In The Kitchen - Healthy-ish Muffins

Muffins. Not always the most exciting thing going on in our kitchen, but my family has grown to love them – even the ‘healthy’ ones. As I’ve mentioned before (many, many times) I do my best to offer my children healthy options when it comes to meals and snacks. But I am not a short order cook, and unfortunately we don’t live on an organic produce farm. Also, my kids like cake and donuts and anything that is offered in ‘snack size’. That’s why I am so into these muffin recipes. Lucky for you, I’m sharing our favorite recipes here!

@StoreBoughtIsFine - Container Sale

To be honest, when I received my set of Cassandra's Kitchen Clear Plastic Containers I wasn't sure how useful they’d really be. I mean, my cupboards overflowed with mismatched Tupperware that worked well enough to store my leftovers. I unpacked them and stacked them neatly next to the rest of the containers with little enthusiasm. Slowly but surely, over the next six months...

Back-to-School Lunches

Back To School! I think we’re all ready to get back into a routine. New clothes are hanging in the closet, school supplies are neat and tidy, and I’m super motivated to pack my kids healthy lunches that they will actually eat.

In The Kitchen - Almond Orange Cookies

If you visit our blog at all, you know we’re on a mission to find healthier options for our families. We also don’t want to sit around eating stuff that tastes like cardboard – as if our kids would go for that. We’re far from perfect…but everyone once-in-a-while we come across a recipe that, healthy or not, is REALLY super yummy (and thankfully free of refined sugar and gluten).

Springs Farmer's Market - East Hampton

I absolutely love summer in East Hampton. One of my favorite things to do is visit the local farmer’s markets. This week Cassandra was in town and we had a great morning at the Springs Farmer’s Market on the green at Ashawagh Hall. Springs is the part of East Hampton where we both grew up, so it’s always fun to visit the market when we're back there during the summer.

Happy Father's Day

Three cheers for all of the great fathers and the amazing men who represent ‘dad’ in our lives. I thought Father’s Day would be a good time to give a little shout out to an awesome dad, wonderful friend, and great partner - my husband Brad.

In The Kitchen - Tacos & Guacamole

As a mother of three kids under the age of 7, I do my best to serve as much ‘real’ food as possible. I’m far from perfect, but over the past few years I’ve been on a mission to replace some of our frequently-used-but-not-so-good-for-you products with healthier, simpler alternatives. I found a great no-filler taco seasoning that doesn't disappoint!

In The Kitchen - Roast Chicken and Veggies

It’s snowing again in NY and we have been in the mood for something warm, cozy, and comforting…nothing better than Roast Chicken. I use Ina’s Perfect Roast Chicken recipe as a guide and change it up depending on what’s in my fridge. This week I had potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that’s what I used and it was delicious!

In The Kitchen - Weekday Hummus

This month we've decided to start a new blog series called “In The Kitchen” where Cassandra and I share recipes that we regularly make for our friends and family. Ideally, we’ll post one every week (or so), we hope you enjoy it and participate by commenting with your feedback, questions, and some favorite recipes of your own. I’m kicking it off with my Weekday Hummus Recipe.
