Fish isn’t something that makes a frequent appearance on our dinner table. After one issue of Abigail not wanting to eat fish, I just proclaimed my kids non-fish eaters and stayed away from it. Fish for dinner meant a separate chicken entree for the kids, which meant I was making […]

Have you seen Izze anywhere? I mean, how could I not buy some to try it, it’s so attractive! It’s labelled as a sparkling fruit juice that is naturally sweetened. And look at the flavors it comes in! Apple, blueberry, pomegranate, clementine, grapefruit, pear, lemon, and blackberry. Seriously, you cannot […]

A quick post today! I just had to share this little tidbit this morning. You’ll remember a few months ago I made homemade pita bread. Well, I finally got around to trying a whole wheat version and it was fantastic. I don’t think the process was any different than with […]

I’m taking a blogging break today to send all my readers elsewhere. To see something truly amazing, head on over to Winosandfoodies and see the results of A Taste of Yellow. Not only will Barbara’s story inspire you, but she inspired foodies from around the globe and compiled a round-up […]

The one thing I wanted Andy to make me for Mother’s Day was grilled vegetables. I didn’t care about anything else, but I wanted the veggies. So I picked up a nice selection of vegetables and he prepared them for me. We used zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, fennel, red bell pepper, […]

To get my kids to eat their veggies. My kids love raw vegetables. Veggies and dip is one of Abigail’s favorite snack. If I’m preparing dinner, and there is chopping of vegetables involved, I always have to give my kids a bit of the vegetables. Because of this, when I […]

An ice cream monster, that is. The other day after making that sorbet I was reminded of how easy homemade frozen treats can be. Feeling all proud of myself for tackling and succeeding at sorbet, I wanted to tackle something else I hadn’t before-Gelato. Thanks to The Chocolate Gourmand, I […]

I just realized that this morning I imported my 200th recipe into my Recipe Trove. That’s a lot of cooking going on! Just 200 recipes, and there are so many that I make that aren’t even in there yet! It’s pretty exciting to me to go online and view my […]

The other day I was visiting a blog that I really enjoy. The Chocolate Gourmand is a newer blog to me, and it couldn’t be more up my alley. Brian makes his own candies and chocolates, and given the time of year, he’s into all sorts of ice creams and […]

I’ve thought about this a bit over the last few weeks. I think it’s time to put Weigh-In Wednesday behind me and focus on healthy eating versus weight loss. About a week or so ago I read an article on MSN about calorie restriction and it literally broke my heart […]

I haven’t been participating too much in the blogging events as of late. Part of that, of course, has been my budgetary restrictions. But also, I just haven’t felt inspired to be creative. This time though, I was inspired and moved. Barbara of winosandfoodies is hosting a one-off event in […]
