When I saw this at the store the other day, I just had to try it. I’ve been wishing Organic Valley would make yogurt, as it’s one of the few dairy products I eat- the fact that it says it’s drinkable yogurt says volumes about the product, and the company’s […]

Cheesecake Brownie Bars
Last week while the kids and I were waiting in line to check out at the grocery store, we were looking at the magazine covers. Most of them really made me wish that stores would stop stocking headline grabbing magazines in the checkout aisle where my kids can read many […]
Red Beans & Rice
I don’t know if I’ve ever made red beans and rice, per se. I guess in my mind, it’s always been a dish that is more like a pilaf- a rice dish with beans and veggies and seasonings mixed into it. So the other day, when I came up with […]
This Is NOT Sausage And Peppers
At least not in a traditional sense. But this was one of those dinners that just came together so easily, and turned out much more tasty than I thought possible. I mean, I thought it would be passable as edible, but I wasn’t expecting how delicious it would be- and […]
Effortless, Delicious Rhubarb Crisp
Last week I was delighted to receive a bundle of freshly picked rhubarb from my mom. I’ve quickly discovered that one of the problems with moving half-an-hour away from mom is that I don’t have free access to her garden. And that spring garden of rhubarb and asparagus is truly […]
I Think We Need Some Cake
But first, check this out! We move to the city, and now we seem to have a duck! This is the second rainy day that we’ve sighted her in our driveway. We also have a whole herd of squirrels and one very fat rabbit. But the duck makes me smile. […]
Another Homemade Mac-N-Cheese
I found myself in a predicament the other day. We were standing in the grocery store, the kids and I, and we were discussing what we wanted for dinner that night. I was standing right next to a display of pasta that was on sale, and I asked the kids […]
The Conscious Decisions We Make
Last night the kids had a movie night to go to. They were very, very excited to go, and their instructions were to bring a snack and a drink. Popcorn was going to be provided, and someone else was bringing ice cream, so I asked the kids what it was […]
The First Asparagus Of The Season
It was a very exciting day this past weekend when my mom dropped off a plastic bag holding our first taste of the new spring asparagus! The only problem was that I couldn’t decide exactly what to do with it. My first thought was to grill it up- but we […]
Everyday Fish Tacos
Unpacking is a whole lot of work. When I get an opportunity to take a break, I relish it, and over the last week I’ve been spending a lot of my down time watching some of the more obscure television, like Planet Green or FitTV. I think what has happened […]
