Oh, mama mia. What’s dinnertime like in MY house? Usually… William saying, “I’m not eating that.” Alexander saying, “Do I have to eat this?” Benjamin asking, “Can I have what they’re not having?” Henry taking the ketchup and making some silly faces on the table. Oh, yes. Never. A. Dull Moment. I have to be honest, one of the best [...]

When I met my husband Barry all those decades ago, I had never heard of something called Clam Dip. And when I visited Barry’s Mom, Flo, for the first time, I didn’t particularly feel that I wanted to taste something called Clam Dip. But I did.  Because that’s what you do when you meet your guy’s Mom for the first [...]

Sometimes you know your wishes have been answered! Introducing Skinny Cow Candy! (Hello my loves… !) I’m not kidding when I tell you that I was actually giddy when the box arrived filled with some Skinny Cow Candies to try out. I’m addicted to the Vanilla Sandwiches from Skinny Cow, so I know the brand well. I love that everything [...]

I’m a big fan of designated dinner nights: “taco night,” “pizza night” and “Chinese take-out night” are among my favorites, especially on a Friday night.

So… I have been scarce around here, haven’t I? We’ve been enjoying our vacation and have been spending more time outside than online, which, I suppose, is how it should be. The previous five days here have been much like the first four I documented… beautifully warm, sunny and enjoyable. On Thursday Brian and I drove about 45 minutes north [...]

For 39 years, turning my calendar from January 31st to February 1st is an action that grips me with terror. This year, it took me until today to compose myself enough to slowly see February come into view. I don’t know if anyone knows the terror with which I greet February. I don’t think I have ever verbalized it or [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever given anyone the impression that I rock in the kitchen. In fact, I’ve even written about how I’m just not a natural when it comes to cooking. Like, one time when I tried to boil spaghetti, this happened: Remember? I didn’t really care too much about my skills (or lack thereof) in the kitchen until [...]
