Our mornings are generally pretty chaotic, so most of the time breakfast for me is either (a)a smoothie or frozen waffles in the car on my commute, or (b) yogurt or oatmeal at work once I’m settled at my desk. But I’m not gonna lie. It can get pretty boring. Which is why I’m always […]
Just Add Cooking Review + Giveaway
Remember when I said I had TWO giveaways for you this week? This one is a little different, but just as fantastic … and also with a Mother’s Day focus. Oh, and it involves food. I have been such a slacker with my meal planning lately. First I was following the 21 Day Fix (stay […]
Who Remembers Prince Spaghetti Day?
I participated in Blog Blast on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Prince Pasta. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating. Every day when I pick up my kids after school, the first words out of their mouth are always, “What’s for dinner?” Not “Hi, Mommy!” or “How was your day?” Nope, it’s […]

Honestly, I think we all needed it (not just Mimi, who — […]
Meal Planning (Week of Jan. 26)
I will try to get through my rundown of this week’s meal plan without getting sick. Just the sort of opener I’m sure you were looking for with a weekly dinner menu post, right? But on Friday afternoon, I came down with a sudden (and pretty brutal) flu-like illness, complete with queasiness and a general […]
