I was packing Trey’s snack and book bag (yes we’re in school until the bitter end of June, here) while simultaneously sipping coffee.
The news caught my attention and suddenly a memory overcame me:
While I have always loved Christmas, I was also fourteen years old and very little could pass [...]
If you know how to make spaghetti, you can make this impressive and easy pasta dish. It’s fresh and full of spring flavors that pop off the plate; perfect for the warmer weather we’re having.
It’s fresh, tangy, savory and a little sweet. The pasta [...]
Fresh seasonal vegetables are not devastating by any stretch of the imagination. However, when standing back and looking at the concept of a grilled cheese sandwich, one must remember that simplicity is what gives the sandwich integrity. I am personally guilty of forgetting this, which is why I am bringing [...]
The sun is streaming down as the bugs bite and the birds chatter; They say it’s going to be hot today followed by late afternoon thunderstorms. Are you a fan of thunderstorms? An afternoon thunderstorm after a hot day instigates both a rush of excitement and simultaneous coziness, so naturally, I am a fan. Also, thunderstorms [...]
Have I told you about our local pizzeria? It’s absolutely dreadful on every level: The ingredients are deplorable, the seasoning is inconsistent, their cleanliness is questionable and everything is appallingly overpriced.

Months went by as the snow was blowing and the [...]
Thank you Babble for declaring me one of their Top 100 Food Mom Bloggers! While I attempt to gasp for air and snap myself out of shock and maybe not totally geek out if I can help it (have you seen who’s on that list?! WOAH!), I will share with [...]
This flaky and tender golden shell of a crust surrounds rich mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. It’s filled over an inch high with whatever you can imagine and topped with a hearty and flavorful tomato sauce of your choice; it’s one of my most favorite things to both make and eat, honestly. [...]
I have spring fever.
I don’t mean that it’s so nice and warm out that all I want to do is go outside and play, though that would be nice. No, I mean, it’s going to snow tomorrow and that makes me want to scream a bit. Don’t get me wrong. [...]
