Memorial Day Weekend Roundup: Let The Fun Begin

carpool goddess

It’s been a busy week my friends. Summer has officially started in our home now that Mini-Me has finished her first year of college (Didn’t we just drop her off??) and my empty nest status is on hiatus until the end of August. Re-entry into “mommy-mode” didn’t take but a day or so for me […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies: Easy To Make & The Ultimate Comfort Food

10 things that smell good

Today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Though in my house Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is everyday of the year (which explains why everything is fitting so tight these days). Fresh from the oven. Try not to lick the screen. Chocolate Chip Cookies are my weakness. Not only do I bake them, I have to […]

How To Clean Up The Holiday Madness

I only write about products that I use and love. So, when Method reached out to me, I was delighted to be able to shout from the rooftop (or online equivalent) about how much I adore their products. For years I’ve been using their hand and dish washing soaps, which come in eye-catching colors, shapely […]

How To Keep Your Smart Phone & iPad Free Of Sticky Fingers

Sticky fingers aren’t always on small hands. If you’re anything like me and can’t seem to keep your hands off your Smart Phone and/or iPad while working in the kitchen, putting on makeup, getting crafty with glue or impatiently waiting for your mani to dry, but want to keep your high tech gadget clean, cover […]

Lite & Easy Egg Salad Recipe- I like egg salad and I’m not afraid to admit it. Neither should you.

I know some of you might cringe at the thought of egg salad, but to me it is divine. And what I love most about it is that it’s one more thing I can make easily in the kitchen. (Hey, I’ll take my successes where I can get them.) Recipe: Add three hard boiled eggs […]

Banana Bread: It Counts as a Serving of Fruit, Right?

We love bananas in our house and put them on everything. But I get really excited when my bananas start to turn – the blacker and mushier they get the sweeter they become – because then they’re perfect to make Banana Bread. And I’m pretty sure Banana Bread is a serving of fruit, right? So […]

Wordless Wednesday – Waffle? What Waffle?

No amount of fruit is going to hide the fact there’s a waffle under there. Can’t blame me for trying. Though, this is a huge improvement from when I was a kid, when I’d fill each fluffy hollow in the waffle with butter, then syrup – a perfect half/half mixture that when blended became a […]

Wordless Wednesday – It’s All In The Foam

My hubby and I like to go to a cute little cafe for breakfast on the weekends. They make my coffee look so pretty. Like this:               Last week my hubby’s coffee came like this…                 Clearly someone has a sense of […]

Tunacado: Tuna Salad With A Twist

Tunacado (I love how it rolls off the tongue)  is great for your skin, hair and midsection. It’s a healthier version of tuna salad because it’s blended with avocado instead of Mayonnaise. Tunacado has the same creamy texture you’d want with an awesome nutty avocado taste. I am addicted. College Boy likes it too  (which […]

Chocolate, Like Love, Is Never Wrong

Oh my friends, it’s been one of those days when only chocolate will make things right again. But I’m a bit of a diva, so not just any chocolate will do. Here are a few of my favorite dark chocolate bars. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t share? Eat them without […]

The Best Guacamole Recipe

If I could eat guacamole everyday, I would. In fact, I’ve been known to dream about it. Here is my absolutely most favorite guacamole recipe. It comes from a charming seaside restaurant in Punta Mita, Mexico, where they prepare it right at your table while you drool. For the best flavor and visual effects, use […]
