I was all excited to blog my Four Seasons Enchiladas. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t posted it before, and I made it last night for a neighbor who just had a baby. As I went to type it up this morning, there I find it already blogged on my site. Ah yes, the brain is [...]
Every Saturday night my parents made chicken. Well, at least that’s what I remember telling my friends back in high school. In all honesty, in their defense, I think occasionally they made tacos. But truly, most Saturday nights consisted of baked chicken in some form, and a veggie, as I was growing up. Now, I [...]
My husband was recently out of town for a business trip, so I invited the girls over. I’m not sure what I was thinking… throwing a little party while taking care of two kids by myself… but it turned out fun (even if I was getting dressed 5 minutes before it started). The kids played [...]
I’m not sure who alfredo was, but he is number 1 in my book! I’d love to drown myself in a bowl of alfredo sauce from the ol’ Olive Garden, but the WW points value is ridiculous. Here’s a slimmed down version that really hits the spot. It’s creamy and delicious. Plus, there’s the added [...]
My husband and I love going out for Tapas – basically Spanish appetizers. When I heard there was an authentic Spanish restaurant near my parents’ home, I asked if they’d go with me sometime. One of the dishes that I had there was called Albóndigas, or basically Spanish meatballs in a tomato sauce. They were [...]
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 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 [...]
At one of my most memorable jobs, I was lucky enough to travel the world. I had never been overseas, but on my first day on the job I boarded a plane for Germany. During my six years at the company, I was able to see Germany (several times), Russia, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. [...]
