Love is the best ingredient… DadChef and I celebrated 15 years of marriage (26 years of couplehood) last week and had some fun in la Cucina making all the lovey dovey foods together.

We just spent the weekend doing our annual pre-holidays mission purge & declutter in between rink-hopping and woke up to our first snowfall of the season, and when I think of a cold weather comfort meal that warms our large brood’s bellies, clears out the fridge & takes minimal time to prep (a trifecta of dinner simplicity!), our Penne Pasta al Forno dish is always

Our local Farmers’ Markets began to reopen last month and getting out of the house with DadChef for a bike ride to the one hosted in our local park has been a bit of simple joy and parenting reprieve we need.
