Petit Foodie

So what is a mother to do when her baby starts school for the very first time and she is left alone staring at three large garden tomatoes?  She cries alot and then decides to get your butt up and make salsa! Then proceedes to eat the whole damned batch!

Those folks that preach about how [...]

I went to see EAT, PRAY, LOVE this weekend! I loved every minute of it.  Aside from being the youngest in the theater it was a really great time.  I was astonished not to see more people my age there?  I think it’s a pretty important book for young women to read.  I’m tired of [...]

Whenever I go to an Italian restaurant I almost always get the ravioli! They are one of my favorites. Who doesn’t love a pasta pocket filled with a little suprise in the middle? It’s like Christmas with all over again!

When FoodBuzz Tastmaker sent me a coupon for Buitoni Riserva Pasta I was curious.  I’m not [...]

Muffins make my heart sing! They are the best thing invented for working mothers!

My weekend was all about balance. 
There was some of this:

Fresh mahi-mahi caught by my dad and younger brother {my hero’s!}.  You see I have always loved mahi-mahi {so nice ya gotta say it twice}.  I will never forget when I was pregnant with Ava I consumed mass amounts of mahi-mahi.  Then I found out that [...]

The weekend is finally in sight!  It has been a long week and some much needed R&R is in store.

 
I hope your weekend is filled with lots of beauty!

Buying jams and jellies can be such a headache for me.  So much that I tend to avoid the situation {something I tend to do often}.  This leads to plain old nut butter sandwiches.  Which leads to a cranky mommy and five-year-old.  I just find it so unappealing to buy jams that are loaded with [...]
