Thanking the person who invented Reese’s

This is the time of year we dig deep and think about what we are truly thankful for.
A loving husband. Healthy children. Food on the table. A roof over our heads.
Yes, I am grateful for all of the wonderful blessings in my life, but let’s go outside the box and have a “shallow” moment here.
As [...]

Raise your fork to fall!

My favorite time of year has finally arrived. Tis the season for apples, pumpkin pie and countless food festivals all over the U.S. — The Beer Festival in Colorado, The Shrimp Festival in New Orleans and, of course, an Okotober Fest on every corner.
However, my all time favorite is the NYC Food & Wine Festival. [...]

A journey into the smoke

There’s a big secret your husband has been keeping from you for years. It’s nothing to do with infidelity or life as a secret agent. No, this secret hits a little closer to home than that.
You know how every summer your husband polishes his ‘special’ grilling utensils as though he is the direct descendant of [...]

Leprechauns, shamrocks, green beer, oh my!

We all know that toasting to a glass of green ale at the local pub is one of the most popular ways to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, however, for me, there is something soooo “1990’s” about green beer.
I can’t quite put my finger on why that era comes to mind … Perhaps it was the [...]

Visions of Krispy Kremes dancing in their heads

A sugarplum? What the heck is that?
Well, I was curious and since it is officially Twas the Night before Christmas season, I thought I would do a little google search to get to the bottom of the mystery of what those children REALLY had dancing around in their heads.
What I learned is that the tasty [...]

Food For Thought

I can’t cook. There, I said it.
I can’t cook and my poor husband (bless his heart) is sentenced to a life of chicken tacos and sloppy joes until the day Meals on Wheels comes to his rescue and makes him a hot, tasty lasagna.
Unfortunately for him, we have a few years before the food is [...]

Mommy, I’m Hungry

Some of us moms call them “grazers.” You know, it’s the ONE child we have in our household that eats the itsy-bitsy-teeny snacks … ALL … DAY … LONG. According to Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser, it’s the proper way to eat to stay healthy, but how many times a day can we hear [...]

Eat This, Not That

Most of us started the New Year with resolutions so lofty and vague they were bound to be broken by spring. Make your changes stick this year by making them attainable. Instead of resolving to “eat healthier”, zero-in on specific behaviors you know you can stick with. For example: I will eat fruit and [...]

Tired Of Leftovers?

Let me set the stage for you… It’s day 7 with the kids home from school & you are entertaining a houseful of guests. You’ve already eaten all of the Christmas dinner leftovers, exhausted the family favorite recipes and ordered pizza (twice). Well have no fear, the “Dish It” lady is here!
A simple family favorite [...]

Holiday Entertaining “SoMo Style”

Having friends over to celebrate the holidays should never be expensive, stressful or a lot of work. Remember the saying the “hostess with the mostest?” Well, scratch that, think of it as the “hostess with the leastest.” LESS IS MORE! The key to a fun evening is to keep it simple and casual.
