Fish is Delish…Serve it on a Dish

September 28, 2012

When the weeone was a toddler and preschooler she would love nothing more than completely rocking out when we were in the car. Now, mind you, rocking out to her meant playing the CD given to us by my friend, Tina, who owns Arts Alive – an interactive arts learning concept for children. The disc [...]

Pizza For Breakfast: It Doesn’t Have To Be Cold

September 26, 2012

In college pizza for breakfast was semi-regular. Of course, that was traditional pizza left over and tossed in the refrigerator and eaten cold while running to an 8am class trying not to be late…again.

This Little Piggy Likes Mango: Caribbean Pork Chops with Mango Salsa

September 12, 2012

I came across a recipe from Cooking Light that had to be attempted. The weeone doesn’t always love pork (unless it is in the form of bacon, lots and lots of bacon), but this one was too pretty and too tempting to pass up. I have fond memories of pan fried, bone-in pork chops as [...]

Any pasta recipe immediately catches my eye, but one with a crustacean AND vodka? Sold. I’ve actually had this one earmarked for quite some time, [...]

Because Chocolate Is A Food Group

July 24, 2011

It’s true you know. If you want, you can make chocolate its own food group. I did. And even when you’re trying to slim down a bit, chocolate does not have to be completely off the menu. That’s a VERY good thing, because I might become homicidal if you try to take chocolate away from [...]

Life (and shrimp) happens. =)

April 8, 2009

The months of March, April and May in my house mean one thing – softball. This is the weeone’s 3rd year as a Cricket and it’s her last in this division. One final year of teeball…it makes me sad and it makes me happy all at the same time. Teeball is so much fun – [...]
