Lasagne is a staple at my house…not a Christmas goes by with out at least two huge pans of lasagne at the center of the spread. I remember growing up and having my Nonna’s lasagne at pretty much every family birthday party. Her, my mom and my aunt used to pick tomatoes every summer and […]

Ok, so I have never seen one episode of “The Walking Dead”. However, I am almost certain that if by some chance I would have happened upon the casting directors for that show this week, I would have been snatched up in a hot second to play their newest zombie. No makeup needed…no voice lessons

No, serious face. This is by far the easiest and  yummiest dessert ever. Do you have 2 minutes of hands on time and about 45 minutes to sip some  coffee (whatever)..while something bakes?

The atmosphere, the blooming onions,

I find myself in a conundrum sometimes as a parent. You order pizza for movie and game night, and the leftovers make it to the fridge. The next morning I feel it is probably my parental duty to tell the kids no, they can’t have cold pizza for breakfast….all the while knowing how awesome cold

Sometimes, I eat like a 10 year old. Sure there are nights I drool over the idea of sophisticated cuisine….and then are those nights I want to shove chicken strips, Mac and cheese, or pizza rolls into my face. Those nights…make my kiddos extremely happy. Oh, and Shaun T and/or Tony Horton since I usually

Call it a flashback, call it reliving childhood days, but last week I dealt with an INSANE craving for the cool and creamy goodness that was this fruit salad my mom made when I was a kid. It was one of those “old faithfuls” for her; it was quick, inexpensive, and everyone loved it. I
