Why homemade? Because you know what’s in the recipe, there are generally no weird words included – and in many instances it’s much cheaper. This doesn’t mean I don’t have a bag of frozen popcorn chicken on hand. My goal is to balance a mostly homemade life with those days when you don’t have time to do anything but preheat the oven. I generally try to put a homemade meal on the table 80% of the time. Busy kids and a busy life mean the family dinner table is becoming extinct. I think it’s way to important to a healthy life – so we eat together every night. I’m flexible on time, but i’m not flexible on participation, if you’re home, you’re at the table.

I love these because they start with a box […]
I love the foaming hand soap and refill. I’m not sure why – but foam makes me feel cleaner, and I feel like we use a lot less SOAP this way. What I don’t like are the ugly bottles. If you use regular liquid soap, you can buy pretty containers that go with your bathroom […]
I’m not going to lie – I have a pretty tragic love/hate relationship with this recipe. Tonight I finally made a version that was pretty good. I love the creaminess of this one and the bread crumbs on top add a little bit of texture and tastiness that makes a big difference. I use White […]
I love asian food. I love potstickers. I hate buying frozen potstickers because they taste like freezer. Ick. I finally decided to get brave and try to make my own. With the pre-made and pre-cut wonton wrappers, this was a really, an easy, if a bit fussy, task. We’ve talked before – I’m not a […]
