Food, Family, and Lifestyle
During mid-August, my lovely friend Uchenna and her son were visiting. One of Uche’s requests was to go to NYC for the day and amongst other stops, to head to the World Trade Center and 911Memorial. Our time at the 911 Memorial was painful, inspiring, and educational. We stood at each reflecting pool and answered…
I have been obsessed with Panera Bread’s latest and greatest salad, the Chilled Shrimp & Soba Noodle Salad. So obsessed that the kids demanded that they get to try it and see what all the fuss was about. With all the school shopping and running around preparing for company over the past few weeks, I have…

Last week the kids and I took a whirlwind trip to NYC to attend the BirdsEye #PlayWithVeggies event. I was looking forward to the event as the topic was “Rewriting the Dinnertime Rules” about fun ways to include more vegetables in your meals.
