My kiddos and I discovered Dancing Deer Baking Company at Mom Mixer in Philly earlier this month. We had this display set up with Dancing Deer's Chocolate Chunk Brownies and their Molasses Cookies. They were soooo good you guys. I'm too embarrassed to admit how many of the brownies I ate but needless to say, I did not go hungry that day. They … [Read more...]

As a former vegetarian for animal rights reasons, this issue is important to me. Read below for a piece from a guest writer on the ASCPA's movement to Change Your Chicken. I think this is an important one. We always, if given the opportunity, buy organic free range chickens but labels aren't always to be believed. See below: Did you know … [Read more...]

Last Saturday night I took a cooking class at my local Sur La Table. The class was called Flavors of Spain so naturally, we were learning how to make a variety of dishes native to Spain. I almost didn't make it to the class. I had signed up weeks before and on the day of the class we had decided to head up to the Poconos for a quick day of … [Read more...]

My body is so much happier with me the last week and a half. I definitely abused it with some serious holiday overeating, which is fine, but now that we're back to the grind I feel SO MUCH BETTER eating healthy again. And as a bonus, I haven't even really been dieting but I've lost a pound and a half! Woo! I find that I'm not the only one … [Read more...]

Back in July sometime, I got a note about doing a campaign with Balance Bar and Walmart. I said yes because I'm always up for trying a new energy bar and then promptly forgot about it until earlier this week. I realized I hadn't checked it out yet so I sent hubby over to Walmart to pick us up a couple of boxes of Balance Bars and see what we … [Read more...]

I've been totally into quinoa ever since I first learned how to cook with it back in 2012 when I went to a cooking class in Philadelphia with P&G. That was also the first night I actually learned how to pronounce quinoa - do you know how? It's KEEN-WAH. In case you were wondering. I know was and I was definitely mangling the … [Read more...]
One of my favorite brands at Blogger Bash earlier this month in NYC was Zipz Wine. You can tell from this photo with my bloggy girlfriend Melissa that I was MORE THAN EXCITED to find Zipz Wine at the event. So I don't know if you guys can tell from the photo what it is but Zipz Wine is single serve wine glasses to go. You can "unzip" the … [Read more...]
