I’m back! Well, sort of. I’m kind of enjoying the lazy, crazy days of summer that leave us looking happily spent at the end of the day. We’ve been doing lots of swimming, fort building, game playing, and reading. Dinners with friends, art classes, playdates and simple meals. I had my friend Amy over one day, and as our kids ran screaming around the house, we shared good conversation over…
***Contest has now ended**** When I met Michelle Dudash a few months ago, not only was she the cutest little mama I ever did see, but her passion for food was instantly apparent.

Oh sure, we’ve had a few pizza nights using frozen gluten-free crusts, but it’s SO not the same as homemade. And it’s not nearly as much fun either, especially for my little helpers. Which is why I was so excited when my blogging friend Gretchen…
I remember the first time I set out to make my own pesto. I had seen TV chefs make it for years, and it seemed pretty simple. Plus, pesto is yum, and I wanted to eat more of it. I headed to the store and grabbed a bunch of basil and a hunk of parmesan. Two pricey items if you’re not at Trader Joe’s. Then I set out to search…

Oh I forgot, you all are much more organized than me. Well, if that ever should happen to you, here’s an easy idea that will make you look fancy in no time. Grab a bag of golden California raisins,…
