I’m always on the move for a good recipe that is quick to make, healthy and above all kid friendly! Most moms know that getting kids to eat can be a challenge. Finding foods that they love can be a large part of that challenge. I’ve recently went through some of my favorite recipes and [...]
I love making Chicken Parmesan. The problem is this can be a really lengthy process and can take a lot of time. Time is something I usually don’t have a lot of. A few weeks ago I hosted a little get together with some family and I served up Ragu’s No Frying Chicken Parmesan. Since [...]
There are so many times when I forget to take something out of the freezer for dinner. It’s not so bad if I forget in the morning and will be headed back home and can take something out when I return. But the days that I am not headed home, I end up with frozen [...]
One of the biggest things that seems to be a hurdle for us is leftovers. I hate cooking and having a ton of leftovers because frankly no one wants to eat them. I guess, unless it is a few of the famous recipes that I make. Those recipes tend to be favorites and will get [...]
Every week, like many families I head to the grocery store and make my trip. I try to stay stocked up on the little needs, like the condiments and what not to make the trip as quick as possible. To be honest I never was a grocery shopping girl. I can get in and out [...]
I guess technically it wasn’t a weekend, but it was a two day event and it was filled with a lot of information and facts that really were amazing to learn. Unilever, the name behind Ragu (and many other amazing brands), invited us into their offices and kitchen to learn about the brand. For the [...]

These days, the cost of groceries has gone up, the incomes may be decreasing, families are eating healthier, which can in turn make that grocery bill higher. How do you and your family balance your dinner budget? For me there is [...]
I think a topic that every mom can relate to is dinner. It doesn’t matter if you are the one cooking it or the one eating it; there are so many ‘dinner debates‘. We have been trying to work on healthier eating options for the kids, as well as ourselves. In looking at our diet, [...]
Dinner time is probably one of my favorite times. I’ll admit, it DOES sometimes gets stressful. I also admit that I am not up for cooking every night (I’ll have more solutions for this later). I am however, a huge fan of pasta and italian nights. The kids love them, we love them and they [...]
The last few weeks in my home have been pretty hectic. It’s the summer months and we have so many events and things going on. It’s really been out of the norm for us for a few weeks now and it’s not making very happy kiddos or parents. We have family in from out of [...]
When it comes to dinners in our house we generally have a pretty good plan. I am usually the one making the meals so I tend to look at what my plan is for the week, and fit the meals in accordingly. I then plan my shopping list and head off. As a mom, over [...]
