Whenever I’m in a store that sells lunchware, I always mosey over to see what they have in stock. Inevitably, I am disappointed to find a host of the usual suspects: an array of flimsy plastic lunch boxes which smell strongly of, well, plastic and have cartoon characters splashed all over them. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Hello Kitty and Bob the Builder as much as the next gal, but most of the lunch boxes you’ll find in stores these days do not represent the healthiest way to pack your kids’ lunch — far from it. So, when my kids were given So Young lunch boxes for…

A few months ago I went to a parent-teacher potluck meeting at my kids’ school. The drill is each parent brings a dish big enough to serve about 20 people, which is no small feat for a busy mom. But what’s awesome about these events is that there always an array of delicious homemade dishes to sample from lasagna to crunchy…

My mother used to make the most insanely delicious zucchini bread. I don’t remember eating a lot of zucchini in side dishes as a kid (which is sad because I love it so much), but I sure remember her bread. It’s was sweet and moist with thin ribbons of zucchini laced throughout. Was that just her way of getting zucchini into our diet or was she simply baking something that she enjoyed making and we loved eating? I’d say the latter since, no one was holding me down telling me I had to…

In our house, we’re big on weekend cooking. My kids love helping out and I find that if I make a few recipes on Saturday or Sunday to store in the fridge or freezer, I have a lot less cooking to do during the week when life gets overwhelming. That doesn’t mean that we spend the entire weekend in the kitchen. Far from it. Our recipes have to be quick and easy so we can get out and do other things together. I treasure our weekends because they often…

When you’ve got two kids running around the kitchen and you’re trying to focus on too many things at once, mistakes happen (I guess welcome to motherhood, right?). The other night, I had tossed zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower into the food processor to make Crock Pot Lasagna and accidentally left it running while I ran to answer the phone. The next thing I knew, the veggies that were supposed to be roughly chopped were now chopped so fine that they…
