My Italian-ness oozes over into every part of my life. Especially the kitchen! Nothing beats Italiano food…NOTHING! Clearly I am biased. So there is no doubt in my mind that I am not going to let a Meatless Friday go by without making some pasta. Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite indulgences. Although I don’t eat that often (thanks to all that butter and heavy cream!), so when I do, I can eat bowls and bowls of this stuff! Best part is this recipe is super easy and can compete with some of the best Italian restaurants. Simple Fettuccine…
Daydream Toy Doodle-Track Car Review!
0Is it normal for a toddler girl to be infatuated with toy cars? I think so! I know I used to have a little collection of Matchbox cars – along with all my dolls and Barbies When DayDream Toy sent me their best selling Doodle-Track Car, both my little one and I were super excited. You can draw your own track or print out some really cool designs on their website for the red car to race around. Little did I know there was more to this sweet looking car than meets the eye. Using its special marker, you can…
Meatless Friday’s: Easy Lo Mein
1I have been having a hankering for some homemade Chinese food. As easy as it is to pick up the phone and just order it, I felt adventurous and decided to test out my wok skills in the kitchen. I don’t know if any of you out there have ever made homemade Chinese, but its complete insanity if you don’t know what you’re doing! The last time I attempted homemade Chinese, my husband and I were just dating, you know, in that cutesy, lovey-dovey stage and decided to make my mom a whole spread for her birthday dinner. Wontons, lo…
Meatless Fridays – Baked Tilapia
0Meatless Fridays are back! Its that time of the year again And we are certainly kicking it off with a bang. My husband has been dying for fish and I only can eat it when I’m in the mood for it. That could be weeks, months… So I felt bad, the poor guy works his ass off and just had one dinner request, kinda had to make it, right?? He wanted healthy, I’m giving him healthy! Baked tilapia with shallots, parsley and lemon….side of brown rice and veggies! If that ain’t healthy, I don’t know what is. Baked Tilapia 2…
Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts
0Valentine’s Day: Just another day in February, right? Wrong. Thanks to Hallmark and God knows who else, this damn “holiday” has taken over every man and woman’s life. What makes this one day so special? What about every other day of the year? I know I’m not the only one who feels like this so I won’t go off on my tangent……………. But if you are like my husband who loves this day, gifts and nice dinners are usually on the agenda. Of course when we were dating it was a different story – flowers sent to my work, sweet…
Poop Problems – 5 Home Remedies To Help Constipation In Children
4I know this may be a rather gross topic to discuss but if you have a small child, you probably have had a constipation problem at least once, if not more. Especially if you have a picky eater like me and who always seems to be struggling with #2. Sometimes they aren’t getting enough fiber in their diets. I know mine isn’t and I try everything to sneak it in – blended up with pasta, compensate with high fiber fruits – but sometimes that just doesn’t help keep her regular. We’ve got mad poop problems. It got so bad, my…
Homemade Spaghettio’s
0Growing up I never ate Spaghettio’s. No Chef Boyardee either. Sure, as a kid I got sucked into those cool commercials and begged my mom to get them for me but she knew better. I mean, who wants to eat Italian out of a can?! Now that I’m 30 and still have yet to try either, there is still that kid in me that wonders what the hell all the fuss was about. Well, luckily I came across Pennies On A Platter’s homemade version on Pinterest and I felt obligated to my 8 year old self to make it. Thank…

Disinfecting Your Home From Viruses
0I wrote Monday how I was MIA from a nasty stomach virus and thought the damn thing had finally left my family after unleashing its massive destruction on everyone, sparing my husband and daughter. Well, I spoke way too soon. The other day turned out to be the day from stomach virus hell. Both my husband and daughter got whatever has been looming around. After being thrown up on numerous times and on the verge of tears most of the day, I quickly had to pull myself together and put on my nurse, mommy, concerned wife and cleaning lady hats….
