It’s the day after Christmas, and food is quite possibly the farthest thing from my mind. Among other holiday indulgences, I’ve eaten more cookies than I’d like to admit and I’m, well, full. But the holiday season is still a week from over, so I (Jeanine) think it’s the perfect time for a healthy reprieve…… read more

Have a {candy-fueled & magical} Easter!
Up early this morning, prepping for the Easter brunch I’m making for our families today. I’m keeping things pretty simple – a big roasted veggie & prosciutto frittata, maple-glazed bacon, roasted potatoes, fruit salad and coffee cake muffins…and my mom is bringing her towering citrus-carrot cake with mascarpone icing to top things off! Thought I’d… read more
