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! [...]

I was so hungry the other night. When I started couponing I observed that Genaurdi’s had shrimp on sale for a ridiculously low price and I had it up to here (position hands over your head) with chicken. I swear to you, if I eat another chicken, I might cluck. So I threw the shrimp [...]

I’m always game for a new series. This Thankful Thought series isn’t my idea-it’s from my favorite digital scrapbooking site-AliEdwards.com.  I spend so much time on there it’s a wonder I get anything done. But wait, I don’t get much done as is. I’m finally taking part in something that she’s doing and I’m so [...]

Last week wasn’t a good food week for us. When I have one mishap in the kitchen, it throws me off for the entire week. Sunday is my big cooking day and last Sunday I decided to make a recipe I’d been eyeing for a while. Salmon Pie. Now, I’m a pretty good cook but [...]

Lately, I’ve been making smoothies and my go to concoction always involves bananas. Once I started playing around with different fruits, the bananas weren’t needed anymore. I found a few flavor combinations that made me neglect my poor little monkey treats. I’ve always been a fan of banana bread but I never made one nor [...]

It’s a trini thing but I’ll help you understand. I have vivid memories of Christmas morning and they all involve food-particulary pone and sweetbread. I would go out on Christmas eve and come home in the early morning to my mom in her red robe or green house dress getting breakfast ready. The house smelled [...]

I’m a bit surprised that not all families sit down for dinner together. I get that everyone’s busy but I couldn’t even imagine eating dinner without the fam. The thought of one kid downstairs and another being too busy to eat is one I can’t wrap my head around. According to the Journal of Nutrition [...]

So if you’ve ever seen an episode of Mom Noir Cooks, (well it’s only really been one episode on my Ustream channel-but we’re coming back in the fall), you would know I enjoy baking with the kids. My wifey, Ina Garten, has told me on numerous occasions  to crack each egg separately, that way if [...]

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 [...]
