What to do about the Flu?

I can’t even remember the last time my kids had a stomach virus, though at least one of the four has them every other year or so and it only last a day! The most my kids come down with are the seasonal allergies and colds, and the occasional ear ache. If you’re family has…

Ho Hum Holidays

Though I’m so very blessed and have many things to be thankful for, I still get down around the holidays. Who wants to cook a huge turkey with all the trimmings for two adults and four finicky kids! I can probably count on one hand how many times we’ve spent Thanksgiving with family over the…

Holiday Cookies Made Easier

Last year when I took a plate of Christmas cookies to my daughter’s preschool teacher I was surprised by her comment. “Thank you. Not many people give homemade Christmas cookies anymore.

Ciao, Pizza Cutter

For an Italian to throw a pizza cutter away it’s a big deal. (Don’t tell mama) but I found it’s much easier to cut pizza with a kitchen scissor. We usually cut our slices in half so everyone can get their favorite types of pizza, but it’s great for cutting pizza into pieces for the…

Chicken Without Arsenic…It Works for Me

Did you know that many chicken farms feed an arsenic corn mix to their chickens? So when you think you’re eating healthy at one of those fast food resturants by getting a grilled chicken sandwich, are you getting a stomach full of arsenic instead? I’ve done some research and Tyson used to use a similar…
