We are huge football fanatics in our house! While our Colts didn't do what we had hoped they would have, we still enjoy watching the games every Sunday. We are especially excited to host the Super Bowl this February. With all of the football hoopla happening around us, of course it made me think of food. Food and football just go hand in hand! Recently Tyson and Collective Bias invited … [Read more...]
Is it a fruit or is it a vegetable? While the controversy may continue (The US Supreme Court ruled that the tomato is a vegetable for culinary purposes) I know that this is one product that I couldn't live without. I love tomato juice, fresh tomatoes in my salads, chopped tomatoes in my tacos, and just about everywhere you can add it to a meal. Every year I try to grow tomatoes in pots that … [Read more...]
Bacon... is there a more delicious food out there? I don't think so! My brother-in-law loves bacon so much, that my sister bought him some chocolate covered bacon once. I think he has had some bacon ice cream, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has some bacon cologne! This week is National Oscar Mayer Bacon Week and to celebrate I am sharing with you one of my mother in-laws specialties, … [Read more...]
As many of you already know, our family is a bunch of readers. We love books! As a teacher I have loved scholastic books. This company makes it easy to get books in the hands of children for a fraction of the cost of a bookstore. The book clubs that are available to my students always include at least one $1 book selection. They also make it easier for a new teacher to build his/her … [Read more...]
Morning times can be very hectic in our household. Trying to get everyone together and ready to go out the door is time consuming. We make sure TJ has his breakfast and vitamin, and then we get ready for our days. Sometimes it is hard to remember that mommy and daddy need a nutritious breakfast as well. Lately, I have been grabbing an Activia Selects Parfait and eating it before school … [Read more...]
I have been blessed with a very kind, charismatic, lovable son. He was an "easy" baby and didn't cause many late nights for his parents. Somewhere around the time that he was ready to eat table food, something happened. My usually agreeable son was the pickiest eater I had ever met! I was shocked. He loved his baby food and would eat fruits veggies and meats without complaint. As soon … [Read more...]
Did you know that only 6% of the population meets the daily goal for vegetables? I know that I am probably one of those 94% other people, and I know for a fact that my son is! Michelle Obama has been a great advocate for children's health and healthy eating. I recently read an article about a lunch she had with a bunch of local kids on the White House lawn. She creatively sneaked vegetables … [Read more...]
Summer is a busy time for most families, so finding quality meals that are quick and easy are especially important. My life has become even busier with Fifi staying with us this summer. Morning time isn’t as easy as it used to be now that it revolves around a ten month old. But recently I discovered Aunt Jemima’s breakfast products in the frozen food section at my grocery store. They offer a … [Read more...]
One thing about the summer that I love is ice cream. Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? Visiting the stores this week, TJ and I saw a lot of delicious ice cream and Popsicle products that had us drooling. There are so many, that even the pickiest ice cream fan can find exactly what they are craving right in the grocery store. Here is what's new this summer from some of … [Read more...]
As most readers of my blog know, I have one of the world's pickiest eaters living in my house. He doesn't like to try new things and will only eat a handful of foods. I had dreams of my child eating organic vegetables that we grew together in our garden, what a joke! If I can get him to eat any kind of fruit or vegetable, I am a very happy mom! Kraft knows how hard it is to get your kids … [Read more...]
