One of my favorite magazines is Real Simple. I love their tagline..."Life Made Easier"...something many of us crave!

I always look forward to browsing through their Food section and their recipes which they call Easy Dinners. 🙂

Recently I cooked up several easy and delicious recipes from Real Simple magazine, and they were so good that I'm super excited to share them here with you!

Hi I’m Grace Stewart! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions!  Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go.  My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too.
