Sometime late Spring 2009 (I’m trying to catch up with my old unpublished posts) :), we signed Alex up for a kids’ cooking class at a culinary school nearby. He didn’t enjoy the class as much as we had hoped because there wasn’t too much prep work for the kids to do, which is what […]

Lactose Intolerance?
These past four months have been quite a challenge for me, eating-wise. After a couple of months of stomach discomfort, paired with bouts of diarrhea every two or three days, my doctor is finally convinced that I’m lactose intolerant. I’m still not entirely convinced myself although sure enough, those dreaded diarrhea and stomach cramps stopped […]
Penitentiary Glen Reservation
We went hiking at Penitentiary Glen Reservation yesterday after three straight days of heavy snow. The forest and field had been transformed into a winter wonderland – they were simply stunning!
Whole Wheat Pizza
Ahhh…looking at these pictures bring back extremely fond and delicious memories. We welcomed the New Year with homemade pizza. I have to admit that it is time-consuming and tiring to make your own pizza as compared to just having them delivered (ready-to-eat) but it is soooo… FUN! Don’t believe me?

It took Keith a few months to find new opportunities after […]
Thanksgiving with Family
This year, we packed up the kiddo and the doggies and drove out to my in-laws to spend Thanksgiving with them. The drive itself felt sooooo… long (I’m getting old) :) but we had a wonderful time with family. Below are a few pictures of our trip. Enjoy!
Sour Cream Pound Cake
Don’t you just love it when the first thing you choose to make from a new cookbook comes out perfectly? I had never seen or heard anything about the book – All Cakes Consideredby Melissa Gray until it caught my eye as I walked passed it in the library. Flipping through it while considering whether […]
Cranberry Bread
I’m always on a lookout for kid-friendly recipes for Alex and when I saw this one in the latest Taste of Home magazine (October & November 2009 issue), I just knew Alex would have lots of fun making it. The recipe – Kelsey’s Favorite Cranberry Bread may be short and simple but contains enough action […]
