The other day I noticed that I had a couple of bananas that were a little too ripe for my liking. Instead of throwing them away, I wanted to make a banana nut bread. But I soon realized I did not have all the ingredients including one of the most important, the nuts. So instead, I made an appetizing whole wheat banana bread muffin that turned … [Read more...]
We recently just purchased 40 pounds of skinless boneless chicken breasts. I'm not sure what the crap I was thinking when I ordered it, but since we have it, we've been putting it to use in most of our meals. The kids have pretty much quit asking what's for dinner -- good thing because we still have 35 pounds left ;-) And because I married … [Read more...]

I'll be the first to admit that I cringed at the thought of grocery shopping. Literally cringe. I used to enjoy going grocery shopping with my hubby. We'd walk each and every aisle just to see if there was something we wanted that wasn't on our list. Fast forward a few years and add three children and grocery shopping is no longer fun. In fact, I … [Read more...]
I'll be perfectly honest with you and admit that I have no idea how to pair foods with beverages. So, when I accepted the challenge of pairing the new Lipton Green Tea Superfruit with a dish, I had to do some major research. And I mean major research! Thanks, Google! After trying each variety of the new Lipton Green Tea Superfruit (White … [Read more...]
Dinner time is a special time in our house. I especially look forward to this time because I get to talk with the whole family and we just share everything about our day -- the good and the bad! It seems like dinner time is the only time that we have where we are all seated together and things are somewhat calm. Before dinner, it's the rush of … [Read more...]
My children absolutely love pizza. If given the opportunity, I'm sure they would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But if I can be perfectly honest here, I'm getting bored of the same 'ol round pizza with pepperoni and cheese. So I decided to do something about it. When I still lived at home, my parents used to stock the freezer with pizza … [Read more...]
Okay, let's face it. Sometimes getting kids to eat healthy can present quite a challenge. For example, wheat bread. Some brands are just downright dry and tasteless and I don't blame the little people for not wanting to eat it. That's why I love Sara Lee Iron Kids! Sara Lee Iron Kids is a more nutritious white bread that offers as much … [Read more...]
