You’ve all heard me talk about how difficult it is to find anything that both my boys will eat. Unfortunately, that difficulty extends to desserts! Yep, one of my little princes likes chocolate…and the other tolerates it but flatly rejects anything that he deems to be “too chocolaty”. (Yet somehow his favorite Cliff Bar is [...]

In my next life, I’ll be one of those Mom’s who has a ton of patience. You know what I’m talking about. The kind of Mom who can tackle any project on Pinterest with her kids and never lose her cool. Or the one who actually can relax while cooking with her kids. Despite the [...]

One of the craziest things about being a parent is seeing myself in my boys. Just this morning, I was working with Alex on his math. He’s just started multiplication and somehow just “gets” that, but he still struggles when trying to add three four digit numbers. It’s not the addition he has a problem [...]

Some days a girl just needs chocolate. I started today with the best of intentions. On the addenda was a yet to be named Crunchy Quinoa Salad and a Spinach Broccoli Quinoa Soup. My recipes were written, the ingredients purchased and it seemed the course of my afternoon was set. And then something happened. I’m [...]

Obviously, there isn’t a lot to say right now. My heart goes out to the families and the community devastated by this tragedy. As a mother, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain. I don’t want to. Like I a lot of you, I spent the day hugging my boys a little tighter than [...]

Have you guys seen the new Amazon Santa app for iPad? Yeah, thanks to hubby’s brilliant find of this, I now need approximately $157,645 to complete my Christmas shopping. And that’s just for the boys. I really shouldn’t fuss too much about it. I can remember spending countless hours with the Sears catalog circling everything [...]

Although I love healthy food I’d have to say that this is one area of my life that I show very little restraint. Not only do I spend a lot of money buying the freshest organic produce, but I also have a really hard time even thinking about restriction of any type. The minute you [...]

I made this recipe on a rainy day in June while visiting family in Texas. Yes, I said June. And yes, I am aware that is is now October. The reason for my delay in sharing isn’t that we didn’t enjoy this quinoa pudding, because we most certainly did. Even my mom, who is still [...]

This recipe is one that I never intended to share with you, but it was so good that I just can’t resist. It started with what was supposed to be a learning experience for me – cooking from my new cookbook, the The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Bread. Of course, I’m not one to cook straight [...]

I got really excited this morning when I logged into my Twitter account and saw that someone was doing Follow Friday. Friday? It’s Friday already?

Given the choice between something salty and crunchy or something sweet and decadent, I’d choose salty every time. I realize this makes me kinda unusual for a woman, but since you guys already know about my salad-for-breakfast thing and are still reading, I’m guessing you are all ok with my weirdness. (Everyone needs that one [...]

My boys are extremely active. Case in point, yesterday we went on an hour and 20 minute hike UP a ski mountain, and they still had the energy to play outside until the rain brought them in last night. (I on the other hand, was wiped out and very happy to sit and watch them [...]

A few weeks ago on a Whole Foods shopping extravaganza, something caught my eye in the bulk section. Strangely, it wasn’t a baby (that left me realizing just how big my boys are getting) or even a really cute guy (whom I’m almost old enough to be his mother, making me realize how old I’m [...]

Anyone who knows me knows I stress a bit about what my boys eat. I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my adult life thanks to unhealthy eating habits I learned as a child. I KNOW so much about how to eat, I like to cook, I really don’t have a huge appetite, yet [...]
