Are you a meal planner? Is your grocery list organized by store aisle? Do you even make a grocery list? Do you already know what you are going to have for dinner this Thursday night? I have dreams in which breakfast, lunch and dinner are all planned for 7 days at a time. In which [...]

Lasagna: Two Ways

For years I’ve been saying that I was supposed to be Italian. And I really, really mean it. I was totally born on the wrong continent. That’s one of the villages in Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera. I wish I lived there. And here’s another village in that same region: Of course there’s always [...]
Sick Days

The boys are sick and have been for a few days. Just colds, but annoying in so many ways. I don’t feel good about taking them anywhere – and contaminating any other children – so it means I can’t go to the gym or keep my playdates or send the four-year-old to his summer program [...]

Do you ever grab those little breakfast muffins in the bakery at your grocery store? Are you ever jolted by how super-sweet they are? I like the idea of muffins for breakfast, but I don’t like them to be too sweet. And no, I’m not a fan of those all-bran-sawdust muffins, either. Disclosure: I’m a [...]
Even More Food to Share

We had Hamburger Helper on occasion when I was growing up. I don’t remember anything specific about it, really, just that it was there sometimes. And I think homemade versions of the Hamburger Helper concept are great food-to-share recipes. (I say “homemade” because the sodium content of the boxed version should send you into orbit. [...]

Another meal I made to take to my grandmother…easy to double, easy to freeze, easy to make, easy to share. Really, you should have this in your repertoire. This is so quick to make, I didn’t even have time to take any proper photos. Somehow I managed to click some shots as I was packaging [...]
Food to Share

I realized today I haven’t really posted any recipes in awhile – even though I’ve been cooking a lot. It hasn’t just been crackers and baby food around here lately! I guess I haven’t given them much thought because I’m doing a lot of simple, easy-to-share recipes…most of which are also easy-to-freeze. My grandmother has [...]
