Chili-Veggie Pasta Skillet
What have I learned about toddlerhood thus far? Well, many things. I've learned that the maniacally cheerful toddler CD he demands to listen to in the car will get stuck in your head and you will sing it in random places and situations, whether you want to or not....
Why Your Diet Isn’t Working
Have you ever been frustrated because no matter how hard you try at something, there are obstacles that emerge seemingly out of nowhere that thwart your efforts? I'll share my example. My 22 month old very suddenly decided to go on an impromptu high chair strike last...
Panko Oven-Fried Cod
Hi! So...who has an eater of "particular tastes" in the family? *Raises hand. I don't want to use the word, "picky" because it seems kind of harsh, and I don't mean to "pick" on those who like what they like and avoid the stuff they don't. That seems fair. It even...
Fear Mongering and Motherhood
Hello all and Happy May. I'm finding it hard to believe the year is nearly half over. It is a busy month with a bunch of birthdays in this family, oh and of course, Mother's Day. Being a first-time mother has been one of the sweetest, hardest, most rewarding, most...
Sufferin’ Succotash!
Hello! So despite the crazy, indecisive weather we've been having, our garden is putting out. We did it right this year by getting our tomatoes planted a little on the early side before the brutal summer heat fries them up into dust. I guess that's the secret here in...

Seafood: Wild-Caught vs. Farm Raised?
Are you ever tired of making choices? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we have the freedom and the opportunity to make so many choices. The alternative would be horrible. But, when it comes to our food supply, there are so many, many things to consider and choose from. We...
Shrimp Creole
Hello! Man we've been croupy over here, how are ya'll holding up? The pollen recently dropped everywhere, then we had a conveniently timed cold front that stirred it all up. I was sick, now my poor little guy has a cold. Not the best way to start off this beautiful...
How Safe is Your Kitchen?
Hello! The bluebonnets are blooming, the garden is growing, and the itch to spring clean is here. I find it odd that I would ever have an "itch" to clean, but I do. It would be so satisfying to chill in a de-cluttered house, with maybe an inch or two of clean floors...
Beef & Barley Soup
Howdy! Who's ready for spring? To be honest, I'm going to kind of miss the cold weather. Don't get me wrong, I love frolicking in the bluebonnets and getting all those beautiful vegetables planted in the garden, but I also love cuddling up next to a fire and slurping...
