With the warmer months coming, some of us will be turning to iced coffee instead of hot.

Finally there is more fresh produce to choose from at the grocery store, including a summer time favorite – corn on the cob! Corn on the cob and watermelon are two sure signs that summer is on the way! I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sunshine Sweet Corn. I [...]
When I ask my kids what they want for dinner, more times than not, they will request pasta! Pasta is a family favorite for my family and probably yours too. There is a lot of confusion over how healthy pasta is or is not. You may be surprised to know that pasta offers a good [...]

Disclosure: I received the book Power Vegan for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. We all know that eating fresh fruits and vegetables, and non-processed, preservative free foods are key to a healthy lifestyle.

Guessing. Getting suggestions from neighbors and family- that’s how the art of vegetable gardening happens in most backyards yards around town. But what grows well in one yard might not always work in the next- what’s the deal? You can shake your head and suffer from your fate of thinking that you did not follow [...]

I have never held a brunch in my home. When I was invited by Eggland’s Best to check out their delicious brunch recipes, I was inspired! My family didn’t get together for Easter over Easter weekend, so we got together this past weekend for a brunch. We all had fun checking out new brunch recipes [...]
How much fruit do your kids waste? Most fruit isn’t “kid size” and is too much for them to consume in one setting. As a helper at my kids’ schools for lunch, I see plenty of 1/2 eaten fruit getting tossed in the garbage every day! It is awful. I just learn about kid size [...]

Last night I concocted my own version of several Broccoli, Cheddar soup recipes I found on line. Many recipes I read were full of butter, cream and processed cheese. I wanted something healthier and less caloric. My family LOVED this soup, including my picky five year old. My 10 year old said it was better [...]
Cooking with kids can be so much fun – here is a simple “recipe” to cook with kids any day of the week. I use the word “recipe” loosely because it is more of an activity. My daughter came home from school with a Scholastic Parent & Child magazine last week. She had read it [...]
