Dinner at Christina’s

Well, it was lunch, but that’s the name of her blog ! I was running about 20 minutes late but still was the first to arrive. I was kind of nervous/anxious because while I know these women through their blogs, it can be different when you actually meet in person! And I am considerably older than these women, so that was a variable! But I felt at home once we started talking about food! And it wasn’t until I got home that I realized that we didn’t take a group photo! Christina made two

Back to School Series: Ten Lunchbox Showstoppers!

What's for lunch? Does this question fill you or your little student with dread or excitement ? Ponder that thought and keep reading... The Main Event. Well when it comes to school lunches it's always a great idea to have a main event Lunchbox Showstopper. Snacks are great, but you can't survive on snacks alone. (Your student may sadly disagree with you on this fact!) Thankfully, there's nothing like a showstopping main entree to really drive a healthy appetite. So here's a few heal

Menu Plan Monday Template

Since we spent 2 days last week eating saltines and drinking Ginger Ale, I decided this week will be another “pantry challenge” week! I plan to run to Kroger later in the week to grab some “freebies” in the big Daytona 300 sale, plus a few things for the following week. I like “lite” shopping weeks, when I can rely on what I’ve got stashed in the fridge and freezer! I also would like to keep better track of what we’ll have for breakfast and lunch as well. With the new dietary restrictions

Fuel Exchange

Burn a little, eat a little! Our bike ride over here was a bit strenuous, as we took a detour so we could put a blanket down for the symphony tonight. But we made it! Once we were at Karen’s, Matt wanted to go for a run around her neighborhood. I had planned to do the elliptical, but a run sounded good so I agreed to a short one. 3 miles later, we were back inside and spent about 15 minutes chatting and weight lifting before I declared it was time for lunch! We’ve still got a bike ride home

Summer in the Mediterranean

For the first time in my adult life I made a meal that I conceptualized on my own and it came out good. So good in fact that I’m pretty excited to have a whole bunch of it left over so it can become lunch this week. As I have explained before I’m not much of a cook. In fact if it isn’t a recipe safely printed on paper in front of me or something I have tried at least a billion times, it is pretty likely the end result will be something so wrong even the raccoons in our dumpster won’t eat it.

Nice ambience and environment too .... love this design and chairs....very comfortable! It was crowded during weekend....luckily we got a place to

Ultimate Recipe Swap: Time to Picnic

Picnics are fun affairs. I love to pack up a lunch and eat outdoors, and so do my children. One of my favorites is the impromptu affair with In-N-Out Burger . But, if I have time to plan, then here's what we might pack - my recipe for A Great Picnic : tablecloth (and tablecloth weights or clips if the wind is up) paper plates, cups and napkins plastic flatware bug screens to cover the food booster seat for the baby pitcher of Old Fashioned Lemonade Guacamole, Salsa , and Chips F

Toting one’s lunch now a hip, healthy trend (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)

Frugality is the new black. Throw in the terms eco-friendly and healthier, and the result is a trifecta of hip. Who knew packing a lunch could symbolize so much?
