About Me

My photo
Mother of two young boys, stay home mom and founder/owner/slave to SaucyPlate.com a website dedicated to meal planning. Not just recipes, complete meals planned out and ready to be added to your personalized shopping list. I grew up in a family with a mother who always had a home cooked hot meal on the table. We always had dinner together and I thought my friends who didn't were weird. Once I had a family of my own I decided to follow my dreams and go to culinary school. I knew I would find a way to combine my love of being home with my kids, love of cooking, and a entrepreneurial drive. SaucyPlate.com is the combination of all my loves. Together with my husband we have developed a website designed to bring good food back to the family table. It is quickly becoming a lost tradition!

Holiday recipes: we can do better than canned cranberry sauce!



My family has a long tradition (well maybe my mom started it!) of trying out new recipes every Christmas. Some families like to make the same dishes every year, but my mom and I see the holidays as a time to get together in the kitchen and try something new, and the men are put on rug rat duty to give us some space to get cooking. But its okay with them, they always get the reward of a tasty meal!

If your holiday meals left you desiring something new, here are some great recipes that you can make all year. Then when the holidays come back around you will be ready to dazzle your in-laws!
