I met the Gourmet Garden Herbs and Spices team when I was at Food Blog South earlier this year. Now I’ve known about Gourmet Garden for years having seen the tubes in the herb section of the produce aisle at my grocery store. However – true confession time – I’d never used their product! So [...]

The main savory lunchbox item are sandwiches on whole wheat bread with a little mustard – turkey bologna for [...]

One of the biggest joys of becoming a mom was learning that my children make me laugh, especially my daughter, Lucie. Besides being artistic, cute and super smart, Lucie has a hidden talent – she’s a ham. She does a great Honey Boo Boo impersonation and can make her tummy roll like a belly dancer’s. [...]

Most folks know it’s important incorporate vegetables in our diets, but trying to get kids (and their picky parents) to eat them can be a chore! That’s why I’m a big advocate for cooking with tomato sauce and diced tomatoes from cans. First, Hunt’s tomatoes are full of antioxidants like lycopene. Second, they’re super convenient [...]

This post brought to you by Kraft Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. Weekday mornings are always crazy around my house. Our day starts at 6 am. I quickly brush my teeth, wash my face, throw on some workout clothes, and wake up my daughter, Lucie. By 6:30 am, I’ve packed the kids’ lunches and [...]

When I learned I had a food sensitivity to whey, I gave up milk and yogurt. This meant no more cereal, no more cookies and milk snacks, and no more smoothies. It also meant that foods like quiche, creamy soups, pancakes, and mashed potatoes were off limits since they also contain milk. Major bummer, right? [...]

It’s been a hectic time for me and my family since leaving Boulder, Colorado on May 25. The drive out to Georgia was a fun family adventure filled with tornado warnings (Kansas), barbecue (KC, St. Louis and Nashville), rockabilly music (Nashville) and even a little sipping whisky (a side trip to the Jack Daniels distillery.)
