The Sacrifice of Seafood

March 28, 2007

 
I just thought I would post here some proof that we do eat things other than cakes, cookies and baked goods. Seafood is one of my favorite things to eat. I love Fridays during Lent because we are obligated to not eat meat, which means that seafood is the food of choice.
One of my favorite [...]

Pack on the Pounds Cake

March 25, 2007

 
History shows that the name pound cake originated from the fact that the original pound cake recipes contained one pound each of butter, sugar, flour and eggs. I am not convinced that is the real reason. I think the real meaning behind the name pound cake comes from the fact that you will certainly pack [...]

Baby Fat

March 22, 2007

 
Hmmmm… I wonder why after 9 months, I am still carrying around an extra 15 pounds of leftover baby weight. It couldn’t possibly have anything do do with all the baking I do, could it? Surely not. I am convinced it is because of all the wonderful food blogs out there and the incredible photos [...]

Breaking the Rules

March 20, 2007

 
There is a little coffee shop here in town that we like to frequent. The Country Club Cafe is a great hangout for moms because it provides us with a nice, relaxing environment to chat with our friends while our kids get to play quietly in the designated kids play area. The coffee is great, [...]

Off Limits

March 16, 2007

I was so excited yesterday when I stumbled across a recipe for Malt-Fudge brownies over at the Tummy Treasure blog. I needed a dessert to take to our Mom’s Night Out game night and chocolate anything is usually a hit with women. I knew I had a lot of leftover malted milk balls from the Malt [...]

Happy Bisquick Day

March 15, 2007

 
Bisquick is one of those controversial ingredients that can cause quite a stir among people who cook. Are you a "real" cook if you use a pre-boxed mix for anything or should everything be from scratch? The same controversy surrounds cans of cream soup (cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, etc). Is it considered cheating [...]

Lunch Time Blues

March 14, 2007

Written for Kids Cuisine on the Well Fed Network

I often struggle with our weekday lunch. It is the most frustrating part of the day for me because I have a hard time getting creative and making a quick and healthy lunch that my kids will enjoy. I am also very tempted at lunchtime to scrap [...]

Love Thy Neighbor

March 12, 2007

{First of all…sorry about the lack of any posting this past week. We had a death in the family and my kids and I went out of town for the visitation and funeral. We’ve had some other tragic extended family stuff going on this past week as well… it has been kind of a crazy [...]

Is It Monday Yet??

March 5, 2007

I am going to start this post off by saying I love my husband… I truly do. I love spending time with him. I love having long leisurely weekends with him. I love the fact that he is a great dad, a great husband, a great helper around the house. He is way more than [...]
