I have just returned from Iowa! Did ya miss me? Did ya happen to see a 5 month pregnant woman running through the Atlanta airport last night in an effort to catch her connecting flight back to New York on time? If you did, let’s just pretend that wasn’t me. No, instead let’s chat about … Read more

Some days you’ve totally got your act in gear. And then there are other days where you don’t. Like the kind of days where you’re forced to use holiday muffin tins for pumpkin muffins at the end of October. Good thing the horde of hungry kids at snack time didn’t notice.

The girls and I hiked, biked and triked ourselves a couple of blocks to our local farmers market this afternoon. We enjoyed the sites. The sounds. (Asparagus speaks to me.) The signs. The realization that tonight’s dinner plans were about to be revamped. Brussels sprouts can wait until tomorrow. Asparagus Frittata A couple tablespoons of … Read more
