Good Monday morning! Do I sound chipper? I do not feel chipper. I’ve been up for an hour and I’m on my second cuppa coffee (I usually just have one) and I’m finally starting to feel somewhat awake. I’m also feeling quite uninspired to plan my meals for the week. I wish someone could do… Continue Reading →
Well, I made it to and from Laguna Niguel — albeit not without some travel drama, but safe and sound nonetheless so I’ll take that. Re-entry is always a bit rough, especially when dealing with different time zones, but I’m working on getting myself back into the swing of things! First things first, a meal… Continue Reading →
HOW did it get to be the end of April? I mean, I know, we all say this every month but honestly. It flew by for me. I’m headed out of town this week to the Mom 2.0 Conference in Laguna Beach, California. I know, rough life! Meanwhile my poor family will be left to… Continue Reading →
I’m recovering from a root canal and a weekend away at a conference. Oh yeah, and the root canal went wrong and I’m in miserable toothache pain so I’m not feeling very inspired to eat (or cook.)

We still aren’t sure what is causing the tummy troubles, but after talking with her teacher and tracking the timing of her stomach aches for the past few… Continue Reading →
It’s April 1st! We made it through the worst month of the year! WOO! I can’t tell you how happy I am to say good-bye to March. I will be celebrating all week. MONDAY: Ham and Asparagus Quiche (We have a ton of leftover ham and asparagus from Easter dinner. I am going to modify… Continue Reading →
I’ve been out of town all weekend, and I’m feeling a little bit out of it. Re-entry is always tough. But life must go on and we must eat, so this is what I’m planning to make this week. MONDAY: Pumpkin Pancakes via Practical Paleo (If it’s good, I’ll share the recipe!) TUESDAY: Friday Night Chili with Sweet Cornbread via Home Ec… Continue Reading →
Good Monday morning! I’ve been offline almost all weekend and it’s been GRAND. Sometimes you just need that, ya know?? We reintroduced dairy to my daughter over the weekend, and it did not go so well. She had a stomach ache last night, so we are going to go back to 100% dairy and gluten… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
