I love Olympic years-2 full weeks of great competition events that we never get to see normally. I mean how great is luging. So what better way to celebrate the first week of the 2014 Winter Olympics than with the top 5 greatest Winter Olympic movies ever made. Some of you may agree, some of you may think I’m smoking crack for thinking any of these movies are the greatest, but deep down – even if you don’t want to admit it – you know I’m right. 5. Mighty Ducks 2 Although it was the Junior Goodwill Games and not…
Balsamic Glazed Baby Portobellos
0We have finally been going out on date nights and a few weeks we hit up Trulucks for their all you can eat stone crabs. I was quite disappointed in my final total, but marveled at our friends who took down 23 legs a piece. Believe it or not, one of the most delicious things about that meal was one of the side dishes…balsamic glazed baby bellos. Drooling just thinking about them. My husband and I were talking about them for days when we both agreed we could totally make them ourselves. Challenge accepted. Better-Than-Trulucks Balsamic Glazed Baby Portobellos Mushrooms…

Meatless Friday’s: Fettuccine Alfredo
0My 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…
Memorable 1st Birthday Gift Ideas
0I am bashing my head against a wall trying to figure out what to get my niece and daughter for their 1st birthdays. They are 5 weeks apart and I’m sorry, but clothes and little toys will just not cut it for this special milestone. I wanted to get them both something special, fun and meaningful. Something that they will get some use out of for a while and not grow out of it in a few weeks or be bored of in a few hours. Here’s what I have come up with so far: 1. Table & Chairs Set:…
