Ah Thanksgiving! This year we felt so thankful for SO many things. We spent the holiday surrounded by happy & healthy family members; we found out that we are going to have a bouncing baby GIRL this coming April; and we felt truly blessed for a very happy year. So, since I love to cook, you’d think that Thanksgiving is [...]
I wanted to share this review from the winner of our Gel Pro Mat giveaway! She received hers and has tested it out! Thanks, Christine, for sending your review! My almost 3-year-old daughter was the first to try out our new GelPro mat. As soon as she noticed it in the kitchen, she stretched out [...]
Joe’s Stone Crab is a restaurant that opened in 1913 in Miami Beach. No visit to Miami is complete without a stop here, and we are lucky enough in Chicago to have Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab restaurant as well. This place is constantly packed shoulder to shoulder, and one taste of their [...]
I loved this recipe.. truly I did. But, alas, I have no picture to show you. Why? You might ask… Well, that’s a good one… I made these the other night for my son & I. He was eating the sausage and the bun and some mini potato pancakes (frozen) that I threw in the [...]
No-Time… what better name for a recipe, eh? Time is definitely something we all seem to lack. I drive home in the dark (I’m NOT enjoying that one bit) and get home, make dinner, clean up, bathe the boy, and then it’s time for him to go to bed… unfortunately I’m asleep on the couch [...]
I think that I lose some cooking ability while pregnant. I blame it all on the pregnancy brain and not on my general cluelessness. This morning I woke up wanting coffee. My doctor actually told me to have some daily to combat the dizziness I’ve been feeling. So, I try to make a pot of [...]
So I found this recipe, and decided I could do it on a weeknight. What is better than a meal that tastes like you’ve slaved over it for hours, but you actually prepped it in 30 minutes or less? Well, that was my intent on Tuesday night… when my husband decided that we should meet [...]
I found this recipe ages ago after I ate at a Benihana restaurant. The dressing on their salad was this fresh, ginger salad dressing that I adored. I couldn’t find anything similar in stores and decided to Google the recipe it until I found it. These days, I truly like making my own salad dressing [...]
Obviously from the title, my review of the Gel Pro mat is positive. However, I truly wanted to be unbiased and critical, and give it a true review. So, after pulling it out of the box on the first day, standing on it, and saying “ohhhhhhhh…..”, I still put it through a few uses before [...]
Last night I was home alone with my son. So, I was tempted to have cheese & crackers for dinner, or leftover pizza, or even some leftover Halloween candy. Hey, there’s milk in chocolate, right? But, I tried to be “good” and cook something for us that would be healthy. I made this, and sort [...]
