There were barrels of cabbage in our market this week. People go crazy for the traditional corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day, and while I enjoy that my husband does not. Neither do the kids, but that goes without saying. Stuffed cabbage is close enough and at least the two out of four of us will eat it. If you want a delicious hearty meal that is also healthy and filling, this is a great option. If you're following a special low carb diet, you can omit the rice but this filling is ... read more

Broccoli Bacon Masher – Revolutionary Pizza
I could enjoy pizza every day of the week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It makes perfect sense because it combines three of my favorite things - sauce, cheese and carbs, all in a single bite. When I saw this recipe for the Broccoli Bacon Masher Pizza in my Revolutionary Pizza cookbook, I knew I had to try it. Essentially, this pie is a loaded baked potato on pizza crust, and it is heavenly. It's the perfect comfort food on a chilly fall day. Even though I love my basic pizza dough ... read more
Sous Vide Cooking with Anova Precision® Cooker Pro
For years I have heard all about how sous vide is the way to go. That food is cooked perfectly this way. How it is foolproof and many restaurants rely on this method. So I reached out to Anova to see if they would send me a unit to test out. Last week a Precision® Cooker Pro arrived at my doorstep. Here's what happened. The first thing I made using the Precision® Cooker Pro was scallops. Now scallops are not difficult to cook, but I had already planned on making them for dinner. Plus I ... read more
Educational Valentine’s Day Gifts for Kids
Affiliate links are included below. There is no better time to show the kids some love. It's our first (and hopefully last) pandemic Valentine's Day and I feel it's more important than ever to go above and beyond. These kids have missed out on so much so I plan on making this holiday extra special, but we're still detoxing from the Christmas season and I don't want to give a whole lot of candy. The most important things you can give your kids are free: love, time, attention. But if you ... read more
DIY Crayon Heart Classroom Valentines
For some reason, I can't stand crayons that aren't perfect. We had a box full of broken, unwrapped, sample-sized and other misfit crayons and I wanted no part of them. They had to go, I hated them. But I loved the idea of making something new, useful even from these throw-aways. Make studs out of these duds! I've seen countless pins on pinterest on how to make heart-shaped crayons using your own sliced-and-diced bits and pieces. This is what worked for me. I found this Wilton Ruffled 6 ... read more
Homemade Carpet Cleaning Solution
Post contains affiliate links Last year I purchased a Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro so that we could both spot and deep clean our carpets. Before that we had a spot bot but we decided it was time to upgrade to something more serious. With two cats and a large dog this purchase was long overdue. The cats can have problems digesting food and as you can imagine spills - and a lot of pet hair - happen often around here so this machine sees a lot of daily use. This thing means business; ... read more
Brownie Mix Cookies
These cookies have been a long time coming. I jotted down the recipe months ago and with 4 or 5 boxes of brownie mix collecting in my pantry, I decided that it was about time we finally made them. Simply mix the ingredients and spoon tablespoons of dough onto a cookie sheet or as I did, roll it into balls before baking. Either way it takes about 10-15 minutes to cook in the oven. The first batch I baked wasn't in the oven long enough so popped them back in to cook some more and ... read more
Make your own ribbon board
Originally published on July 15, 2011. Post includes affiliate links. How many adorable photo Christmas cards do you receive each year? Opening these personalized cards is a special treat, and it’s especially more meaningful when they’re from those who live far away. It’s nice to be able to see their smiling faces and take note of the changes in them since the same time last year. As each holiday season comes to an end I struggle between my need to de-clutter and the guilt I feel when ... read more
How To Get FREE Cash Back By Shopping Online
I do a decent amount of shopping online for several reasons, mainly convenience. It's no fun schlepping both kids to and from the store. And you can't put a price on having the ability to comparison shop with or without pants. With all of the things going on in my life, I sometimes forget the steps I used to take before making online purchases. So this post is as much about reminding myself as it is to inform you all about Rakuten. If you are not using Rakuten yet, run over and sign up for an ... read more
