A Working Mom's Guide to Food, Family & Fun
So like this recipe, I will keep this post short and sweet! Last week when EVERYTHING in our house was in boxes to move except for a very few essentials, I needed a quick and easy dinner. I honestly don’t know where the inspiration came from, but after scanning the kitchen for what I had [...]
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 shared these Baked Polenta Triangles last week on the blog What’s Cooking with Ruthie, where I will be a monthly contributor on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. I made these for a recent open house that was being held at 2 in the afternoon. I always find that any party or special occasion [...]

This time of year I keep crescent rolls in my fridge on the regular and however I choose to [...]
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 [...]
Corny, but gets me every time!! “Under construction” seems to be a recurring theme in my life these days. We bought our house almost 3 years ago and aside from a few cosmetic updates, it was virtually as it was the day it was finished being built in 1987. I am not a huge fan [...]
