I love finding new recipes. Unfortunately, it seems like the ones that look good always require just a bit of an ingredient that is only available to purchase in a much larger quantity than I need, and which I don’t have any other use for. And while my family may have really enjoyed the cheesy …

As a family, dinner is a very special time in our house because it’s always the one time, that no matter how busy we are or how many after school activities we have, we always come together. It’s a time for finding out how the kids’ day went, what is on the schedule for the …

Hello, fellow pizza lovers! Today I’m hear to tell you all about our dinner of choice lately – you guessed it, pizza. I’ve got a picky toddler. Lately, I haven’t had the energy to really battle meal times with him, and I know I can always get pizza in him for dinner. A few years …

One thing that D.C. does really well is Fourth of July fireworks. (Duh.) We have great displays in the surrounding area, but the show to go to is the one on the National Mall. No matter where you watch from—what amazing little-known viewing spot you have—you’ve gotta get there early and claim your spot. Bonus: …

Does anything scream “SUMMER!” more than kabobs?  Ya know, meat on a stick? I am on a total kabob recipe kick so far this season. They’re so easy and quick to put together, they look impressive, and they don’t require me heating up my house by turning the stove / oven on. My biggest tip …

Anyone who really knows me, knows that I can whip up a mean batch of cookies. Possibly some of the best you’ve ever had. I’m a fantastic baker. But when it comes to cooking actual meals, I’m just kind of blah. It’s not that my skills aren’t good, it’s just that I have no creativity …
