My children are normally in bed by 8:00 but opening night for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus “Built To Amaze” was just the beginning of the night for them. The pre-show started at 6:30 which was jam packed with clowns, bounce houses, Elephants and even a host dancing with the kids. From [...]

This recipe is an oldie but goody in my house.  If you think you don’t like Brussel Sprouts I strongly urge you to try this recipe. I started making this recipe about a year ago when I was trying to get my family to expand their vegetable taste buds. Brussel Sprouts have always been the dreaded vegetable [...]

I don’t have any medical issues with Gluten but after having a bad episode of Lyme Disease about 2 month ago which left me paralyzed in my right leg for a few weeks I decided to drastically change my diet to an anti-inflammatory diet.  I started following the Paleo Diet and immediately noticed a HUGE improvement in my [...]

I’m always on the hunt to sneak healthy ingredients into my recipes, after all I do have a 5 yr. old, a picky 2 yr. old and a pickier husband. Last St. Patricks Day I found an extremely easy recipe from Roni’s Weigh using a boxed cake mix and Spinach. Yup, you heard me SPINACH. [...]

Christmas is little more than 2 weeks away and the little gifts can be easily forgotten, but who doesn’t love a homemade granola!? My daughter takes ballet and I love to give her ballet instructors a small token of gratitude at Christmas.  The best way to show someone you care for or appreciate them is [...]

Thanksgiving is less than a week away and being the procrastinator that I am, I’m still hunting down new recipes to try out this year. I love all things pumpkin, but I like to add a twist every year to my Thanksgiving table and instead of making the traditional pie I’ll be making Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars. The [...]

Preschool and Ballet classes are back in session and I’m on the hunt for quick dinners. If it was up to hubby we’d be eating out every night but I am on a mission to keep take out to a minimum this year. I need something quick and nutritious to prepare for dinner, and when I come home late I am in [...]
