While in Dallas last weekend, I not only got to get my bliss on, but I also had some good hang out time with my sister.  As she was driving me to the airport yesterday, I realized we had failed to take a single photo together.  So I pulled out my iPhone and attempted to [...]

Joe is in the middle of a two week spring break.  We’ve hit the baseball field, train park, garden and a few friends houses.  We’ve listened to Peter Pan and Robin Hood on the record player, built forts and watched old school Garfield cartoons.  And that was just week one.  Now we’re getting into science [...]

Best Ever Veggie Dip

March 5, 2013
Almond Butter + Sriracha = Best Ever Veggie Dip from InspiredRD.com

I can’t take credit for this idea.  My friend and fellow celiac Shannon told me about this unlikely pairing last summer, and I have been devouring it ever since. Sounds weird, doesn’t it?  I promise, it’s so good.  Just be sure to portion some out on a plate, or you’ll end up eating the entire bowl. [...]

Last weekend, we headed to the garden to grab the rest of the rainbow carrots. The kids and I had so much fun pulling them up, “oohing” and “ahhing” over the colors and shapes. Each pull was like a new surprise. Would it be yellow? Purple? Pink? Orange? We ended up with so many carrots [...]

Leila and I experimented in the kitchen yesterday with some California raisins, nuts, chia seeds and cinnamon. We were trying to make a healthy snack that would be perfect for before dance class (her) or after a run (me). I thought for sure that we would have to do a few rounds to get them [...]

Endive Salad Bites by InspiredRD.com

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the urge to purge.  Organize.  Clean.  I couldn’t figure out why, especially since I’m not an organized person at heart.  Then it hit me: I’m nesting. No, not that kind of nesting. Spring Training starts this week.  Which means a huge shift in our schedule, and the start [...]

I remember the first time I saw a bunch of rainbow carrots.  I was in awe of their beauty and couldn’t wait to see what they tasted like.  But I was afraid to mess them up.  How would I cook them?  Should I cook them?  Then I exhaled and realized I could buy more than [...]

"Stay Healthy" Juice from InspiredRD.com

Joe finally woke up without a fever this morning, but he passed it right along to Leila.  So we started out another sick day at home with some Shirley Temple.  Unfortunately for all of us, the song she sings about animal crackers in her soup will be forever stuck in our heads. We took a [...]
