I know this opinion is not shared by all, but I really love feeding a baby. I enjoyed making my own baby food for my kids, but even more so I love introducing them to ‘real’ solid foods. My husband, on the other hand, hates it. He’s terrified! He is watching like a hawk at …

I don’t claim to have many signature meals, but this one, is one of them! This Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Breasts is a homerun meal! Artichoke stuffed chicken breast sounds a little labor intensive, but I promise, it’s not. It’s one of those meals that you can whip up in the morning while breakfast is cooking, …

Cooking family meals anytime during the year isn’t easy, but when it comes to summertime and the kids are home, it becomes a little more difficult. After running with the kids all day long and feeling like a constant short-order cook when they are hungry on a whim, my brain is fried on things to …

August 10th is a very special day. Do you know what it is? It’s National S’mores Day! I love food holidays because there are so many options for celebrating. For example, you can go traditional with a basic graham cracker/marshmallow/milk chocolate combo, or you can get…creative. Let’s go! How about some s’mores cupcakes? These look …

I’m a pretty frequent coffee drinker, but when I want to change it up, I always turn to chai tea. In the world of chai there are hundreds of choices. I’ve sampled my fair share and have fallen in love with David Rio Chai Mix. There are quite a few flavors in this particular line, …

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 …

I’m not a wedding expert by any means, but I do know a good idea when I see one. And when I go to a wedding and there is such a fantastic idea that it could even be used for a baby shower, I have to share it. Last weekend, I went to my cousin’s …

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 …

Simple, delicious lunches are no doubt God’s gift to busy moms. Once the littles are served up (and most assuredly, ready for seconds), it’s time for mom to whip up some nourishment for herself. My usual go to is some sort of leftover from a previous meal, but on the days where I start fresh …

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 …
