A Working Mom's Guide to Food, Family & Fun
Pizza! Pizza! I love pizza!! Pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch, pizza for dinner, pizza for snack! I LOVE PIZZA! You know what else I love even more than pizza?! HEALTHY PIZZA!!!! And that’s what you’re gonna get with these two pizza recipes! I used Flatout Flatbread’s new thin crust flatbread that come in at [...]
Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE me some diet coke!! Too much and I know that I have admitted that I am, in fact, addicted to the stuff! That being said, when I was asked to become a member of The Republic of Tea‘s Enlightenment Team, I was a little concerned that I wouldn’t be [...]
I’m not sure if I have ever mentioned this before, but there are a few things that I simply have no will power against……Pizza, rotel dip, sausage cheese balls, red wine, and the Southern fave hash brown casserole!!! And you know what goes with hash brown casserole like peanut butter goes with jelly?!?!? KETCHUP!!!!!!! Traditional [...]
I have to admit that Asian cuisine is not my favorite. It is simply a matter of personal preference. I LOVE sushi, but could kind of take or leave most of the other stuff. Maybe it’s the water chestnuts or heavy sesame-ginger flavors that keep me away, but I have to say this somewhat [...]

I love New Year’s Eve, I really do……BUT I kinda feel like it is a bit overrated and we tend to set kind of unrealistic expectations as to how wonderful the night should be. Don’t get me wrong, though, I love the idea of spending the evening with great friends and kissing the one you love [...]
Stuffed pig! That is pretty much what the holidays make me feel like. Self will, be gone and Stretchy Pants, get ready for action. My Christmas countdown also contains a bit of excitement for the countdown until the holiday excuse for overindulgence ends and I can get back on track with my normal daily food [...]
Leaves were falling, just like embers, In colors red and gold, they set us on fire Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes. Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues. Fall, glorious Fall!!! You have finally arrived. Cooler weather, beautiful leaves and who [...]
