What’s Cookin

Since I’m so completely on my A game, I’m cooking up a storm and couldn’t wait to share one of the many recipes I’ve been working with. Insert sarcasm here. However, cooking and baking are a great stress reliever for me. So whenever I get a chance, which is extremely infrequent, I try to get my family a home cooked, […]

I decided to get all gourmet for my crew last week. Really the truth is that I’m sick of all our normal foods. There’s only so much chicken and ground turkey a girl can eat. So where do I go when I’m looking for recipes…no where else but Pinterest!!! Shrimp is a low fat protein that is perfect to insert […]

My kids, strangely enough, seem to love Chinese beef dishes. Beef with broccoli, Mongolian beef, Beef with […]

Much like my fellow Americans, we celebrated the Superbowl with what some would describe as a feast. And holidays of this nature always concern me since I have had my dairy-free princess. Every delicious appetizer under the sun has dairy in some of its ingredients. It’s a true struggle to find a crowd pleasing dairy-free appetizer menu. But I think […]

We have had an out pour of generous gestures, some of my favorites coming in meal form. And although I’m afraid that if I expose on my blog that I am actually cooking, people may stop bringing over food. I just had to share this one! I’m not so good at sitting still and just relaxing. So I have found […]

Despite Tuesday’s breakdown, I managed to have a successful day leading up to that point. Drew had no afternoon activities so we had a marathon of puzzles, games and practicing our letters. All while managing Noah, point for mom! We even had some mother/son bonding while preparing dinner. Um…preparing dinner? A feat that I thought a mother of a new […]

Almost every Chanukah party I’ve been invited to, I have been asked to bring a dessert. It works out well for me because that usually seems the hardest area to find “Gabby friendly” options. So by being designated the dessert lady, I can ensure she can eat it. The only caveat to this plan is that I no longer have […]
