Working Mom’s Weekly Menu 1
Posted in food on October 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I read a lot of food blogs, which all have wonderful recipes and ideas. Several of them also have weekly menu plans. Try as I might, I see these menus more as inspiration rather than reality at this time in my life. So, I thought it would be fun to start posting our family’s weekly [...]
If I Won the Lottery…

If I won the lottery, I would hire a chef. Without a doubt, this personal service splurge would come before a housekeeper, a landscaper, or an interior designer. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have delicious, healthy meals cooked every night for you?
Perfect Job

Ok, maybe perfect is too strong of a word, but a job that I think I would like and be really good at would be a recipe tester, especially if it was gluten-free baking recipes. Is there such a thing? Does it pay? Say, for example, you were writing a cookbook and wanted to test [...]

Yesterday LM and I made lasagna–homemade noodles and all. The plan was to save half of it for a freezer meal, but it is almost already gone. So much for that.

I was recently at a luncheon where we got started talking about how I began eating gluten free, so I thought it would be fun to write it out on the blog. In 2002, I had been going to a chiropractor for awhile to eliminate back pain and some terrible headaches. After many treatments, the [...]

So far today I have: wiped down door handles and door frames cleaned the glass in the patio door made bread with LM organized the spices cooked a new recipe added additional [...]
Weight Gain

I gained exactly thirty pounds with my first pregnancy. With the second pregnancy, I gained 34. I lost 17 pounds right away and the next ten within a couple of weeks of L’s birth. If my math is right, that leaves 7. Seven very pesky, difficult-to-lose pounds. I have eighteen days left until I go [...]
Gluten Free Summit

How absolutely wonderful does this Gluten Free Summit at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY look!!! I’ve always wanted to go to a cooking class but never have because I know I cannot eat much of what is usually cooked. Maybe next year when I am not attached to an infant….
