Are you ready for another one of my earth-shattering public statements? I find it completely unacceptable that lightly hitting your elbow against your pretty kitchen aid mixer should hurt THAT much. Ouch! And result in a bruise. Who in their right mind would call it a funny bone? Luckily, I had ‘Boo-Boo Ellie’ to help…
We each have our story of September 11th, 2011 and today, I share my story of 9/11: I was on my way into work and was listening to a NYC based radio station when the first plane hit. The radio personalities were discussing how a small plane could hit one of the Trade Center Towers. I am sure we were all thinking…
This past Tuesday, I headed to Trader Joe’s and did my best to resist their pouch of premixed brownies but they somehow ended up in cart. I justified it by remembering we had some friends coming over to celebrate the start of Kindergarten. Upon checkout, the employee said ‘I love to melt the mini peanut…

Naturally, being a mom means the Spaghetti Sandwich was one of the sandwiches that jumped right out at me. Why make…
September is one of my favorite months for a few reasons: I can still take my ‘babies’ to the beach after school as it is warm enough, the mornings have a crispness that puts a bounce in your step, the trees are preparing to lose their leaves and it is Whole Grain Month. Yes, Whole…
Aw shucks, you weren’t able to join us for the Healthy Lunch and & Chocolate Milk chat? No worries as I am going to share some of the highlights with you right now AND you can read the entire conversation at The Motherhood. The talk included moms who wanted to discuss school lunch nutrition and the ongoing…
I like genuine folk. I like authentic folk who just want to be and share and spend quality time.

First was meeting with Winnie from Healthy Green Kitchen and…
