A food blog with fun, quick & easy recipes.
This Shrimp and Corn Chowder Soup recipe is from Food & Wine’s magazine. It’s in their latest issue billed as a special edition because it’s celebrating the top 40 recipes in the last 40 years.
It’s crazy how many food magazines arrive in the mail box each month. Naomi orders one after another and I’m not even sure how she gets to them all each month. But without fail, if I pick one up, there will be coffee-stained pages, dog-earred recipes and flags with notes for herself or for me.
Football season has officially started, so naturally we need to kick it off with some game day eats. For this weeks game day eats inspiration, I’m drawing on one of my childhood favorites: meatloaf.
I’m taking meatloaf and flipping it into muffin-size bites. I know this isn’t a novel idea, so naturally I’m punching it up with a chili-filled center and topping it with some homemade potato chips for some added crunch.

It’s hard to believe that the boys are starting week 3 of the new school year. With that, I’m getting the boys into the practice of helping me pack their lunches.
After a summer of traveling and exploring, and lots of eating on-the-go, we made a family decision to teach our kids how to make smart lunch choices this year. That means having them (even our 4 year-old) help with packing their own lunches in their new PackIt freezable bags.
We have less than 25 days left of summer. Where did it go? I’m hanging onto the last of it in every way, including serving it up with this 20-minute meal that results in what you see below: Grilled Salmon with Corn and Mango Relish.
It comes together easily and quickly, in terms of easily serving it to my kids – I know them well, I dressed up the plate with a few of their favorite things by way of the relish.

This local festival is one of the first things Naomi and I did when we dated. To this day, we still do it, but now we take the kids. It’s one of those events that has all the nostalgia while still creating new moments and memories with these goofballs.
The art and craft festival isn’t anything large, but it does have a long tradition locally and for us—we go, we eat and the kids invariably tell us how old and dorky we are—I love it.
