Stress-Free Thanksgiving: Buttery Garlic Asiago Crescents
When I arrived at my children’s school yesterday for a parent-teacher conference, the teacher’s aide from my daughter’s class was waiting in the hallway to give the teacher something. She’s a kind woman, closer to my mother’s age than my own, who bears a striking resemblance to my friend Elayne who passed last year. I [...]
Garlicky Shrimp, Spinach and Asiago Pizza
Thanksgiving is now less than a week away. But we’re going to take a tiny break from all the Stress-Free Thanksgiving discussion to talk about something equally important: Friday night fun. Just about every Friday, the kids and I dash off to the library for books and movies after school. And when we return, we [...]
Love Fries and Onion Rings? Enter the Alexia Giveaway!
Tomorrow, I will have a tasty new barley salad recipe to share. But today? Today’s about a little something fun. Remember that Loaded Guacamole Onion Ring Burger from last week? It was topped with tomatoes, guacamole, cheese and those amazing Multi-Grain Onion Rings from Alexia. So good with all the flavors and textures. Now, I [...]
Wrap-Up: Listerine’s Oral Care Challenge #SweetSmart
Back in the beginning of October, I told you about Listerine’s Oral Care Challenge, which challenges us to brush, floss and rinse twice a day. My kids and I took the challenge and embarked on a three week journey. Then we entered week four — the week after the challenge ended — and we didn’t [...]

Soccer, Brandi Chastain and a Libby’s Giveaway
Over the weekend, Will and I had the opportunity to meet soccer star Brandi Chastain, who won two Women’s World Cup championships, two Olympic gold medals and an Olympic silver medal playing soccer. She’s best remembered for that emotional moment in 1999 on the field when her team won the Women’s World Cup at [...]
Cheesy Smothered Breaded Chicken with Buttermilk Biscuits
You know what? This chicken is seriously good. Every bite is a creamy, crispy, earthy, rich delight. I mean, this is the kind of dish that renders the dinner table silent as you all dig in and enjoy. It’s just that delicious. It’s pretty easy to make too. You cook the chicken on a rack, [...]
Staying Active in the Fall, and Together Counts
You know what I love about fall? It’s a mix of so many great things — warm sunlight, crisp temperatures and breezes, sweet apples and carving big pumpkins, to name a few. And it has Halloween — one of my very favorite days of the year. Yes, it’s a pretty awesome time. And although we [...]
Raising Healthy Kids and Thoughts on Libby’s Single Fruit Cups
We’re into the swing of things now. School started in late August, and we’ve acclimated to the waking up thing. We’ve also found a new flow with the new (later) bus pick up times. Well, mostly. Packing lunches? Got it! I have a flow to things. Will gets a main item — a sandwich or [...]
