5.5.10

I had big plans. I was going to make fish tacos, beef empanadas, my signature guacamole and sangria. But then life happened. And so the kids ended up eating leftover spaghetti (much to their delight), hubby ate a meatsauce sub, and I munched on chicken nachos (made with leftover rotisserie ...

Join the Food Revolution

4.20.10

Now that Chatterbox is in Kindergarten, I know firsthand what parents have been complaining about when it comes to school lunches.

It's funny how no matter what plans you may think you have, life has a mind of its own and takes you in whatever direction it chooses. As one of my new year's resolutions for 2009 I vowed to explore my love for writing and I started this blog as ...
