Recipe: Simply Satisfying Summer Salad

If you’re like me you’re always short on time in the summer yet you’re looking for something healthy, delicious, and simple for dinner … stressing on simple.

Finding time in the break

As the last school bell rang this month, ushering out the 2010-2011 school year, kids everywhere jumped for joy at the sudden freedom that comes with summer break. If their moms were anything like me, their first thought was “Let the juggling begin!” One of the hardest parts of summer break for me is finding [...]

Jump!

  Whether or not the weather where you live is complying (it’s not here, FYI), Summer has finally arrived! Summer, for many of us, means the kids are at home and out of school (and probably BOOOORRRREEED) and you either don’t want to go to the gym or work out cause you don’t have time [...]

New Challenge:: May Your Way!

As I sit here and look out my window and see the blowing trees and the white stuff covering the ground {again}, I am finding it really hard to believe that today is May 1st. I have double and triple-checked my calendar, and it assures me that it is indeed, the first day of May. [...]

Summer Salads Rock: Strawberry-Basil Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

I made this salad last Summer when visiting with Christy at her Hill Country abode.  It was deliciously fresh and simple and yummy and all of our children ate it up.  Yes, five children eating salad- it really did happen.  In fact, if I had some strawberries in the house, I would totally be making [...]

New Challenge: Shrinking Days of Summer

Ahhhhh yes.  Summertime is upon us.  Which can only mean one thing.  Swimsuit time Will I ever wear a bikini again? Probably not since the last time I wore one was over 15 years, before 3 pregnancies, and a *few* pounds less.  I’m still searching for that miracle bathing suit that lifts the “girls”, minimizes [...]
