To call our dining room a “dining room” isn’t entirely accurate. In fact, it’s a bold-faced lie. Truth is, I can’t remember the last time we actually dined in there (that distinction goes to our living room). Rather than being used for its intended purpose, our dining table has become a place to collect unopened […]
Meals shipped right to your door? A girl could get used to that!
February 26, 2013 22 Comments
As any busy mom will tell you, planning a weekly menu that’s A) varied, B) simple and C) relatively healthy is – for lack of a better word – a pain in the ass. If only there were a way to have pre-measured, fresh dinner ingredients shipped to my house with handy little recipe cards […]
Chicken Pizzaiola Recipe #CookClassico
February 18, 2013 23 Comments
Like I said before, I am a quasi-clean eater and a stickler for healthy ingredients. This Valentine’s Day was no different. Challenged to come up with a delicious Valentine’s Day dinner – one that would please everyone and yet wouldn’t have me slaving in the kitchen for hours – this Chicken Pizzaiola recipe was the […]
Seductive Tables For Two: Our Romantic Hawaiian Dinner
January 31, 2013 27 Comments
As any couple with a two-year-old will tell you, it’s not always easy to find time for a romantic evening together. (Our current idea of “romance” is sharing a beer while watching American Idol.) I decided to get us out of that romantic rut by planning a special meal at home that would be eaten […]
Homemade Mac & Cheese with Silk Soy Milk #ReThinkWhatYouDrink
January 27, 2013 48 Comments
Before I had my daughter, my meals for the most part consisted of the fastest of fast food joints and the best takeout. After all, I was a busy college girl and then later a busy career woman. Now that I have a daughter, I’m still incredibly busy, but want to provide healthy meals for […]
Be My Valentine: Brighten Up Your Valentine’s Day with Kleenex #ShareTheSoft
January 21, 2013 38 Comments
There are certain things that are a part of just about every holiday. Family, of course, is one of them, but I’m talking about the little things that you might not always notice. For me, one of those things is Kleenex tissues. Yeah, that’s right, I said Kleenex tissues. For instance, when my hubby and […]
How Do You Grab a Few Solitaire-Y Moments Each Day?
January 14, 2013 22 Comments
I really don’t know how moms kept their sanity before smart phones were invented (answer: soap operas and cheap wine). While sitting next my two-year-old’s bed while waiting for her to drift off to sleep – I’m on my smart phone. While sitting on the floor waiting for her to use her potty – I’m […]
Mom Hazard #672: Cold Coffee (International Delight Iced Coffee Saves the Day!)
December 28, 2012 23 Comments
I can’t remember the last time I had a hot cup of coffee. Oh sure, I pour myself a hot cup every morning, but as the mother of a two-year-old (one who acts like she has a java addiction of her own) and a busy blogger, by the time I take my second sip, the […]
A Holiday Party with Flatout Thin Crust Artisan Pizza Flatbreads
December 19, 2012 22 Comments
When you think of the holidays, what food comes to mind? Cookies? Wine? Mom’s Christmas ham? Wine? All four are acceptable answers, but how ‘bout pizza? Probably not, but I think about pizza at least three times a day so, for me, pizza pairs well with just about any holiday. I recently suggested a Christmas-themed […]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mrs. Smith’s. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you ever made a homemade apple pie? I have. Like skinny dipping, Brazilian waxes, and the Twilight movies, it’s one of things you have to try at least once, just to see what all the hubbub […]
