Springtime is here whether we are ready or not! The suns beaming, the birds are chirping…ahh…It truly is my favorite time of year! With the change of weather comes a change in wardrobe. If your kiddies are like my little one, they are growing like weeds and need new clothes every other week practically! I was lucky enough to be invited to The Children’s Place Garden Party to introduce their spring styles. As soon as I walked into the store I spotted the sweetest dresses perfect for Spring. Pastels, florals, whites and seersucker as far as the eye could see….
Meatless Friday – Baked Fish Sticks
0Here we are, another week with out sweets and another friday without meat! I swear, my sweet tooth is going through some major withdrawls. Mostly at night. BLEH!! It is taking everything out of me not to dive into the giant banana-chocolate cake from my husband birthday this past Monday. Must.push.through!!!!!! So a few months ago, I was craving fish sticks. I have no idea why seeing as I never ate them as a child or even liked them much. You would think I was pregnant or something …. and for the record I am not!!! TRUST ME! I found…
Leftover Chicken Chop-Chop
0I always try to mix things up when I have leftover roasted chicken in the fridge. Back when I was in college I worked at a place called Ciccio & Tony’s (the best place ever – wish it wasn’t only in Tampa!!) where they added “Chop-chop’s” to the menu. They are pretty much like what Chicken Kitchen or Offerdahl’s offer, but a million times better. So I started making my own versions of these chop-chops with any leftovers I have. All you need is some rice (I prefer yellow but white, brown, jasmine work), salad, some type of dressing and…
WTF Nickelodeon
0If my daughter is in one of her “moods” (like she is at this very moment) and I’ve tried EVERYTHING to talk her down from the bratty ledge that shes on, there is usually only one thing that will ultimately work – “The Bubble Guppies”. If you are not familiar with these little guppies, its a show on Nickelodeon or Nick Jr (I’m still trying to figure out all these channels) and it has saved my sanity on many of occasions. It follows the adventures of 6 little merbabies/guppies – not entirely sure what they are but she absolutely LOVES…
Meatless Fridays – Pasta
0Now that its lent, for the next 9 Fridays, no meat! I have been searching for fish and vegetarian dishes to try out and can’t wait. Who knew I’d be so excited over not being able to have meat. Last Friday I was craving pasta. Nothing fancy, just a simple marinara sauce. MMMM! My husband gets mad at me because I refuse to keep any jarred pasta sauce in the house. It’s one of my weird house rules that MUST be followed. Its way too easy to whip up your own marinara sauce with some fresh ingredients than just popping…
