Hi and thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Tina, I am 39 years old and married to a wonderful man named Robert. I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area with my husband and our three pugs, Suki, Koko and Lucy and two kitties, Max and Trixie.

I am of Italian decent and love to cook not just for my family but for everyone! I have a lot of weeknight dinner guest and try to keep it casual but delicious! My Mom passed away a few years ago and was my great teacher. Keeping the family recipes in tact and in rotation help me feel closer to her and like I am honoring her memory.

I do cook a little healthier than my Mom did and do a lot more vegetarian meals, ground turkey and chicken. I hope you enjoy my blog and my recipes.

This Week's Menu 6/15/08

So, I've decided to make a menu this week and I am going to try to stick with it. You will see that Robert and I are trying our best to eat healthier, lighter and utlizing more natural products. I heard a great grocery shopping tip this week. Only shop the outer aisle of the grocery store...avoid going up and down the inside aisle. So you hit produce, bakery, meat/fish, and dairy. If you only shop the outside aisles..you also miss out on rice, beans and oatmeal...but you get the idea.

Sunday - Beer Can Chicken and veggies on the grill, included herbed potato packets.

Monday - Black beans, rice and fresh pico de gallo

Tuesday - Grilled Mojo Chicken Salads

Wednesday - Pasta with roasted garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, onion and broccoli

Thursday - Turkey Kielbasa with baked beans

Friday - Baja Fish Tacos with left over black beans.
