Happy Friday, friends! I hope you had a good week. This week was unusual because I had a work trip mid-week. Pre-Covid, I traveled frequently and am so glad those days are over. Thankfully, our calendar is pretty clear this weekend, and I’m looking forward to catching up on family time. Before we get to that, here are some things that brought me joy this week. ONE: Valentine’s Day. Because I was out of town, we celebrated the day before with a restaurant-style dinner, and it was DELICIOUS. On the menu: simple seared scallops, a warm spinach and corn salad, mushroom risotto, and baked chocolate pudding. The risotto and chocolate…

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m heading out on a work trip today, so we had our traditional V-Day dinner last night, and I’ll surprise my teens with Valentine’s candy, chocolates, and cards before they leave for school today. As for my husband, we decided against V-Day gifts long ago, but I still got flowers and a box of my favorite chocolates. And because we’re celebrating the day of love, I’m sharing my love for J.Crew jeans. I really like skinny jeans, but as expected, styles change. These days call for boot cut, straight, and wide leg jeans, and I really needed an upgrade. While certain designer jeans are nice, I hate…

My family loves tacos, and my 30-Minute Fish Tacos have been a favorite for over a decade. These are full of flavor and come together quickly with a simple, flavorful marinade. We buy frozen mahi filets (Costco has great ones!), but if you have fresh fish, then by all means use that. While you’re marinating the fish, prepare some delicious toppings and condiments for a taco bar or board. I suggest shredded lettuce or cabbage (cole slaw mix works great), fresh chopped cilantro, lime wedges, sliced avocado or guacamole, salsa, sour cream or spicy aioli, and pickled onions. I’ve included recipes for spicy aioli and the tastiest pickled onions below. 30-Minute…

Happy Friday, friends! We have a full weekend ahead. My son has an end-of-season basketball tournament tomorrow. Then, we have a dinner with friends and Super Bowl party on Sunday. I’m traveling for work next week, so will prep early for our Valentine’s dinner. Before all of that, here are four things that brought me joy this week and might do the same for you. ONE: How do you wash your sweaters? Years ago, I stopped dry cleaning mine because it was expensive and I hated the chemical smell. I’ve been handwashing them, but recently a friend shared her method. I tried it this week and was blown away. Here’s…

How’s your week going, friends? We’ve had beautiful weather and warmer temps, which makes us itch for spring. My kids are counting down the days until spring break, and it’s really starting to sink in that my oldest daughter is graduating in May! I’m so excited for her, but getting a bit sappy about it. Can anyone relate? One of the things that remains constant is my love for the convenience of Amazon. As a busy mom, I love how much time I save by not having to run to the store several times a week. I’m also convinced that it saves us money because I no longer get carried…

I’m kicking off February with one of our family’s favorite recipes: Sheet Pan Paella. Longtime followers will remember this one. It is not a traditional paella by any means. Instead, it is paella-inspired and easy enough for a weeknight dinner. You can use regular smoked sausage or andouille if you like a little spice. For shrimp, frozen is usually the way to go, and it thaws quickly while you’re prepping the other ingredients. We really like the Argentinian red shrimp from Trader Joe’s. I usually have frozen rice on hand, but fresh also works fine. I rely on my rice cooker to do the work because I hate cooking rice…

Happy Friday! In today’s Friday Four, I’m sharing four things that brought me joy this week and might do the same for you. ONE: Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I love celebrating my people, and one of our traditions is to have a special Valentine’s dinner. When my kids were younger, I would make them an early dinner of spaghetti and meatballs or heart-shaped buttered noodles with strawberries cut into hearts and a fun dessert. After we put them to bed, my husband and I would stay up late cooking our own special meal. Now, we have a big family dinner and try to make it special. This…
