Strawberry Fool: Sweet Beat
This month we thought we’d share with you something a little different from our usual recipes, this one is even quicker to prepare, doesn’t need baking and is very low in fat. Sounds good doesn’t it!? This month’s recipe from BakingBar is Strawberry Fool. The ‘Fool’ in various guises of different fruits has been around in Britain [...]
Butterflies in My Stomach!!!
I hope those of you who celebrated the July 4 Independence Day holiday had a great one! There is still one more day to this fabulous long weekend. If many of you are like me, I love holidays! It’s a time to catch up with my children, reconnect with my husband, check-in with extended family [...]
Got (Drugstore Cow) Milk?
Got milk? While there is debate out there (i.e. T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study – good read if you haven’t yet) about cow’s milk and its benefits and dangers, a lot of us drink milk or at least give it to our children. But do you know where your milk comes from? If you [...]
Jumpified Me
We are blessed with two beautiful kids. We both work full time and like all parents try our best to be as involved with our kids’ educational development and values.

Most cultures have some sort of bread – flatbreads, buns, baguettes – and breaking bread is not an unfamiliar term. You eat together, you are no longer strangers. Indian breads are numerous and they also vary [...]
Pass (on) the Popcorn
There’s nothing like the smell of the buttery box of freshly-popped popcorn that you swear you won’t buy but then you do and proceed to eat half of it before the previews are over at the movie theatre. Every afternoon, someone in my office pops a bag of Orville Redenbacher’s and boy, it smells good. [...]
All Scream for Ice Cream
When it’s an average of 106F and the sun is full every day…all day…and the only respite is around midnight when the temperature drops to a balmy 95F, what else can you do but eat ice cream? I have not done any form of exercise in four weeks nor do I pretend. I sweat by [...]
Tomato + Sugar = Not Ketchup
I hadn’t realized how ‘strange’ (even disturbing) some of our meals were to folks until I started taking them to school for lunch. My experience taking lunch to school might not have been so traumatic if 1) my food hadn’t regularly infused the lunchroom with its…’aroma’ (primarily garlic, ginger and hot pepper) and 2) if [...]
