We first learned of Once Again when Max went into a peanut-free preschool. We had to switch from peanut to sunflower butter and found this local (make in upstate New York!) company making pretty tasty spreads. When I say tasty, I mean,… Keep Reading
The holidays are always a great excuse for indulging a little more, and for us, it’s holiday cookies. Who doesn’t love a good sugar cookie? But sometimes, finding all the time to bake them can be difficult among holiday plays, shows and shopping (and Santa!). So there is no harm in skipping a step is there? Why bake when Little Bites has come out with Sugar Cookie muffins for the… Keep Reading

It took a while to really come to the conclusion that one needs such a high-powered blender as a Vitamix (and the latest model – E310 Explorian). Maybe it’s age or maybe it’s just the fact that I’m tired of having half-blended… Keep Reading
We’re really fat kids at heart just trying to survive in a healthy world. And while we may not eat them every day, we sure love a reason to celebrate – like National Donut Day. Donuts are our favorite indulgence because we can take them on the go. They don’t melt like ice cream and they don’t smush like a cupcake. We love to road trip with donuts – there’s just… Keep Reading
All I know is we grew up on the farm with pretty substantial moderation. We had fresh milk, eggs, fruit and veggies, but we also cooked with lard, Crisco and sugar. It was a healthy balance – yes we ate well, not because it was a fad, but because it was our lifestyle. But we also loved to dig into and create delicious treats. When you live in the middle of… Keep Reading
Dr Pepper Snapple Group® sponsored this post. All opinions are mine and mine alone. If you haven’t noticed, the current trend is to seek happiness. Individual happiness. But I think the secret is in our relationships. No matter how exhausted you feel after cooking and cleaning for 20 people in your home all day for Thanksgiving, or how horrible your last road trip with three moms and five kids was,… Keep Reading
The other day I was attending an event for Breast Cancer month with The Moms (one of the founders, Denise Albert is fighting the battle as we speak), and I ran into Shari Brooks. She started telling me about this amazing little campaign she started that’s gotten rather big, and I felt compelled to jump on the bandwagon. In honor of tragically losing her mother to breast cancer, she started the… Keep Reading
Boys will be boys. They love getting dirty, jumping off couches, laying around in their underwear and of course, eating – A LOT. So if they are going to be tossing back containers of ice cream, I’d prefer it to be something slightly better for them. As you know, we’re big fans of eliminating artificial ingredients and GMOs here, and they can sneak up on you in places you don’t… Keep Reading
I know all too well how much work holiday cookies can be. They always sound like a lot of fun, but then, UGH – you realize that you have to duplicate that one batch a few more times. And roll the dough. And cut. And not burn. Sometimes this can just be overwhelming for the novice baker who attempts it once a year. I’ve had a lot of people ask… Keep Reading
I miss the days of huge cooking parties in a big kitchen. Back in Pittsburgh, we used to all chip in and drink and have a blast making meals together. With little kitchens here in NYC, it’s not always the easiest, so even though I’ve cooked with friends, it’s been limited to about two or three friends. Sometimes I get to play in large kitchens again, like the weekend before… Keep Reading
