Buffalo Chicken Wraps – A Feezor Family favorite! So easy and so tasty!
Broccoli Rabe, Meyer Lemon and Fontina Pizza – I’ve been meaning to make this for awhile and I’m bummed I’ve waited so long. The nutty flavor of the ricotta with the tartness of the lemon and spice of the chili infused broccoli is divine. Great for an “elevated” pizza night!

Bacon, Pea and Fresh Herb Pasta – This was a quick and easy dinner with stuff I had in my fridge/freezer. Perfect for night’s when you are too tired to cook an involved meal but want something home cooked.

Happy Father’s Day to the best dad a girl (or 3 could ask for)! Thank you for all you do and always putting family first… we are so lucky to have a mentor, friend and confidant like you. Thank you for always rooting for us and always having our back. We are so lucky to have a dad like you! I love you Dad xo
Never in my life have I had enough ingredients to make a recipe without a trip to the store so I was very excited to whip this up!
First I thawed Meyer Lemon juice that I froze (with lemons from my tree) and mixed it with water and the strawberry simple syrup I randomly made a couple weeks ago… and voila strawberry lemonade!
Later that evening I muddled basil (you could do mint instead) and added some vodka and crushed ice and topped with the lemonade… voila the perfect summer sipper!

Here a few helpful hints to help around the house…
- Always let a candle burn fully so that the wax has melted completely through the candle. When you don’t do this it results in an unevenly burnt candle and decreases its shelf life. You can help save it by making a little foil cover and burning it until it evenly melts. Make sure to also cut your wick before lighting your candle (too long of wick will result in a smoking candle).
- To remove reside from a blender, pour 1/2 cup warm water and 1/3 baking soda in blender and run for 30 seconds. Rinse.
- Clean your filters! This is definitely a category that I’m working on but cleaning out filters (in your vacuum, in your dryer, etc.) is critical. It can cause over heating and ultimately the demise of your device/machine, etc. Here are some great tutorials for your hair dryer, dryer lint filter and vacuum.
- Always bring meat to room temperature before grilling it. I bring mine out of the fridge about an hour before cooking. It will help it to distribute the heat and brown it evenly. This also goes for poultry and fish, although I don’t keep it out as long.
- Rubbing alcohol is a great stain remover. Don’t use it on a wood finish, but when trying to remove stains off of clothing, rubber soles of shoes, or your carpet a little bit on a rag is a great way to lift pesky stains!
- Don’t forget to clean your disposal (or run it for that matter). Nothing is worse than coming back from work (or worse – vacation) and realizing something was left behind in the disposal. Make sure to run it every time you put something in there. I also recommend cleaning it a couple times a month. I use this tutorial for a fresh/natural option.
