I know, I know… I posted a Lo Mein recipe last week.  However, this week I have yet to go to the grocery store (this will be my task at lunch today) and I had everything in the house for this great, tried ‘n true recipe. Since the “Blizzard of 2011″, I’ve had a horrible [...]

Happy Snowpocolypse!  Or… Snow my gosh!  Or… well I’ve run out of snow jokes… but apparently today is the start of quite the snow storm.  Personally, I’ll believe it when I see it.  I often think they prepare us for the worst and it ends up not that bad, but I could eat my words [...]

Are you ever looking for a way to sneak those veggies in to your child without them noticing?  If yours loves pasta like mine does, this is a good way.   Since you add the extra garlic at the end, along with the parsley, you can omit that from the kid-size portion, and add a little [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, and also a part of Italy.  All in all, sounds like a pretty amazing place to visit.  My friend at work has an even better story… she lived there. Yep, lived in the land of pizza, pasta, and amazing wine.  Not a bad deal, if you [...]

Today I have the day off.  No, not from work… from cooking.  I know, hard to believe, right?  Well this week I made things to get rid of what we had in the fridge/freezer… and I have a ton of leftovers.  So, today is leftover day.  I rarely have these, I admit.  Neither my husband [...]

Well, I’m not sure how appropriate this picture is for a food blog…. but here it is folks… our big news… Yes, it’s true… this Multitasking Mom is going to have to multitask a lot more after next April.  I’m 10 weeks along and feeling good!  Ok, I lie… I’m queezy, hungry, and sleepy… but [...]

I plan meals… diligently.  But the other night I had no plan, and didn’t really feel like ordering out either.  So, I needed to get creative.  My mother tries to remind me that sometimes the ol’ simple standbys are delish.  I hunted around the cabinet… tuna… noodles… 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup… And [...]

Ah comfort food.  There’s nothing like mac ‘n cheese.  My parents used to make it simply with a brick of Velveeta and milk (which, by the way, I still love).  I was looking for a healthier option and this is my new favorite.  I did make a few modifications, which I’ve noted below. My son [...]
