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!

Get your vegetables!

Did you know that 1 serving of baby carrots provides 234% of your daily requirement for vitamin A, but only 30 calories!

I love vegetables. For me, a meal never feels complete without a nice veg side or salad. They are litterally packed with vitamins, antioxidants and flavor! Sometimes it is hard to incorporate vegetables into your meal because it seems like one more thing you have to cook. At SaucyPlate.com we have always felt that balanced meals are the key to healthy eating, so I have created meals for all kinds of palates that incorporate easy vegetables, such as the frozen kind, all the way up to fancy vegetable sides and salads. Check out some of my favorite veg recipes and meals:
