The Prepared Mama (Recipe – Turkey Black Bean Burgers)

May 9, 2010

The other day, I was sitting in a room full of moms, when a lady came in with a screaming toddler. He had cut his big toe something awful and needed a band-aid. In that room full of moms, I was able to open my purse and pull out a first aid kit with band-aids. [...]

Sequence of Events (Recipe: Paula Deen’s Cookies & Cream Cupcakes)

April 19, 2010

Lazy Days (Recipe: Eggadilla)

June 10, 2009

I am typically an early riser. Not necessarily because I want to be but because I have been forced to be by a husband who chooses to go to work at 5:30am and kiddos who somehow inherited some insane early rising gene. Why is it that even when they go to bed late, they still [...]
