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!

Lets Get Roasting

The weather is cooling off, now it is time to start heating up your kitchen with roasted dinners. I love the smell of roasted chicken. It is a hometown American favorite that is often overlooked in our modern eclectic palate. The great thing about roasted chicken is how versatile it is. You can shoot for a straightforward American flavor combination of cinnamon and paprika, a southwest flair of cumin-lime, or a French favorite, lemon-parsley butter. I love the aroma that fills my kitchen when the skin on the chicken begins to brown and release the fat. Here are two great recipes that will feed the whole family.
