Food. I haz obsession. I pretty much think about food ALL DAY LONG and when I’m eating one meal I’m already thinking about the next. Fortunately, I have the awesomest genes on the planet because I manage to stay in good shape and health. But I often eat like crap. For example, my favorite food? [...]
Most women I know have dieted, are dieting, or plan to diet. I mean, I can’t be the only one that has to lose twenty-five pounds by this Saturday.
Let’s face it–food labels are there for a reason. But when you’ve got three kids yelling at you for cocoa puffs you don’t always have the leisure to read a label. That’s what the marketing companies depend on. Photo Credit
I have a bad habit of eating like a garbage disposal. It makes perfect sense, waste-wise. It’s a natural chain of events— a simple formula: whatIcookfortheboys – whattheydon’teat = easymealsforme
Boy have I got a Whopper to tell you! Yup, the capital “W” on Whopper is intended. You see this story has something to do with Whoppers, the chocolate-covered malt balls I used to like until I was 10 years old. After 10, not so much. 10-year-old me had a sweet after school routine. On [...]
It’s almost Pesach (that’s Passover to you folks who think a yarmulke is some kind of string instrument), a time that, traditionally, rhetorical questions are asked. Like, Why is this night different from all other nights? (Answer: Because we’re forced to mispronounce Biblical names out loud before we get to eat). Or, why are Girl [...]

There are studies that show how stimulants have a calming, soothing effect on ADHD brains. Which is why stimulants work on ADHD [...]
It is officially the end of February? How many of your New Year’s resolutions have you kept? That’s what I thought. I’m willing to bet that at least one or two of you out there resolved to take some of your holiday weight off this year, and I hate to break it to you but [...]
I had only been back in the country for less than 24 hours, having been to visit relatives back in the UK, but the kitchen and I had not gotten off to an auspicious start. Firstly, and for reasons completely unknown to me at the time, I thought I could save a bit of time [...]
I grew up in an Irish-Catholic, meat-and-taters family. When I met my future sucker husband, the list of foods I WOULD eat was much shorter than the food I WOULDN’T eat. The first time he brought me home for dinner they served these bizarre foods like zucchini and chick peas and olives and herbs and [...]
Big surprise here–I am not as Southern as my family is. Oh sure, I can throw a y’all around like it’s nobody’s bidness,and I love chatting with strangers. But when it comes to Southern cuisine I am a grits and biscuit gal, not a gumbo and aspic gal. So did I just hear a couple [...]
