My in-laws came to Jack’s soccer game this morning. As we watched the kids chase the ball up and down the field (have you ever been to a soccer game for three and four-year-olds before? Good times…), my mother-in-law asked me what plans I had for the weekend. I told her we were spending much …
Sundays are designated “football days” in our house. I get a little bit excited to watch the Cowboys (and the Chargers), but to me it mostly means a day of decompressing in front of the television while the kids play on the floor and occasionally poke their heads up from their blocks or crayons to …
Since we’ve started meal planning (on week four and going strong), I’ve really been looking for recipes that my kids will eat with as little drama as possible. I’m making a conscious effort to keep the kids in mind when planning dinner so I know there will be foods that they will eat, and I’m …
I love this dish because you don’t actually have to cook (woohoo!). The toughest part of this recipe is using a can opener to open the cans of fruit, and even that can be avoided if you buy the cans with the handy pull-open lids. Kids love this, adults love this, and it lasts for …
If you’ve ever been to a health and wellness blog, or a natural living blog, or a site with cleaning tips, or a recipe blog, you’ve likely heard of apple cider vinegar. This versatile substance can be used for so many things…everyone is talking about it! And today? I’m going to talk about it, too. …
After Claire was born, I asked my mother-in-law (Grammie) to please bring us a few dinners that we could eat in those hectic newborn days. You know – the days when you can’t put the baby down to go pee, let alone prepare a hot meal and eat with two hands. One of the meals …
One “mom task” that I simply cannot wrap my head around – and that everyone.else.under.the.sun seems to be capable of – is meal planning! Maybe it’s because I can’t cook, maybe it’s because I love the pizza at our local pizza place and can always be convinced to order it, maybe it’s because domestic capabilities …
If you’re looking for a homemade spaghetti sauce recipe that everyone will love, I’ve got you covered Actually, my Mother-in-Law’s got you covered – this is one recipe that my “Cooking with Grammie” series would be incomplete without – everyone loves this stuff (even picky people, like me). It’s full of flavor and super hearty …
It’s time for another recipe from Grammie (my mother-in-law, the awesome cook). This time, I’m bringing you my favorite “comfort food” (although, it’s not too bad for you as far as comfort foods go) – and even better, you can make it in your crock pot. Anyway, even though my pictures don’t do this meal …
Update to the original post, which was publish in December of 2012: I originally created this for a holiday craft competition held by Driscoll’s Berries. I think this project would make an awesome addition to any summer celebrations, though – and berries are much cheaper when they’re actually in season! I’m not particularly crafty (and …
