If you’re wondering “At what age can I give my baby cookies?” the answer is “It depends on what kind of cookies.” Truly, I hope you’re not wanting to give your baby Oreos or Chips Ahoy cookies. If your baby is ready for food (sitting independently, sturdily, and can bring food to her mouth on…
This is what Anneliese’s room looks like right now… We’re finally getting ready to paint her room the color we’ve had in mind since before she was born. I just hope it turns out the way I have envisioned it. I didn’t do a patch test with the paint, so I’m not positive, but I…
Tonight’s dinner was fantastically fresh. BLT Summer rolls, blanched veggies, and a ranch sauce for dipping. When I read this BlogHer post, I became obsessed with finding rice paper. Easier said than done… but finally I found a “hole in the wall” Asian grocery store, and they had them. So I happily carted them home,…

I’ve been trying and trying to write up this recipe… but my mind is blank. So sorry, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see how I made this: Also? It was goooood. While my mind is (mostly) blank, I’m totally completely stuck on the fact that November is almost over. 2010 is almost over….
Today, I made these grain-free granola bars, but when I was making the honey-coconut oil mixture, I dumped in a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder. Oh, YUM! And for dinner, I made crispy skin chicken thighs, but I put them on top of some carrots while they were in the oven. The carrots got all…
I thought these were decently good, but my husband said they weren’t good enough. So you don’t get the recipe. And this is my post for the day. I’m doing NaBloPoMo again, where you post every day in November. Well, sometimes there isn’t a whole lot to say. Or things you want to say but…
What Is It? Coconut cream concentrate is basically ground up coconuts, oil and all. Think of peanut butter, but instead of peanuts, it’s coconuts. In the name of all that is holy, this is amazing stuff. It’s mostly fat (1 tablespoon contains almost 100 calories of fat) which means a spoonful can be an excellent…
What is it? Guess what I got in the mail a few days ago! If you guessed YET ANOTHER Department of Defense survey (this time addressed to my baby), you’d be right! If you guessed a HUGE tub of organic dried shredded coconut from Tropical Traditions, you’d also be right! There’s nothing but coconut in…

I was super-excited because today was the day I was to receive a free fruit basket from Proflowers to review. It arrived via FedEx at about 3:00pm and I hurried to open it. Item Description: 2 Green Comice or D’Anjou Pears 2 Granny Smith Apples 3 Gala Apples 3 Navel Oranges 2 Red Grapefruit 8…
I think I’ve mentioned that I’ve been freezing meals for post-baby… so last night I wanted to poach some chicken breasts and freeze some for easy meals (throwing into veggies/sauce, making into chicken taco salads, etc). So I poached 6 breasts, and cut up 2 to use in dinner, which was sort of a repeat…
