We had a suprise guest this week. So, I whipped this out of my arsenal of meal recipies. My mother was a single mother of three and this is one of hers.
It fed my husbands, very large friend of 5'7-8", who had 3 plates of it!! He loved it. ...

I was recently inspired by the finale 'The Next Food Network Star". I love to cook but rarely make the time for from-scratch dinners. Take that and mix it with the fact that I really need to get a handle on my grocery budget and meal planning. I recently joined Thegrocerygame.com...

I have but one regret; so far, in the way I’ve raised my son… Food. I wish I would have been more educated on how important it is to eat local, organic, “slow” food. My own zeal for the greasy joint has dribbled onto my son since the time of his first Happy Meal (younger...

My new Hamilton Beach juicer arrived and I was eager to try it out this morning. I plunged into the fruit bowl on the table head on and decimated anything juicy in my path. Oranges, pears, kiwi, grapefruit… even a banana didn’t stand a chance against my juicer. I poured a large...

One thing I got from my mom was a love of birthday parties and making really yummy and creative homemade cakes. While I am definitely no "Ace of Cakes" I do pretty good for a normal mom.
I've done a giant butterfly cake with ornate wings, a zoo cake with rolling green hills and a lake...

Usually, we are really good at planning the children's Birthday's. When my first set of boys were younger we made plans a month in advance and booked rooms or tables to hold our parties. We have been so busy with a housewarming party, a special Easter brunch and visiting others...

I went to see my doctor for some mysterious pains happening the past few months. Along with the severe PMS questions. I would wake up at 5am with a very bad pain in my stomach. I tried to deduce the causes. What were my habits lately?

Hey Ladies! Last year, I made a list of all the fairs and festivals that sounded fun or were somewhat close or were somehere that we would like to visit as a family. I marked them all on our family calendar and when we were looking for something fun to do, there was always a reference for a fun...

I’m beginning to realize that as difficult as it is to be in the middle of a teen world, it also has its advantages. For example, I have my life back! I know this sounds a little severe, but that’s how it feels. After devoting myself night and day to raising a special needs child, I...

Reading about this huge beef recall yesterday made me very happy that my son has eaten a school hot lunch only two times in his life. School hot lunches are terrible, and that’s without the scare that your child just ate sick beef. The amount of processing, food coloring, refined grains and...

When my son was younger, we would snuggle all the time. We are a very huggy, kissy family and snuggling with our child was a no-questions-asked activity. In spite of being on the Autism Spectrum (most children on the spectrum don’t like to be touched), our son grew to love snuggles. I often...

Ok, who here struggles to make a quick, healthy breakfast for their kids? I discovered something quick this week.
Costco has delicious flats of fresh blueberries for around $5. We all know that blueberries are SUPER healthy for you. Truly a wonder food. I froze most of ours. But if your kids...

Fortunately, last night was the latter of the two.
This dinner took about 30 minutes to...
