recipes definitely get more veggie based and I drink more water than my bladder can handle. I have recently started making a lot of iced tea (brewed from teabags, not the powdered stuff) and flavored waters (water with fruits and herbs). However you will deal with the start of the hot season, we can all…

Half-way through June already! We have so many things planned for this summer I’m afraid it will just fly by. Only 9 more days until we are laying on the beach. There’s nothing more relaxing than the smell of the ocean air. One of my favorite parts of vacation is sitting on the balcony with my husband after the kids have gone to bed, reading my Nook and listening to the waves crashing. Our hotel has this fabulous morning buffet that I can’t wait to eat at and a few blocks down there is a restaurant that serves crab cake sliders that I have been thinking about for a year! It’s definitely going to be different for us eating out so much. We’ve been…

I feel like summer is the busiest season for me. Every weekend I have plans for something….BBQ’s, concerts, and other events (like Comic Con!). Between work, home life and all these other happenings, I get really tired and need time to just relax. Gardening, reading and shopping help me take a break from all the chaos. I am a total control freak and plan and organize everything; I have to just crack open a beer and enjoy the sun. I cannot wait until our vacation in August. I have planned a totally awesome trip to California that will include tons of hiking (Yosemite, here we come!) and wine tasting (aaah, Wine Country). Until then, I will try to relax more and give you guys…

Wow June already! The countdown for our beach vacation is on. It’s so much different having kids at the beach. Rest and relaxation is replaced with swimming lessons in the hotel pool and making sand castles on the beach! Three nights away and I will come home exhausted and looking forward to returning to work! Like Alex we cook as many meals as possible on the grill during the summer and we are always looking to experimenting with new types of food on the grill and I plan on sharing all my successes! The bin this week contains: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Asparagus, Strawberries, and Peas (Lancaster), Turnips, Arugula, Carrots (Salvaterra Gardens) Broccoli/ Cauliflower/ Carrots These are the 3 most common vegetables that I serve on my…
