After dinner ritual
Most nights after dinner, the 4 of us walk to our neighborhood grocery store or gas station. We don’t always need to buy something (however, often times we do…I can always think of something I need from the grocery store!),…
Dinner Tonight: Grilled Scallops with Risotto
This sounds so fancy, right? I hope it doesn’t sound complicated because it’s not. Trust me! You want to hear a secret? I often eat scallops for lunch. They’re so quick and easy, that I buy them and prepare them…
Crazy Week!
We’ve had one of those C-R-A-Z-Y weeks…the kind of week that even a weekend doesn’t help you recover from. Thankfully, this next week looks calm and quiet. We ate brunch at Spoons this morning…my two boys enjoying our time :).

Dinner Tonight: Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich
The other night, hubs asked if we could have a grilled chicken Caesar for dinner. I love a Caesar salad but it kind of sounded a little boring for my supper. Then I thought, why not put a grilled chicken…
And the winner is…

Bundt Cake #35: Nutella
If you’ve never tried Nutella, now is the time. Nutella is extremely popular in Europe but not quite as famous over here in the US. It’s this wonderful chocolate-hazelnut spread that has the texture of peanut butter. It is soooooo…
Happy Birthday Andrew (part 2)
Last weekend (I know…I’m behind), we celebrated Andrew’s birthday yet again (we celebrated his actual birthday in Disney World here). This time, we had dinner at Bucca di Beppo and then dessert at Mom and Dad’s house. The whole crazy…
