Snacks are important for kids.  Between-meal munchies provide an opportunity to squeeze in some needed nutrients and help kids focus.  Make these nutrients your target when choosing lunches and snacks

Pizza can become your artist’s palette with an endless world of topping options. There’s no reason to eat a plain old cheese and pepperoni pizza!

The word seaside alone, awakens a sense of relaxation and conjures up thoughts of excitement, pleasure and magnificent beauty.  This place on 30A, is no exception. With beaches all along the 18.5 miles of scenic 30A,  Seaside is one of my favorite spots.  The kids are thrilled to run free in the large open grassy… Continue reading Seaside

this is a low-calorie, low-fat meal.  I even think we will have room to add a reasonably-portioned dessert!

How To Make a Healthy Salad Taste Good

Posted in cooking, Eating out, healthy cooking, healthy meals, nutrition advice, registered dietitian, weight loss2 Comments

I have a pretty long list of dishes to take to social events.  I can pretty much pull a recipe from my butt (as my Mom might say growing up, but more eloquently written, repertoire) according to request.  We have a friend in town on a vacation from the Airforce.  She and her fiancé won a… Continue reading How To Make a Healthy Salad Taste Good

Farmer’s Market Finds

I love to support local farmers.  Often, you get organic produce picked only a few days ago and you don’t have to pay the price for the USDA organic certification.  We are very loyal to Elmer.  He sets up shop less than 1/2 a mile from our house.  He is a beekeeper as well as… Continue reading Farmer’s Market Finds

This quiche is outstanding!  I don’t even want to know how much fat is in this meal but, you can’t eat rabbit food every day, now can you?

Breakfast Parfaits

Breakfast is a hard meal for me.  Not everyone will eat cereal, you know, the easy breakfast.  One kid says the sweeter the better, hardly able to contain her excitement if anything I make contains chocolate, syrup, honey or any other form of sugar.  This kid will choke down canned asparagus (triple gross) if bribed… Continue reading Breakfast Parfaits

Steaks and Shambles

Here we were at dinner-making hour and all the kids claimed supreme boredom and couldn’t seem to entertain themselves.  I reluctantly suggested a fort. Out came all the blankets in the house, pillows and dining chairs.  Along with the craft project for Mimi’s birthday,  my house was left in shambles and the fun lasted a… Continue reading Steaks and Shambles

Pick Your Battles…

One of the nicest things anyone did for me after I had Andrew was make my family a meal.  It is so overwhelming to bring a tiny, helpless baby home from the hospital.  I felt like I couldn’t get anything done!  It’s especially difficult when you have other little mouths to feed!! My friend, Heather,… Continue reading Pick Your Battles…

A Day in Philly

A lesson on America’s history.  A view of the liberty bell and a tour of Independence Hall.  I guess the tour guide’s mustache muffled his voice because I didn’t hear a word! Coupled with the chasing around of the two youngest monsters trying to stuff liberty bell cards down the antique vents, it was impossible… Continue reading A Day in Philly
