I’ve been shopping at Cost Plus World Market since the early ‘80s. In fact, I consider it one of my “must go to” places for everyday staples like Torani Sugar Free Syrups, spices and tea. It’s also the place we go to get stocking stuffers every Christmas. So when I was asked to shop World [...]
Today’s Secret Recipe Club recipe should be perfect for anyone with too much zucchini in the garden and too much zucchini bread in the freezer. That was the case with Andrea of Adventures in All Things Food when she created her recipe for My Zucchini Troubles Turned Zucchini Bread Pancakes. Since we had no garden [...]
To celebrate National Taco Day, Kitchen PLAY and California Ripe Olives have challenged me to create a taco recipe.

Are you planning to make French Toast this weekend? It’s a favorite of my kids, especially when their Nana is visiting and offers to make it for them.

There’s nothing like coffee in bed on Mother’s Day. But if it’s been hot at your house like it has been at mine, maybe a coffee granita, a type of Italian ice, would be more appropriate. This recipe comes from Chef Michael of ABC’s The Chew. Michael makes this for his own mom, and the [...]

When Lipton asked me to pair one of their Green Tea Superfruit teas with a dish, the first thing that came to mind was the classic combination of toast and tea for breakfast. Lipton’s Superfruit teas come in three flavors (Purple Acai and Blueberry, White Mangosteen and Peach, and Red Goji and Raspberry) but which [...]
The morning rush to school has started. Since I’m the family bus driver, I’m up early, too, so I can have a quick breakfast, vitamins and coffee (and maybe a peek at the Denver Post) before we rush out the door. I need to have protein in the morning, and eggs fit the bill. But [...]
I don’t know about you, but mornings are crazy at my house. My son, Nathan, wakes up a full hour before anyone else does. By the time he’s finished dressing and having a healthy breakfast, he’s bored and can’t wait for his sister to come down so he can annoy her. Lucie needs more rest and [...]
Even though it’s been cool and rainy here in Colorado, I’m reminded it’s spring every time I walk into the supermarket. Right out in front my grocer has set up a large produce table packed with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I’m lucky that we grow our own berries in our backyard – mostly raspberries and [...]
Today’s guest post from Holly Clegg deals with staying in for Mother’s Day. I couldn’t agree more! I’d be happy to stay home and cook. Well, as long as I didn’t have to clean up, that is! Mother’s Day brunch at home I hate going to a brunch on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are [...]
