Giving the kids something to talk about in therapy.
When I was a kid, I loved my mayonnaise. Loved it. I mean, I would actually lick the spoon when I was done adding a ton of it to my tuna. It's not so bad when you're an active kid (sort of), but when you are an adult with slow metabolism, licking the mayo spoon... Continue Reading →
The other night, Mr. W had a hankering for some chocolate cake. Chocolate cake and me do not get along. Or rather, chocolate cake loves me so much it wants to stay on my thighs forever despite how many lunges I put them through. So the idea of a whole chocolate cake in the house... Continue Reading →
I'm constantly looking for ways to make eating Paleo more interesting. Dairy and grains usually make up a huge part of a regular diet, and a diet that is void of them runs the risk of being bland. So I was more than excited to find a recipe for pancakes at the Civilized Caveman (a blog... Continue Reading →

My last Stuffing Recipe wasn't met with much enthusiasm from people watching calories. One commenter even wondered if that was what I was feeding my kids. Only on days that end with a Y, washed down with a glass of egg nog. Kidding! While I’d love to have Thanksgiving dinner every night, I’d have to... Continue Reading →
Stuffing is one of the easiest things to make for Thanksgiving, and one of the easiest to embellish. Thanks to my mom’s creativity in the kitchen, I have never made a stuffing exactly like the package recipe, but instead add to it to make it my own and create an even tastier dish for Thanksgiving....
