Healthy Kids Snack: Hearty Party Fruit Kebabs
In my preschool classes this week, love is in the air! Tis the season of heart decorations, passing out Valentine’s cards, candy and a general feeling of excitement from all of the kids, as we celebrated Valentine’s Day this week during our class party. This year, I decided that I wanted to take a break […]
Shrimp Fried Rice
One thing I love about Thai restaurants is that pretty much anything you order can be an entree. Want rice? Great – it comes with your choice of meat, and can serve as your main dish. Lo mein? Get it with chicken! We’ve all got busy schedules, so one-pot dishes are where it’s at. My […]
Football-Themed Containers
With the big game coming up, many of us are planning a gathering to cheer, socialize and eat with friends and family. If you want to have a party that gets everyone talking, you need to up your game. Instead of just having bowls of chips and wings out on the table, get festive and […]
Killing Boredom with Bold New Flavors from Emerald Nuts
“What do we have to eat, Mom?” and “I’m boooored!” We’ve all heard it, right? Nearly every single day in my house! My kids come home from school and they are hungry, and they want to be wowed. They don’t want they same ol’, same ol’. I guess I have sent them to the refrigerator […]

Leftover Turkey Carcass Soup
When you’re done carving your turkey and enjoyed a sumptuous meal, do you often wonder what to do with your leftover turkey frame, or “carcass” as we like to call it at our house? I just know there’s lots of meat tucked in those hidden nooks and crannies. Well, years ago I did some research […]
Turn Your Kids from Hangry to Happy with a Tree Top Sweepstakes
I swear two out of four of my kids must be going through a major growth spurt, because they are always hungry! “When do we eat?” says the little boy from Dick Tracy. People must think I starve these kids, but I promise it isn’t so. I am partnering with Tree Top to introduce an […]
Zap the Cold with Zicam®
You all know that feeling – at our house we call it Porcupine Nose. It’s that sudden awareness that a cold is about to rear its ugly head. You get either that little tickle in the back of your throat, or that burning at the back of the nose, or maybe just a few sneezes. […]
