Some of us (who shall go unnamed) have been feeling a lot like this for the past week or so. (He’s pretending he’s a pregnant woman.) This means that meals around here have been a bit lackluster lately. I’ve been letting Barbie’s Sharpie outfits steal the show. I just realized that I post quite a … Read more
The first thing I need to tell you is that this was not my idea. In fact, I kept trying to change the subject every time it came up, in the hopes that they’d forget all about it. The little one made fruit shish kabobs with a group of her little friends last week. On … Read more
It’s been a busy week playing catch up after being out of town for a few days, so I’m here today to share a couple of random things worth trying if you’re looking for something new to do with yourself, your mouth or even your hair. First! Try Brushing Your Teeth in the Dark. Thanks … Read more
So What Are We Putting in the Blender Today?
January 31st, 2012 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)Avocado! That’s right. We’re putting avocado in the blender this morning ’cause we’re making a chocolate avocado smoothie for breakfast. Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too. See, I’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before because avocados usually don’t make it past salads, bean burritos or stay-at-home burrito bowls around here. But today, half an … Read more
I get these “Your Pregnancy This Week” emails that list a myriad of facts and tidbits about the wee babe growing inside my uterus, along with any other timely pregnancy notes.

I’m on reprieve from my usual cooking, cleaning and other domestic duties for a bit here thanks to an early Christmas gift for the girls. We’re in Toronto! Me, two girlies, one fetus and one Granny Weeds. We had to leave Dad at home to go to that pesky thing called work. Don’t feel too … Read more
A few things to tell you today. One: Banana, kiwi and diced oranges make the best fruit salad. EVER. I want to weep when I look at this simple salad and remember how amazing it was. But then again I weep when the Disney World commercials play on Hulu during The Biggest Loser, so take … Read more
Today, I had a plan. That plan was to make dinner early, so that when we got home from an outing with friends late this afternoon, dinner would be mostly ready. All that would be left to do would be to make some guac to top it all off. And that plan worked. For the … Read more
Can you eat just coleslaw for dinner? I can. You can too if you want, I won’t tell. Here’s how you do it. First, spend your afternoon at a child’s birthday party that you didn’t intend to stay at. When your sometimes-shy-sometimes-not 5 year old persuades/begs you to stay because today she’s feeling shy, you … Read more
A fast and color coordinated black bean burger and orange fries for dinner tonight! Too bad my black burger was obscured by a piece of provolone cheese. The black and orange effect was lost. Good thing veggie burger love knows no color. And a letter: Dear Frozen Sweet Potato Fries from a Bag, I didn’t … Read more
