Cold S’mores {No Bake & Super Easy!}

cold smores

  I first learned about cold s’mores during the summer of 2006 when my son was enrolled in the sweetest little cooking class for preschoolers (it was actually the summer before he started preschool, he wasn’t even three years old!). It was a mommy and me style cooking class where we made simple and easy recipes with […]

Maple Roasted Butternut Squash With Brussels Sprouts

maple roasted butternut squash and brussels sprouts

I’m a real good cook and an even better baker but I will never strive to be a food blogger. Or food photographer. In fact, if there wasn’t already camera built into my phone, I would probably still be making use of my Fisher Price blue camera with the separate attachment for the flash (please tell me you had […]

Vacation From Cooking?

  The little boy (who really isn’t all that little anymore as I watch him inch closer in height to myself) woke up yesterday morning claiming a sore throat in the same sentence as informing me that the first pitch for Mets opening day would be at 1:00 pm in the afternoon. Did he really think […]

All Holidayed-Out

  Something interesting happened after we spoke yesterday morning. I didn’t feel well. It was a short-lived bout with “not feeling well” but I was nauseous enough to know that there was no way I could go for a run. Or even a walk. Or attempt any form of my 30 minutes a day. Doesn’t […]

Chocolate Cake On The Mind But Let’s Talk About Dinner

  You are in luck this morning; I have to get the little boy up and out early for a routine doctor’s appointment therefore I do not have a lot of time to rehash my love for the chocolate fudge cookie dough layer cake or discuss with you how I am still thinking about it, talking […]

Birthday Dinner Preparations And Chocolate Fudge Frosting

  Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. I thought about sending him an Edible Arrangement knowing he would offer to share it with me but I decided not to go with a completely selfish birthday gift. I don’t even think he likes chocolate dipped fruit, or really any fruit besides an apple. Instead, I decided to prepare and host a […]

Too Plugged In…

It is a good thing the school year is just about over. This folder may not look like it is in bad shape to you, but the fact that it is the 7th one I have bought for this school year and it is already torn in several spots, I know we are reaching the end of […]

Foodcation

Hi friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. In addition to running around the town this weekend (in my favorite new flip flops might I add), I gave some more thought to Gwyneth and her grueling workout routine. Perhaps I owe her an apology. I guess I was most bothered by her comment […]

It’s Three Tip Tuesday!

So yesterday’s workout was less than stellar. It was one of those where you know it is getting you nowhere therefore you are already thinking ahead to saving your muscles and strength for the next day. Oh well, a crummy workout one day means a great one is on the horizon, right? Anyway, today is […]

The Bright Side of the Blizzard

Good thing I planned ahead and ran on Thursday instead of today. Easily 2 feet of snow. Now, I am really not one to complain, so let’s look on the bright side, shall we? I was able to make it to the grocery store and stock up on the rest of my essentials: I also […]
