super size me

We have been having an unusually wet spring, but hey, summer is right around the corner. Things have to warm up, right?! It was 45°F today and I had to turn the furnace on, which should make anyone cranky in June. After having soccer camp rained out the boys wanted to watch a movie, [...]

The whole idea of a healthy chocolate muffin sounds ludicrous. Doesn’t it?
In my head the word muffin is synonymous with healthy, I know that isn’t true but cupcake is supposed to be the bad boy. However the only chocolate muffins I have ever had are those ginormous Costco versions that must have more calories than [...]

Inspired by Jamie Oliver’s speech on TED. I have made a simple soup that anyone can make for a quick healthy meal with only a couple ingredients and a few minutes. It would even make a great substitute for your green beer on St. Patty’s Day. Green beer, by the way, is a bad idea. [...]

Sunday was a lot of things, St. Nikolaus Day, My grandmother’s 95th birthday, and a day of travel.
Driving across the state of Washington is not my favorite thing to do. The boring 370 mile trek through the cities, the mountain pass then forever along the straight, mostly flat, roads of the Columbia Plateau on the [...]

Today my baby boy, who is 10 years old, told me that when he grows up he wants to be like Snuggles. He wants to be like Snuggles because Snuggles is big, buff and hairy. Now Snuggles is a player on the University Rugby team that my husband coaches. Snuggles is also a cage fighter. [...]

Tastier than chips and way better for you! This is the perfect party snack, for folks who aren’t skittish about eating with their fingers. Food is more fun if you can play with it!
