New Crispy Wings From Schwan’s – Perfect for Your Next Party

February 3, 2012

I enjoy hosting parties, but picking up or preparing the food is such a hassle. Toting two little kids through a store (or having them try to help me prepare multiple items) can be such a pain, when I’m also trying to clean up the house and get everything else for the get together. So, [...]

January 20, 2012

We all know that drinking water is essential to a healthy life.

Delicious, Gluten-Free Treats from Udi’s

December 30, 2011

While my kids aren’t on a gluten-free diet, we do have to be careful with food, as my daughter is allergic to tree nuts. I am very careful about what we eat, and while I like to make sure we aren’t eating nuts, I also want to ensure that we are eating healthy. I looked [...]

Winter Comfort Food: Pot Pies by Marie Callender

December 14, 2011

After an unseasonably warm late fall, we are finally getting freezing temperatures here in New England. When the temperatures plummet, my appetite for heartier food increases.

Dipping Veggies with Marzetti Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip

December 9, 2011

A few years ago, I started eating Greek yogurt rather than the standard yogurts, primarily because I wanted to get more protein in my diet. While Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier than other yogurts, with a stronger taste, it’s also actually tastes the way yogurt is supposed to taste. Now that I’ve gotten used [...]

Fish and other seafood has always been a big part of my diet. Growing up in Rhode Island, I had access to some of the freshest seafood available, some of which was caught by my dad. I grew up with it, so I never thought about it being something that wasn’t kid-friendly. Until I had [...]

Encouraging My Kids to Eat Healthy Foods

September 29, 2011

Before I was a mom, I thought it would be so easy to get my kids to eat healthy foods. All I’d need to do is just introduce only healthy foods, and then they would eat them. Easy, right? Now that I am a mom, I’m horrified to say that my kids think the four [...]

Hot Apple Cider K-Cups from Green Mountain Naturals

September 26, 2011

I’m not a big fan of fall, only because it reminds me that winter is just around the corner. And, I hate winter with a passion. But one thing I do love about the fall is apples – apple picking, apple cider, apple cider donuts, and apple pie. Yum. Green Mountain Naturals has introduced their [...]
