- This muffin recipe is pretty fool proof. I've made them a million times and it's never turned out badly. It's also pretty flexible! You can omit the chocolate chips. You can add 1/2 cup of peanut butter. You can add ground flax seed instead of wheat germ. You can experi [...]

- With Thanksgiving, (my all time favorite holiday), just around the corner, it's time to pull out my turkey recipes and decide which to use this year.

- With the holidays almost upon us, it's time to get packing for your trip out of town. Over the years and miles I have traveled with everything from a just a small backpack to several suitcases with strollers, car seats and portable cribs in tow. Now that my kids are older, it's so much easier to tra [...]

- I had heard a lot about Iceland, but it wasn't on the very top of my travel list until I went looking for a way to get to Denmark. Icelandair offers a stopover program, so on your way to a European destination or over to the United States, you can stop for up to seven days in Reykjavik. And stop w [...]

There's a great restaurant in town that serves the most delicious cauliflower I've ever tasted. I think their secret is tempura frying the cauliflower and topping with a sweet and sour sauce, which I am sure has way more sugar than I would care to know I am ingesting. I wanted to rec [...]
