The week has been like many others of the past year: somehow so busy yet so boring at the same time. We got a glimmer of hope in the news hearing that Disneyland and baseball stadiums would be allowed to open in April, as long as the numbers stay low. While they’d only be allowed…
With all my new shopping habits when it comes to clothing, I admit I haven’t completely grasped the fair trade movement 100%. I mean, what about my iPhone? There aren’t many options there. What about eating only locally grown, organic foods? I try when I can. And what about Stevie’s clothes? Sure, he has a few american-made…
It’s time for your weekly installment of this mom is a dummy! Are you ready?! So yesterday was cold. Real cold. And windy. Warm comfort food was a high priority for dinner. I decided tomato soup was the ticket, and quickly found a vegan recipe online. Again, this was an easy recipe. Nothing complicated about it.…
I don’t know why, even when I want to cook a simple dinner, if it doesn’t involve a microwave, it always has to be a story. Or maybe it’s just me who thinks my life is hilarious. No comments from the peanut gallery plz. So we have a kitchen in our new house – not…
There’s a reason I don’t have many In The Kitch posts. And you may think it’s because I just don’t like cooking. Which is true. But it’s also because it is farkin’ impossible with Stevie. Even this simple dish took farkin’ forever and all it required was some chopping. But 45 minutes of chopping and…
This dressing makes the salad. So yummy – sweet, tart, bacon – and easy as pie. Probably much easier than pie actually. I’ve never even tried making pie. Maybe someday. Probably not. Never mind the fact that as I blog about this yummy salad, I am, in fact, eating a plain turkey sandwich on a paper…
I can’t take any credit for this. My husband makes the most killer french toast. The key ingredient is the bread. He buys his Challah Bread from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on the west side of town, and it is so delicious. I’ve heard there is better (and cheaper) out there, but so far…
I have an announcement. I made something that actually resembled food. And it was good! I present to you Sauteed Lemon Tilapia: I found the recipe here but I did modify it just a tiny bit because I couldn’t find peppercorns. Not the ones they used anyway. So I used delicious capers in my butter sauce…
I’ve had an intense craving for cookies the last couple days. So today, since I have all this extra time from not shopping, I decided cookies had to be made! I did a quick glance in my cupboards for ingredients and realized I didn’t have eggs. Dang, a pretty basic ingredient for cookies. Normally I’d…
Dinner was supposed to look like this: But ended up looking more like this: NAILED IT! Psh. So listen, my New Year’s goals are always pretty much the same. 1) Be more mindful of how money is being spent 2) Cook at home more 3) Live a more active lifestyle I wouldn’t say I live…
