Balsamic Gaucamole
Today I am posting from Mexico! I accompanied my husband on a business trip to a resort south of Cancun called the Fairmont Mayakoba. It feels like we are deep in the jungle and then the path will open onto the most beautiful beach. I am enchanted by this place! Have you ever heard of Balsamic Gaucamole? I thought this post was perfect for today since here in Mexico you can eat guacamole with
The BEST Deviled Eggs
This is the time of year when I make lots of Deviled eggs and Egg Salad sandwiches in an effort to use all our dyed eggs. My boys LOVE to color eggs and so we always have at least 3 dozen on hand after Easter.

I have a ridiculously easy and seriously delicious dip to share with you today. I have made this dip several times now and it is always a big hit. It comes together really fast with no cooking involved. Since the Feta cheese is the star here, make sure you get a good one. I think the precrumbled kind can be dry. I like the Presidents brand at Costco. I buy it in bulk and cut it into squares
Strawberry Jam Vinaigrette
How are you doing on your New Years Resolutions this year? Just like every year one of my top goals has to do with my health... getting more sleep, exercising everyday and eating more veggies.

How To Create Happy and Nourishing Family Dinners
Family Dinner Class NotesThese are the notes from a class I taught recently. I learned so much as I prepared and I hope you do too:) What are your experiences with family dinner?
