Little Guy and I just had to do something fun for Halloween this morning. We just HAD to. It’s HALLOWEEN! Only our favorite holiday ever. Well, my favorite. Little Guy says it’s tied with Christmas and Easter for him. He evaluates holidays based on the number of presents and/or candy he gets. I evaluate them on fun factor alone and by far Halloween takes the cake–horror movies, costumes, zombies, and of course… Read the rest of this post
Unfortunately, I only had 4oz of leftover ground turkey when I made this experiment. It came out better than I ever expected and it would have even been better if I could have made it with more ground turkey.
The pear/ginger combination was awesome with the turkey. It was a fun spin and I will make it again once I get my hands on more meat. The only thing I’ll do differently next time is double everything and add an egg. Even though the burgers stayed together I think they needed a bit more glue. Read the rest of this post
Take a plain old slice of bread and turn it into the perfect teething biscuit!
This idea is nothing short of genius!
It’s perfect for small hands. It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s cheap. You many never buy a box of teething biscuits again! Check it out…

I made this TWO weeks ago and totally forgot to post it. Ok, that’s a lie. I had to psych myself up to actually sit down and get it all out of my head. I knew it was going to be a long one!
This was a total winner of a dish. We ate it 2 nights in a row and I had it for lunch twice. Now that’s getting your money’s worth out of a crock pot meal!
Confession: I’m not the biggest avocado fan. I simply don’t understand people that go gaga over guacamole? It’s green and weird and a weird green.
However, I must admit, after picking some up for Little Bean I’ve been giving them another chance. Especially now that I’m keeping some in stock for him…. Read the rest of this post
Recently we’ve introduced yogurt and mixed it with some homemade puree. He likes it. Although you really can’t tell from the photos. Can you say “MOOOODY”…. Read the rest of this post
We were in such a rush yesterday morning I TOTALLY forgot to take a picture of his lunch box. It didn’t dawn on me until I went to post and all I had on the camera was the “after” photo.
Anyway, this is what he went to school with…
Don’t make that face. I know, I know, lentils aren’t everyone’s favorite, BUT they are SO good for you!
Protein, Fiber, Iron, Potassium … do I need to keep going? Just check out their profile on World Healthiest Foods.
They are also super cheap and last forever in the pantry: a fabulous combo for this stock-happy mom.
Seriously, why aren’t I eating these things more? I’m hopping on the lentil bandwagon and taking baby with me… Read the rest of this post
My dishwasher broke… AGAIN! Ugh. It’s a mess. I’ve had a guy out 6 times this year for a 2 year old appliance. Utterly ridiculous!
When you have no dishwasher you tend not to want to use a lot of dishes. Especially pots and pans. THAT was the motivation for last night’s dinner.
Is it be possible to roast a complete, light meal in one pan while making the entire family happy? Read the rest of this post
