Dunkin’ Donuts: Holiday Flavored Coffees

I heart coffee. Not that I recall my first cup or anything. Perhaps in the college dining hall? In France? Milky coffee with a chocolate digestive biscuit in an English tea room? I’m not a tea drinker, despite the genes. Dunkin’ Donuts holds memories for me. As a little kid living in New Jersey,...

I’m one of #TheFamilyDish Ambassadors and a #Giveaway

October 21, 2010
By

A few months ago I was asked to be an ambassador for Unilever’s food line. I must admit that if you had asked what foods Unilever makes I would have given you a blank stare. I thought Unilever manufactured cleansing products, like Dove. I know now that Unilever makes Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Ragu Spaghetti Sauce,...

Our weekly lunch menu is as follows: If kids are home, I cook. On days off school and weekends, my older kids often make their own lunches. If kids are at school, I pack their lunches 4 out of 5 days. 1 day out of 5 I let the children buy the school lunch....

Unilever Showcases Brands @BlogHer

The Unilever Penthouse at #BlogHer was fun. “Fun” really is an inadequate word to describe the awesomeness of the event…hair, makeup, reflexology, food sampling, crafting, and more was on tap at the Unilever event. I wasn’t sure how Unilever would showcase its food line and skin care products in the same space…but the Unilever...

Breyer’s…Mmmm Good and a #Giveaway

August 3, 2010

I can’t hide ice cream from the children. Their little noses sniff out the ice cream. I could hang out near the garage fridge nibbling on ice cream, but sooner or later a kid pops his/her head out to ask what I am doing out there. I could buy the ice cream that I...

A New Breakfast Staple

I’m not a short order cook…especially not at breakfast time. My husband is a breakfast lover. I prefer to go out for brunch. As a way to feed my family a healthy breakfast, I rely on several staples: bagels and cream cheese, pancakes, and waffles. Waffles are huge hit with everyone in the family....

Trying a New Concept in Weight Control and a Discount Code to Try the Products

Baby weight? Is it accurate to refer to baby weight when your babies are 7, 11, and 14? No, I didn’t think so! But, I am struggling with my weight. I lose some. I gain some, but I never get anywhere near my goal weight. My goal weight is largely unattainable to me. Did...

Dinnertime Barilla Style

I was sent a Barilla gift bag complete with an insulated tote, measuring spoon, pasta holder, wooden spoon, assorted pasta, coupons and recipes from Mario Batali. This wasn’t my first encounter with Barilla. I met the Barilla reps at Mom 2.0 in Houston. Barilla chefs — not Mario Batali — cooked lunch on the...
