We had kindergarten orientation for Logan today. He has been so ready for summer to be over and get back to school (he loved preschool and loves to learn). I have been ready for him to go back to school (summer has been particularly trying this year). We got up all excited and anticipating a …
I don’t know about the rest of the moms out there, but this past week has been incredibly hectic and emotional with school ending. Logan is a very sensitive guy. Even the slightest change from routine throws him off, and unfortunately school ending and summer beginning has been a HUGE change. Luckily, I have wonderful …

Some nights when time is rushed, almost anything pressed between two slices of bread can become a fabulous gourmet sandwich …

I am not normally a spaghetti kind of girl. I never understood why people would go out and order spaghetti when there were so many more exciting choices on the menu, especially when spaghetti is so easy to make at home. Spaghetti has always seemed like the fall back meal to me. The “where has …
Last week I mentioned having pasta with alfredo sauce for dinner with our spinach clementine salad. The recipe came from Cook’s Illustrated and was one of the best I’ve had. You know that alfredo sauce that is so rich and thick you can hardly eat it? This was not like that. It had flavor, but …
We have not had steak in quite some time, probably since late summer during the end of grilling season – and I am pretty sure it was a flank steak. Flipping through some old recipes I saw this Steak Pizzaiola recipe that I hadn’t made for a few years. I know this was a recipe …
