May 18, 2011Look Who’s Eating Solids & Lemon Ricotta Cookies
I had to get a new high chair. I love how this Chicco reclines for her to be oh so comfortable while I bake goodies. She’s eating cereal and fruit like she’s been doing it for years. She’s still a great baby and still sleeping through the night. She’s just so chill, I love it! [...]

March 24, 2010Yum Noir: Sweet Potato and Ground Beef Turnovers
I’d been planning to post this recipe for a while and since I am making them this weekend, there is no time like the present. I am always looking for an alternative for ground meat. After hamburgers, spaghetti and ground beef with fettucine alfredo, what else is there? These cute things. My kids love finger [...]
