Eating at a buffet is lots of fun, especially for kids.  Children get very excited about the different choices they are offered at a buffet.  For some, the idea of “all you can eat” is thrilling.  How can you help your child navigate a buffet without going...

This recipe comes with a disclaimer -  this is the kind of dinner best enjoyed after the kids go to bed. Add a glass of wine or ice-cold Pilsner and you have a perfect date night at home. There's nothing quite like flavorful scallops kissed with garlic and drizzled with...

Yesterday we went to Sonoma to celebrate Father's Day early. No one told us that it’s NASCAR weekend in Napa (and Sonoma didn’t have anything about it on their town website or calendar of events.) Despite the horrid traffic coming home, overwhelming smell of duck poo in the air...

I'm not Catholic, nor do I go for the whole "St. Patrick" myth... however, I do love to wear green on St. Patricks day and always always always make Shepard's Pie for dinner. Call it "green day" or "Irish Day" (my personal favorite), or even "Everyone's Irish...

My name is *Creatress and I am a fast food addict. I love the stuff. Taco Bell, Burger King, Jimboys… Mmmm I could eat it three times a day. Of course I don’t, in fact I rarely treat myself anymore.   A little over a month ago my husband was diagnosed with high blood pressure...

Yes, the title is really corny but it’s been a long week (and I had Monday off). Like Thuy mentioned, it’s been very rainy in our neck of the woods, and as Francesca pointed out, I don’t do rain. Although we desperately need the rain, I, to put it mildly, HATE it. I...

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...
