Food, Family, and Lifestyle
The female tween and I went away to a Mom & Me Crop in Massachusetts. We were quite productive even there was pool time, silly time, cranky time, and eating time to fit into the weekend as well. I wanted to share some of our creativity. There was Christmas to scrap…. with family & friends There was…
Tweens are an odd bunch aren’t they? Stuck between a youngster wanting to cuddle with mama, and a raging ball of teenage angst, that thinks your e.v.e.r.y. move is embarrassing and unnecessary? They also talk funny. Speaking of funny, cruciferous is a funny word. I picked up a bag of cruciferous salad at Trader Joes’…
Zesty is a good word. Black bean is a fibrous word. Quinoa is protein-acious word. Avocado is a fruity word. Power is a strong word. Bowl is a vessel word. Combined together, they are a damn delicious series of words. Eat my words.
The image below sums things up in my closet. Even if the pants were fitting properly, we need to reassess the levels of sugars, salts, meats, etc., that we consume. This time of year is the perfect time to start afresh, and with that in mind, I have been a busy bee today: I have made a turmeric…

This weekend we have family coming to celebrate New Year’s with us. My cousin and I are going to tackle the Instant Pot. We plan to first experiment with making soup. Why soup? I want to give them something comforting and warm after their travels. I have been looking around Pinterest and am thinking of trying one…
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays! Surprisingly (not), I received a kitchen device/cooking item as a Christmas gift. I was gifted an Instant Pot! You know, the pressure cooker, crockpot, sauté pan, steamer, rice cooker, yogurt maker? I feel like the rest of America already has, and raves about this cooking miracle. I have read the user’s manual…
I am in love with every. single. morsel I ate at Ella’s Fine Food & Drink, located in Westerly, RI. I have driven by the restaurant a million times. I heard great things about their food. Every one in the World knows of Taylor Swift taking cooking lessons with Chef Jeanie Roland. But had I eaten…
