As a mom of 3 very hungry children, I often cook dinner almost every day of the week. It's more economical, I know exactly what I putting into every dish I make and the kids love a home-cooked meal, especially my husband. But for me, time away from the kitchen is a blessing in disguise. I don't have to worry about what to make, what time I should start dinner and the mess that is made after everything is done. I love to cook but the one thing I do not like is cleaning the kitchen after … [Read more...]

Watching shows on Food Network has been an obsession for me since my husband and I got DirectTV when we first moved into our house. I had no idea there was a channel dedicated to food (no, I wasn't living under a rock but it sure felt like it...lol). I remember watching Emeril Live and Rachael Ray (they were my fave shows back then) cooking up some delicious meals, I would get so relaxed but also wishing that I was there tasting all the yummy foods too. My obsession is still with the Food … [Read more...]

And we’re not talking about just lettuce here people; he was going … [Read more...]

Nearly 17 million children in America and almost one in four struggle with hunger. With the way this economy has been, more and more families are having a hard time putting healthy food on the table every day. Thankfully, I didn't grow up hungry. My dad had a great job with great benefits and we were never without food. It's sad to know that many children in our country go to bed hungry and don't know where their next meal will come from. The Bread Art Project was created by The Grain … [Read more...]

Last week I was invited to an event that was sponsored by Ragu® pasta sauce for their "Feed Your Kids Well - Recipe For A Good Start" campaign. It was a private event that I was excited to be a part of because my family and I love Ragu® pasta sauce. We use it for a lot of our meals and for each half cup of sauce is a whole serving of vegetables, which is perfect for two picky kids in our household. Upon arriving, I couldn't help but notice the smells that permeated the air. My daughter … [Read more...]
