The leftover Halloween candy is eating me alive!
I mean, I’m eating it. A lot. This is sooo not good for me. Which is why I was thrilled when a friend pointed me in this direction. Yep, that’s right. Operation Gratitude can send your uneaten, calorie and fat packed Halloween candy to our troops. [...]
You can’t celebrate Halloween without eating something made of pumpkin. This year, since I’ve become such a crazed bread-making machine, I decided to try my hand at a pumpkin bread. I didn’t want a regular loaf bread, like zucchini bread, so I poked around for something different. I found it in The Bread [...]
I’m not going to lie to you: my kids are in a breakfast rut. Cereal, yogurt, cereal, yogurt. And every now and again, if they’re really crazy, they have yogurt with cereal.
On Sunday, I decided to try something new. And it was a hit. Here’s the recipe, as modified from [...]
What could be better than voting? How about voting and free coffee?
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!
So here’s my morning in a nutshell…
Me: Eat your breakfast.
Charlie (2): I don’t want it.
Me: Why not? You asked for cereal.
Charlie: I want cereal, not Cheerios.
Me: Cheerios is cereal.
Charlie: No, I don’t want Cheerios. I want cereal.
Me (getting irritated): Charlie, this IS cereal.
Charlie: I don’t [...]
For weeks now, we’ve had nonstop whining about dinner. Even when the kids like what we’re having for dinner, they don’t like what we’re having for dinner (if you’re a parent, that will make sense).
But tonight, I finally managed to make something that they both ate.
It’s based on a recipe from foodtv.com courtesy of [...]
Years ago, my friend’s mother used to make these amazing treats that she called “Mexican egg rolls.” It was basically a mixture of meat and beans in a spicy sauce wrapped in homemade dough.
Anybody know what I’m talking about? I loved them and I think my kids would, too. I’ve never been [...]
I discover this every day.
And for those people who say that kids just “can’t resist” the taste of fast food, they’re wrong.
You see, today I took Charlie for his shots. He had three. He was not in a good mood. None of us were in a great mood, having stayed up far too late with [...]
I’m off shortly with my friend, Kristin, to pretend to be a member of high society.
Historically, I have worn black to this function (sometimes with a feathered hat, sometimes not). This year? Bright pink with squiggles. What does this say about where I am right now?
It was nice enough last night that Chris and I sat down and had a cup of tea while watching Top Chef (which, btw, was quite shocking - anybody watch?). You can’t drink hot tea while it’s hot out, it just doesn’t feel right (coffee is another story). But last night, with some cool air [...]
