In all of my years of experimenting with food I have never met a pancake I didn’t like. There is just something about them, smothered with syrup and butter. YUM!!! But then gluten free went and screwed me, GF pancakes back when I found out about my allergy was a bit of a challenge. You…

When it comes to breakfast it’s pretty much a no brainer… Smoothie with Sunwarrior Protein Powder. The chocolate is my jam and I usually enjoy one of these with a handful of nuts or seeds on the side. But what’s in these breakfast drink concoctions you ask??? Well let me tell you… I have three that…

Christmas always means treats lurking at every corner, cookies, cakes, squares and pies. It’s like all of a sudden everyone wants to get fat and they want you to come along for the ride. So being the health nut that I am, I “try” to make my go to dessert options with a cow crumbs…

I’ve had some pretty interesting jobs to date, some would call it a bit of an eclectic mix, but I call it a buffet of fun. Started out as a babysitter first, but then when I was ready to be a working gal my first “real” job was mall guide extraordinaire, yep that’s right, the…

You know how some people excel in certain talents, how does that happens??? How do we all of a sudden become good at something? Are we born with some sort of showoff gene that’s waiting in the wings to impress the pants off everyone around us? Take my sister for example, she honestly makes Martha…

When Jessica Seinfeld’s first cookbook came out Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food I remember thinking why would you need to trick your kids to eat good food??? You’re the adult they’re the child they eat it or they don’t get up from the table. That’s how we did it….

Everyone seems to have a preference when it comes to sleeping. Left side, right side, window open, heated blanket, teeny-tiny night light, bat cave dark, maybe even a little white noise in the background. For me I need black out darkness, I don’t even want to see my hand in front of my face. AND…

There have been a few times in my life where I felt that I knew where I was going, thought that I was on a pretty clear path to my future. But life has a funny way of changing when you least expect it. A few of those forks in the road have put me…

I think out of all of the holidays Thanksgiving is one of the BEST. Turkey with roasted root vegetables, petits pois (that’s French for DELICOUS) and of course it wouldn’t be thanksgiving without stuffing and pie. People always tend to think that the bird is the showstopper but it’s what’s shoved inside that really counts….

There are three reasons why I like the fall; one because the leaves are amazing and it makes me want to be outside. Two the fashion is so stylish, scraves, boots, knee high socks, lots of layers… LOVE. Sometimes less is NOT more. And three because root vegetables complete me. You know that scene in…

Twinkies, Pop Tarts, Jos Louis, Bugles, they all have one thing in common, they immediately bring me back to my childhood. And let’s not forget the square dish of sugary gelatinous jello that used to make an appearance on occasion, but for the most part snacks were made from scratch. Like rice krispie squares. It was one…
