I’ve decided that my new shopping day is going to be Sunday. It just makes sense. The week is starting anew, I can go by myself while hubby is at home, and with the quiet mood of a Sunday, it’s almost enjoyable to sit down and meal plan. Yes, this is my “back on the [...]

Lately I have been pretty decent about the whole meal planning thing. Sure we tend to eat the same or similar types of food week in and week out, but I try to change it up here and there so it doesn’t get too boring. Last night, however, I was just feeling really tired and [...]

Breakfast is a big deal for me. It’s not that I love cooking breakfast but I NEVER skip it. Ever. I don’t care if it’s cereal or toast or a full buffet, if I am awake, breakfast is happening. Last week I was delighted to spend some time discussing healthy breakfast options with the gals [...]

Last week I was looking through my first ever copy of Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food Magazine. I had never really taken the time to look at it because honestly, I often find food magazines to be pretentious and out of reach for the average cook (ahem, me). I mean it’s not that I can’t follow [...]

I have been neglecting this question for sometime because, quite frankly I don’t know the answer! But with the help of a delicious recipe, I can at least come up with something now. The question posted via formspring (go ahead ask me anything!) was this: What is your favorite meal to cook for guests? And [...]

I haven’t posted anything for Meal Planning Mondays in a while because honestly, we haven’t done anything new. We like what we like and I guess I haven’t been all that adventurous in the kitchen as of late. Until this week! I got a good deal on ground beef and wanted to do something different [...]

Oscar is a large child. He always has been and I love it. But I want him to be large in the strong sense and not so much the “in charge” way…He really loves protein, dairy and breads. We can do all kinds of meats, beans, rice, breads, milk, cheese and yogurt. But his Vegetable [...]

Today’s post isn’t so much a meal as it is a snack. A sweet snack. I am the type of person who needs a sweet finisher to a meal. It doesn’t have to be a pint of Ben’n’Jerry’s (though that would be amazing right now….uncanny cashew yumz), but something to say, ok we are done [...]
