Happy Labor Day Weekend! At our house, we love this weekend for many reasons. Ron and I were married 22 years ago on this day and Reis was born on Labor Day Weekend. That stinker waited 3 minutes to be born on our anniversary. This is also the second week for the boys football…
Side Dish
Goat Cheese Craisin Walnut Salad
I love salads. I could eat them every day and honestly, do most days. The only person that I can think of that loves salads more than me is my daughter Alex. This summer, I had the pleasure of working with Alex. It came as quite a surprise to both of us but we really…
Spinach Chicken Pasta Salad #SundaySupper
I am a believer in having simple ingredients shine in my dishes. I think it comes from my Portuguese background. The Portuguese don’t cook with heavy sauces or fancy dressing. Their food is very simple and that simplicity lets the natural beauty and flavors in food truly shine. This recipe for Spinach Chicken Pasta…
Enoki Mushrooms & Pine Nut Quinoa #SundaySupper
It seems like just yesterday, I was so worried when my oldest was leaving for college. Letting go, was not an easy task for this momma. It’s been two years since that summer and not only have I survived, I can honestly tell you that it has been a wonderful experience watching Alexandra grow…
White Asparagus and Salmon Spring Salad #SundaySupper

Because it is so hard for me to choose just one favorite celebrity chef….
Goat Cheese Rigatoni Alfredo #SundaySupper
The Sunday Supper team has a challenge this week. Meals in Five Ingredients or Less. Could we do it? I have to admit, when our host Amber from Mama’s Blissful Bites first brought it up, I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to come up with good dishes with five ingredients or less. This is…
How to make Portuguese Rice
Have I told you how much I love my FedEx guy? Don’t tell my husband, but the highlight of my day is when I hear the doorbell ring knowing that my favorite guy is at the other end. Last week, I almost kissed him! I’ll admit it, it is not because of his…
Tomato Orzo Feta Salad | Labor Day Cookout #SundaySupper
For years, when I thought of having a Labor Day Cookout, my cookout recipes always included hamburger and hot dogs. These days, my cookout recipes, consist of Pork Chops, Salmon, Tomato Orzo Feta Salad and a fun drink. By changing up my menu, I have actually simplified the time I spend prepping, setting up and…
