Summer Tastings at Bruegger’s Bagels
Earlier this year I posted about my tour of Bruegger’s Bagels. It turns out that my cousin is the manager of one of the local stores. Who knew? Anyway, when I was asked to check out their summer menu, I certainly wasn’t going to say no. But the stores aren’t really all that convenient to… [more]
Nut-Free Snacking with Skeeter Snacks
I made the mistake of leaving my box of Skeeter Snacks (sent to us for review purposes) in a box on the counter. While I wasn’t looking, the kids stole and ate almost all of the samples. This says more than the most eloquent review I could write. First of all, the kids remembered past… [more]

To be honest, I wasn’t all that familiar with Bruegger’s Bagels until they hosted a blogger event last year. And it… [more]
Healthy Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Tacos
I have a few confessions. First of all, I need to lose weight. Second, I don’t cook nearly as often as I know I should. We have food allergies to deal with, and a couple of very, very picky eaters. I compensate for some of our challenges by buying a lot of whole grains and… [more]
Fall Back in Love–Fun, Fondue, and a Giveaway
Big Guy and I have been married 8 years. We can’t decide if it feels like more or less, but it is what it is. We’re not big “date night” people (we’d both rather just stay home with the kids off to visit grandparents), but every year we try to do a weekend away together.… [more]
