Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
A few weeks ago, when my daughter was just taking her first steps, she tripped and fell hard on her face, biting her lip in the process. There was understandably a lot of crying and even a little blood. I was busy cooking dinner, and my husband scooped up our little one to love...
I’m digging deep, deep into all the research out there on picky eaters as I’m developing some new products for this site, and it’s led me to get out of my “comfort zone” and discover some new-to-me blogs on food and parenting! I’ve been topping up my Google Reader with some new stuff, and...
I just saw this Chef Boyardee commercial, and it really ticked me off. It made me really consider the practice that some parents feel they have to resort to of hiding veggies from their kids. Is it OK to hide vegetables in other foods to get your kids to eat them? It’s not...
This easy, fresh fruit salad recipe the PERFECT recipe to make for a barbeque or potluck, either as a side dish or a light dessert. It’s definitely barbeque season, and as much as I love those heavenly grilled meats, delicious potato salads, and yummy baked beans, I often find myself craving something a little...

Last Friday night I hosted a small dinner party for three of my closest foodie friends. The “theme” of this party was based on a series of culinary classes I had the great fortune to take for my June column for Yellow Scene. Here’s a photo of the table all laid out and ready...
Did a little better this week with the no-sugar plan. I’m actually still doing really well avoiding sugar at home. I had my dinner party on Friday, and it was a huge success! I’ll have recipes this week for what I served, including the flourless chocolate cake that was my planned cheat day. Unfortunately,...
Inspired by Barb at Creative Culinary and several other blogs I’ve been looking at, I thought I would start posting the occasional cocktail recipe, and what better time to do it than just before Friday happy hour? Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right? Today’s inspiration and recipe comes from BTown Wine & Spirits in...
When you get invited to a dinner called El Milagro del Cerdo (the Miracle of the Pig), how can you possibly refuse? I’d heard of Pica’s Mexican Taqueria in Boulder, but I’d never been there, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try them out on this special occasion: a family-style dinner...
