It goes without saying that the last (almost) six weeks have been chaotic for our family. I’m not sure anything can prepare you for the sleep deprivation and fatigue that comes along with the blessing of a new baby. Even having done it twice before. It’s kinda like child birth. The memory of how hard [...]

Corn Fried Quinoa

In the last couple of weeks, my husband frequently blurts (Loudly. No matter where we are.) “Waddle, Waddle” when walking behind me. He thinks he’s been funny. I, on the other hand, think he should consider sleeping with one eye open. I’m never one for patience and now really isn’t a good time to be [...]

Being a mom is such a funny thing. Here I talked briefly about how spoiled my boys are. I’m not proud of it but it’s true. They are great kids but my husband really, really loves buying them stuff. It often drives me crazy, but I’ve learned to stay out of it as best I [...]

Quinoa, Spinach & Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Mar 30, 2013 | Wendy Polisi

Thumbnail image for Quinoa, Spinach & Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Once upon a time, casseroles weren’t nearly as interesting to me as they are now. Not that I didn’t like them – because who doesn’t love a good casserole? I just didn’t realize that making foods ahead of time and having a stocked freezer could be so…life changing. The truth is that while I’d love [...]

Chocolate Chip Quinoa Energy Bars

I am officially panicked. Not because I’m nervous about childbirth. (I’m naturally apprehensive, but I wouldn’t call it panicked.) And not because I’m not ready. (Because I have everything and am as ready as I’m going to get.) My issue is that my Midwife is going out of town right after my due date and [...]

You know what my idea of a great meal right now is? Anything the hubby can make and the kids will eat without fussing. In my ideal world, both of these things happen while I prop my feet up and wonder when baby Skye will make an appearance. (FYI – I think I have at [...]

Italian Quinoa

I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and strangely… I think I’m almost ready for baby. The to-do/buy list that seemed so large a few weeks ago is pretty much crossed off. With all of my procrastination, everything actually came together in a couple of weeks- even though I was starting from scratch. Gotta love internet shopping. I’ll [...]

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 [...]

I’ve said this before but today I have to repeat myself: YOU GUYS ROCK! I sincerely appreciate all [...]

Honey Mustard Quinoa Salad

Thumbnail image for Honey Mustard Quinoa Salad

I frequently start out with the intention of creating easy recipes. Really, I do. And then I get in the kitchen and think…ok, I should add more vegetables, a little bit of this seasoning or that herb. Suddenly my salad that started out with 5 or 6 ingredients has turned into 10 or 12. When [...]

Mexican Quinoa Burgers

If you’ve been around here long, you know that once upon a time every third recipe I posted was a burger of some sorts. In the early days before I really opened my eyes to all that could be done with quinoa, burgers or salads were the extent to which my creativity went. Once I [...]

I’ve never been one for Pr0 Football (I’m an SEC girl) but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the Super Bowl. For me, its all about the food that I enjoy while watching with amazement at what advertisers will spend $4 million dollars on. I love appetizers so naturally I adore football food! I am [...]

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 [...]

Apple Quinoa Morning Start

Pregnancy does weird things to you. You moms out there know what I mean. All of a sudden what you usually eat and what you crave become can become two entirely different things. Apparently in my case it makes me more normal. Five months ago, you wouldn’t have caught me eating oatmeal or any type [...]

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 [...]

Apple Pear Quinoa Crumble

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 [...]

Hi, Welcome to the Ritz Carlton for Kids! Oh, I mean my kitchen. I’m pretty sure that my boys are some of the pickiest eaters out there. And I’m also sure that I am largely to blame. In the last seven years I’ve become the accommodating mom that I swore I’d never be. When [...]

I have to admit that I’m kind of glad this past weekend is over. Don’t get me wrong – I loved having four days where I didn’t have to worry about homeschooling or much of anything else. But I also felt a little trapped in my house. You see, I’m one of those weirdos who [...]
