Jazzing Up a Classic

May 7, 2012

Tweet   Remember around Easter when I reposted my nonpareils recipe?   Well, I made them to go in my kids’ Easter baskets.  Actually, let me be frank: I made them thinking they would be for my kids’ Easter baskets, but I really ended up eating most of them.  I just couldn’t help it, and [...]

There’s a Full Moon Tonight– Eat Allergy-Free Moon Pies

May 5, 2012

TweetTonight is the ginormous moon that you may have been hearing about.  You know, the one that people are complaining about because it will be so bright and beautiful that you won’t be able to see any meteor showers.  I’m never awake late enough to see them, anyway, so I’m excited about the moon.  If [...]

Daddies Make the Best Pasta

May 1, 2012

Tweet This is what my daughter said over the weekend.   In our house, daddies ONLY make pasta.  However, we have a lot of male friends who are phenomenal cooks.  So, I just wanted to write a quick blurb to say that while I dominate the kitchen in our family, this stereotype is just that, [...]

Chicken Soup For My Weary Soul

April 30, 2012

Tweet I am really into soup right now. OK, so maybe not Campbell’s, but if I could eat it, I would be into it.   I know it’s a little strange to be so into soup with summer right around the corner.  Soup is a winter food, a comfort food.  It’s also a leftover food [...]

April 27, 2012

TweetToday’s post comes to you courtesy of my oldest daughter, Margot.  I am, of course, a proud mommy, but I love, love, love that, when faced with a writing assignment, she and her friend Asher chose to write about cake.  It is, after all, my very favorite subject. These two budding authors have big plans: they [...]
