Thinking Outside the Basket
Holidays are tough when your kids are allergic or sensitive to food. We try to make things less about the candy for holidays like this and more about a special home-cooked meal and non-food treats, like going out of town for a night or two, or toys and activities. We’re trying more and more to … Read more
Lock Them Up?
I’m no stranger to restraining aggressive children, unfortunately. When I was 19 and worked in a daycare, I learned the holds to keep kids from banging their heads into mine when they were spinning out of control in a tantrum or “episode” as they called them. This was before many kids were labeled with so … Read more
Recent Eats
After a winter that was seriously lacking in snow, we’re getting plenty of the white stuff right now! Goose is a little crabby that her Tae Kwon Do is cancelled for the second week in a row (she’s been waiting to test for her yellow belt!), but she’s under the weather, so it’s probably for … Read more

Breakfast Panna Cotta (and News)
I just tried a dessert of panna cotta a few weeks ago for the first time, and absolutely fell in love. I knew I had to recreate it, because, with fruit, it would be great in our summer breakfast rotation. I’m impatient, though, and went ahead with experimenting in the dead of winter. It’s also … Read more
Party Mix
I remember my great aunt making bags of this stuff with cereal when I was little, and I could never get enough. No party happening at my house (just ask my family- I’ve been making them clean for the past week!), but still a yummy snack. I’m tired tonight, after much running around for doctors’ … Read more
Thursday Tip: Free Herbs
Did you know that you can propagate herbs from cuttings? It’s true! Have a friend with a yard full of lavender? Buy a too-big package of fresh basil at the grocery store? Here’s how to grow those herbs on your windowsill, so you can save money buying the little over-priced plastic packages in the future. … Read more
Kale-stuffed Mushrooms
Goose loved these, and they were fun to make, since most of the ingredients were local and seasonal! Large Portabella mushrooms (remove and dice stems) Kale Pine-nuts Grated cheese (I used sharp cheddar) Bacon Cream Butter Garlic Remove the stems from the mushrooms and dice. Lightly saute the mushroom caps in butter on each side, … Read more
Relish
This is a really simple recipe I threw together with miscellany from my fridge, in order to have something “fresh” on our plates. It’s also good to use up a few odd fresh veggies that you have hanging around, and works any time of year, if you are trying to eat seasonally. Relish: makes about … Read more
