Menu planning: Week 6

Posted on January 4, 2011. Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , |

I’m really on a roll (badumpcha!) with my new cookbook! As I was browsing my brand-new baby the other day, Greg was leering over my shoulder making suggestions about which recipes I should start with.  Cinnamon rolls were at the top of his list.

Random Reason #874 why I love my husband

Posted on December 6, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , |

The man is full of surprises. Despite the fact that I’ve known him since I was 3 years old, he still manages to surprise me every now & then. I love the quirky surprising things like Bon Jovi is his all-time favorite band or that he bought Brock a copy of a Shel Silverstein book of [...]

Did you vote today?  It only takes 2 clicks!  Since I’m trying to be healthy*, part of that includes not eating myself into a candy-induced coma after the kids go to bed & I raid their plastic pumpkins stuffed full of goodies after we go trick-or-treating.
