It’s Saturday Night at our home and like many weekend nights, it is filled with laughter, squeals, and teenagers. What would probably seem chaotic to most, seems quite natural over here. I made a big crock pot of Portuguese Pulled Pork, Pepperoni Pizza Dip and homemade Macaroni and Cheese for Reis and his friends. They…

Roasted Tomato Hummus #SundaySupper
I recently attended the PMA Fresh Summit in New Orleans and if you follow me on any of my social channels, you saw all the pictures of all the amazing produce. There were so many beautiful fruits and vegetables and some varieties that I had never seen or tasted. But the one vegetable, or should…
Halloween Ghost Flatbread Pizza #SundaySupper
It’s that time of year… time to have some Halloween fun. I love making fun Halloween Ghost Flatbread Pizza’s this time of year. They are super easy to make and can be pre-baked and transported to a party. The best part about them is that a pizza bar can be set up and everyone can add…
Crab Beignets | Emeril’s Cooking with Power
I just returned from a trip to New Orleans. This city can be compared to NYC in that there is always something going on and the food scene is just fabulous. I had some of the most memorable meals but what really stood out, was the use of crab in so many dishes. Although I knew…
Strawberry and Mozzarella Flatbread #SundaySupper
Crunch. I have often wondered what I like best about food, the taste or the texture? I am border line obsessed with layering food to create the perfect combination. To me, when you have crispy and soft and topped with the perfect sauce or dressing ~ Hey there’s a party in my mouth! Strawberry and…

Potato Cheese and Mushroom Focaccia Bread #SundaySupper
Every year I greet this season with mixed emotion. On the one hand, as a working mom, I am relieved to be able to schedule appointments without feeling guilty that my kids are home and can’t go swimming or have friends over until I return. On the other hand, I miss the days of casual…
Cinnamon Affogatos #SundaySupper
I have a new favorite drink that I am totally hooked on. From the first time I saw Cinnamon Affogatos in the Desserts in Jars cookbook, I knew I had to try this delicacy. I think it was the Cinnamon Gelato that first attracted me. The taste of caramel and coffee is just heavenly and…
Chickpea Salad
The start of summer means a lot of things to me. Beach days, hanging out with old friends, minimal school (I’m only taking 1 class online) and healthy eating. During the school year, it just isn’t possible for me to make sure every meal I eat is a healthy one. It usually comes down to…
Avocado Hummus #WeekdaySupper
Today, I am so excited and honored to have my daughter, Alexandra posting. She is the reason Family Foodie was born and continues to inspire me every day. It is so wonderful to have her home from college and working with me this summer. Alexandra is a total hummus addict, we test more hummus recipes than…
