I’ve been complaining a lot about the weather lately. I mean, do you blame me? Snow in May? That’s a bunch of craziness! I’m so ready for spring like weather… flip flops, warm sunshine, outdoor patio playing, chalk drawing, driving with the windows down and music blaring… all of that. Having my heater on [...]

I hope you all enjoyed my post about Jennifer Perillo’s new cookbook, Homemade with Love. I’m back today, sharing a cookbook by another friend: Steamy Kitchen’s Healthy Asian Favorites by Jaden Hair.

Spring Into Lunch with Glad {Recipe: Salted Caramel Almonds}
Amazing lunches have never been my strong suit. Dinner? I can do. Lunch? It’s always been hard for me to create lunches my kids will enjoy and that won’t get thrown out with the trash when lunch is over. I used to simply do sandwiches for them… I’d add a fruit and some pretzels or [...]
Cheesecake Minis with Strawberry Balsamic Mint Topping
I’ve had a love affair with cheesecake practically my whole life, but, would you believe this is my first time ever making cheesecake? It is my absolute favorite dessert, hands down, but for some reason I’ve always left the cheesecake making up to everyone else. I should have known that once I actually made cheesecake [...]
Easter Bites {Recipe: Blueberry Mousse Filled Mini Fillo Shells}
I always like to think of Easter as our official start of spring, but I also remember that each year, I become the biggest sucker around and buy my girls beautiful Easter dresses. You know the ones… the sleeveless dresses, bathed in beautiful pastel colors, created with light and breezy fabric. In my typical ways, [...]

You won’t find any spoilers in this post… just wanted to let you know that ahead of time! Let me start by telling you, I was late to the Downton Abbey wagon. Because of that, I have had to avoid social media like the plague as it is quite the hot topic in my Twitter [...]
I Caved {Recipe: Biscoff Glaze for Homemade Baked Doughnuts}
Scroll down for an amazing doughnut recipe! I remember a time in my life when I didn’t care for doughnuts. I was in college, and apparently I had the ability to turn off some little switch that kept me from liking things that were not so great for you. You know that switch? The one [...]
Strawberry Pomegranate Vitamin Burst Float
Leave it to me to turn something good for you into something not as good for you. Did you know Green Mountain Coffee has a line of wellness K-Cup packs? It’s true!
Simple Treats {Skittles Marshmallow Pops}
I did something ahead of time for a holiday. Can you believe it? I’m feeling rather on the ball right now. I signed up to bring treats to Leah’s Valentine’s Day party at her preschool. I don’t usually do that… I typically leave treat bringing up to the more creative, “pinteresting” moms, but I figured [...]
