When she asked me why I was excited to see yet another entry in the generally-middling “Conjuring” series, I blurted out, “They make such a cute couple!” “They” of course being Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as real-life...

We spent a lovely day at the beach on Sunday. The weather was perfect, seals and dolphins were bobbing in the ocean, and the kids built an epic shell sandcastle with their Baba.

I’m all about a quick and easy meal. Well, sometimes I’m also about a super long a slow dinner. But when the kids are going crazy, and I know that means they are hungry, a quick meal is essential. Plus, who doesn’t love a delicious meal that comes together quickly. SALMON is always a great choice for a quick meal. But of course, it’s not that quick if you have to go out and buy the ingredie...

Sometimes I feel lazy when I cook. I don’t necessarily want to start a big endeavor, but I do want something tasty to eat. I DON’T want to order out or pick up food because I would always rather eat homemade food. So, when I find myself in a conundrum I think about the basics. And at its most basic, nachos are incredibly delicious. Cheese melted on chips is a winner any day. But thankfully I...
