Baseball Mom (and Chickpea Tostadas)

My kids LOVE baseball. It’s the first and last thing they think of everyday, and their absolute favorite free time activity. I’ve never seen them so insanely happy to do anything-which is fantastic. In fact, their genuine happiness makes the 3,000 “breathe” alerts I get from my Apple Watch worth it. Apparently rushing from one thing to the next stresses me out, go figure.

Super Bowl (and Candied Bacon)

Is there anything else better than bacon? Yes, I tell you, yes there is, it’s called: Candied Bacon. And if you’re getting fancy this Super Bowl Sunday, this is the kind of Bacon you want to be having. No one is going to remember who won, they’re just going to see this, and ask you to bring it year after year, because, who can say no to bacon?

Fancy Cookware (and Easy Braciole)

Perfect for a comforting meal at home, or wowing your dinner guests.

Unknown to many people, my husband (hi, hubby!), is a professionally trained chef. The first time he made me dinner, he whipped up tacos with homemade mango salsa. Yeah, I know, pretty impressive. To top it off, that was his  “Oh-I’ll-just-whip-this-up-in-two-minutes-dinner.” He’s a foodie. I’m a foodie. It’s a match made in heaven.

Cooking Burnout (and Ropa Vieja)

I don’t want to cook. Really now, the Eat24 app has been my BFF for the last few weeks. Between Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the long list of Holiday parties and events, I’ve been clocking some serious kitchen time. I LOVE cooking, but the weeknight dinners between those big feasts are starting to get to me, go figure. See, I am human. Don’t tell my kids. Continue reading “Cooking Burnout (and Ropa Vieja)” →

The 5am Wake-Up (and Veggie Lasagna)

What is it with kids and their dislike for sleep? I just don’t get it. All moms know the feeling: dozing off, warm and snug, dreaming of something fantastic, like never folding laundry again, then, WHAM!, a little ankle biter runs into your room, screaming something ridiculous, like, “why is the door looking at me?!” Como what? Have you lost your mind?  Of course, you think this to yourself, or did you? I can’t remember. Continue reading “The 5am Wake-Up (and Veggie Lasagna)” →

Costco Addict (and Orange Chicken)

Hi. I’m a Costco addict and everyone knows it. I started going to Costco way back when it was called Price Club and have been hooked ever since. I practically use it as a grocery store and my kids haven’t even hit the teens yet. Continue reading “Costco Addict (and Orange Chicken)” →
