We hosted a charity wine-tasting Saturday evening with Chef Lee Blakely from Wines For Humanity. If you aren’t familiar with them, check them out at www.winesforhumanity.com. A portion of the proceeds from purchased wine goes to charity. Our tasting benefited The Pantry of Broward County (www.thepantryofbroward.org). I think my husband may have fallen in love …

It’s been a long time since my last post and I think that in that time, just about every day it seems, I’ve gotten a question from someone wanting to improve their nutrition but they just can’t give up sugar. Typically, people know they should give up the obvious stuff like Sweet-n-lo, Little Debbie Snack …
Happy New Year! If you, like I, over-ate and under-slept throughout the months of November and December, you are not alone. One too many Baby Jesus Birthday cakes, regular birthday cakes, peach cookies hand-delivered by my in-laws from my favorite bakery in Pittsburgh and going over my one-glass-ration of wine have me feeling a little …

This is by far the ‘recipe’ for which I get the most requests and about which I get the most questions. My husband gave this smoothie its name for obvious reasons; the details of which I’ll spare you. And I’ve been promising for months that I would post it, but (and I know you must …
It’s been a long time! My apologies. Baby #3 is 10 months old and STILL doesn’t sleep through the night. So much for the third child being ‘the easy one’. Oh well. He’s really cute so we are going to keep him. Anyway…there was such a positive response (thank you) to the quinoa recipe I …
I’m sure you have all been losing sleep over how to get organic dried cherries…you will rest well tonight knowing they do exist. Last month I posted a quinoa recipe that lists dried cherries as an ingredient. I mentioned that I have been looking for dried cherries that are organic without added sugar because cherries …

While back in the ‘Burgh last month, my mother-n-law and I took my dinosaur-obsessed sons to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Wow.

Since I started this blog I’ve been asked consistently about body lotion. Here’s my ‘recipe’ for an inexpensive concoction that can be used for body oil, bath oil or massage oil. I’ve been using the same ‘recycled’ 8 ounce glass bottle with a pump for years. I just refill it every 2 to 3 months. …
This is my version of a recipe from Martha Stewart Living magazine from probably 10 years ago. My husband would literally eat this every day. It’s dummy-proof and requires no cooking beyond boiling water for your noodles of choice. This is great served hot (our favorite), room temperature or chilled, so it’s perfect for just …
I know summer hasn’t quite hit in the north but it’s officially hot in Ft. Lauderdale. So here’s a recipe for one of our favorite ways to cool down. If you like bananas and chocolate, you’ll love these. For the moms out there, your kids probably already love bananas which are high in potassium, but …
