I’m so excited to be one of the Ragu Momversation Mom’s in the Mom’s the Word on Dinner campaign that Ragu is doing… I have enjoyed the honest conversation among other moms, and have really appreciated the candor and the rawness… because, let’s face it – it’s not always easy to feed the family (especially when you have very picky [...]

I dared my sons to eat broccoli tonight. I actually went so far as to tell them that I could give them 50 cents for every piece they ate. William, Ben and Henry started to INHALE it. Alexander was a different story… Oh, yes. He did.

Love for you to join me tonight with Ragu! I’ll be chatting with you LIVE from Ragu’s Facebook wall. I’m excited to have 2 of my girlfriend’s from home join me as we candidly talk about dinnertime in our homes – it ain’t always pretty! And to get you a little inspired for tonight’s discussion, check out our latest Mom’s [...]

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. But I’ve also always also loved “breakfast for dinner” nights ever since I was a little kid. It’s just a little change, but it can put a fun twist on dinner. For these types of [...]

How times have changed for me… Myoplex Lite, thank you!

If you’ve been following my blog over the past few weeks, you are probably tired of hearing about know I just enjoyed a wonderful vacation in Florida. Brian and I stayed in a condo and we had a little kitchen to work with, which was awesome. I love going out to eat and trying new restaurants while on vacation, but [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m not one to brag about my skills in the kitchen. Quite the contrary, as a matter of fact. But I have an Apple Crisp recipe that’s so delicious, it would be wrong to keep it to myself. I have been making this dessert for years now (I found the recipe on Epicurious), but usually only twice a year: Thanksgiving [...]
