Well we finally got the snow that we’ve been lacking this winter season. My son is thrilled and looking forward to some sledding. I, however, am already in “bring me some spring” mode, and could care less about the snow. That being said, however, I did purchase an abnormally large sled today simply due to [...]
Whew, I’m pooped. Ok, one should probably not write “poop” in a blog about food, but that pretty much sums it up. It’s been a busy weekend with the kids and now, Sunday night, I’m trying to catch up on the million-things-I-didn’t-get-done. But, it was a fun one for sure, and definitely worth it. I’ve [...]
I haven’t made many of Giada’s recipes lately. I found them either to be too complex for a simple dinner, or a bit on the heavy side. Her last episode, however, featured easy weeknight meals. I decided to make a few of them right away. This one was awesome! The topping would be good on [...]
When I was working with an hour commute each way, I was constantly looking for fast weeknight meals. Funny, now with two kids instead of one, I’m also looking for fast weeknight meals! I saw this on an episode of Giada at Home and decided right away to make it. I already had instant polenta [...]
What a busy day. Today was my son’s last day at “daycare” (sort of pre-preschool). He starts preschool (gulp!) next Friday. I love walking him to & from his current school, so this morning we set off on foot. He fell, scratched his knee, bleeding… so we hobbled home to mend his wound. He still [...]
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 [...]
If you take this recipe from the WW website, it is called “Eggplant Parmigiana”…. but I thought that sounded way too fancy. I like to think I am well-versed in my life. I live about 5 blocks from the “big city” and spent quite a few years living in Chicago. My parents couldn’t even tell [...]
Ah summer. I love it… and I’m getting to really enjoy it this year since I’m currently unemployed. Ok, yes, it’s not great to have to look for a job, but I am truly enjoying the time off with my kids. I can’t complain. And hopefully this will bring about a job opportunity that truly [...]
Our little sweet pea is getting baptized in about a week. After the service, we’re all coming back to our house for a little celebration. I have yet to put a single thought into what I might have on hand to serve. I thought some simple finger food would be best, and I think I [...]
I made this in the crock pot the other day, and boy did the house ever smell good. I used low fat turkey smoked sausage, and dried great northern beans. I have no clue where I got this recipe, but I’ve had it for years and had yet to make it. So, here ya go! [...]
