Tuesday Talk: Quick Dinner
March 5, 2013 By
The Husband is back to work this week (yay!) which means I now have to make up for the eight weeks I neglected my own job. I have clients and writing assignments and I'm writing a book (yeah, more on that later.) so I'm beyond capacity with stuff to … [Read more...]
Easy Gluten Free Granola
February 28, 2013 By
About a year ago I went on a granola making binge. I was never satisfied. Every recipe had what seemed like a zillion ingredients and no matter how long or short or low or high I cooked, it never turned out the way I thought granola should. I'm not … [Read more...]
Waist and Budget Friendly Chicken Pot Pie
February 20, 2013 By

Second Time Chicken
October 25, 2012 By
Saturday night we had my husband's sisters and one brother-in-law over for dinner. I knew we would be at the beach all day so in the morning I got up and made a huge tub of pesto with the garlic scapes I had from my vegetable delivery. In case … [Read more...]
Smoothie Standby
October 5, 2012 By
My kids are pretty good eaters but my oldest is by far the pickiest. She has a penchant for cheese fries and anything white. Yes, the anti-health coach diet is her preferred diet. So, when she asks for something healthy, I jump on it. She loves a … [Read more...]
