Grapes for Heart Health

My trip to Washington State to take part in the grape harvest and tour a Welch’s juice processing plant was paid for by Welch’s. I was not compensated to write this post. All thoughts are my own. American Heart Month is coming to a close, though really we should be eating in a way to […]

Happy new year! Hope everyone’s year is off to a great start! I’ve unplugged a bit over the holidays so I can spend more time with my family and recharge my own batteries. It felt good to take a break and now I’m pumped to dive back into work. There are some exciting things on […]

Still Time for Summer Fun in the Kitchen

Here in Georgia, school is starting back in 3 short weeks. It is hard to believe school is so close, which makes it feel like the end of summer is at hand, which it clearly isn’t. There is still plenty of time for summer adventures, and of course I love those that involve the kitchen. These […]

Menu Plan Monday – May 26

Happy Memorial Day! It is hard to adequately put into words the gratitude I feel for those who have sacrificed so much to protect our country. Last week was a whirlwind.

Say Yes to 4 of Children’s Favorites Foods

My appearance this morning on CBS Better Mornings Atlanta was sponsored by Applegate Farms.   When you ask children what their favorite foods are, the top three are generally hot dogs, pizza and chicken nuggets. But these foods aren’t generally on the top of parent’s lists for what to feed their children. In a recent […]

Slow Cooker Thai Chicken and Vegetable Curry

This past weekend we went to our local farmers market. It is the first time I’ve been this season. We always have other things going on, but I was glad to finally make it. I was working on a post for another site about taking children to the farmers market, so I decided to take my […]
