So I’ve settled into the role of being a working Mom again. It was not nearly as hard this time because my company is very cognizant of a work/life balance. They put a lot of focus on family, so that has helped. I’m also working about a block from my husband, so that is nice [...]
Ok, I promised last week to post one of my “famous” recipes. So, I was packing for our trip, and made this in the crock pot. By the time we were all done eating, and I had taken leftovers to our neighbor, I realized I didn’t take a picture. So, next time I make it [...]
Today is my son’s first “real” day at preschool. His Dad and I both went with him on Friday to attend a half-day and get him orientated. But today, today is the big one… a full school day all by himself. He’s been to pre-preschool at daycare, but this just feels different. I’ve got his [...]
I was going to make the title official and name the Israeli Couscous Tabouli and Creamy White Bean Yogurt Sauce… but good lord that’s a mouthful. And personally, if the title of the recipe is so long, I’m not sure I’d even want to start reading the list of ingredients to make it. I’m a [...]
Where oh where have I been? Well… hmmm… busy.. very busy. I was out of town for almost a week visiting family, and then they came up to Chicago to see us too. So, it’s been a fun whirlwind couple of weeks. The cousins all got to play, and family got to meet our little [...]
Life is busy… that’s about all I have to say. I’m totally enjoying my maternity leave, but I’m definitely busy, and I can only imagine how swamped I will be once I go back to work! The idea of it is making me sleepy already… so for now I’m going to just enjoy the next [...]
I love sushi. I love the beautiful $12 (or more) rolls that come so artfully prepared to your restaurant table or delivered to your door. I even love the roll made daily at my local Whole Foods market. I love it all. I’ve even made my own California rolls which I blogged here. However, I [...]
Cheese… and wine… this recipe actually sort of marinates cheese… in wine. So, you can already see why I wanted to make this dish! Now, the kale “chips” also intrigued me. Kale has been called the “queen of greens” according to an article in Web MD. It’s one of the best things you can eat, [...]
If you grew up in the 80′s like yours truly, you might remember the BK Broiler. And yes, I’m dating myself. Burger King came out with this broiled chicken sandwich. It was a “healthy twist” to the Burger King menu, and was topped with lettuce, tomato, and a dill ranch sauce. In 1988 they changed [...]
I haven’t just wanted a burger throughout this pregnancy, I’ve needed a burger. I’ve tried my best to try to make healthy versions of them, however, and not to just run to my local fast food locale. This recipe has been a great go-to recipe of mine for years. Even my 3 1/2 year old [...]
