On August 12, 2014 in Healthy Recipes by Jo and Jules

In my house, it’s my job to organize the refrigerator. This isn’t because I’m a master organizer by any means, but more because the kitchen is my domain. It’s my happy place. I spend a lot of time there and I love playing and experimenting with food and new recipes. And on top of all that, it’s my job to make sure my family eats well.

Summer is such a glorious time of year! As a sun worshiper and fruit junkie, June is heaven on earth to me.

7 Tips to Get You Cooking Like a Pro

On April 29, 2014 in Healthy Recipes by Jo and Jules

We hear it all the time. “I don’t have time to spend all day in the kitchen making my own food.” I get it. Not all that long ago, 4 years to be exact, “cooking” in my world used to mean swinging by the Whole Foods’ salad bar.
