It’s Friday and it’s been one heck of week. Here’s a recap: soccer, dance, gymnastics, hubby out of town, water in house turned off because some irresponsible housewife forgot to pay the bill (ahem), had my 6 year old son’s first tooth pulled yesterday (long story but it’s been loose for a very long time)……I…
Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potato and Cabbage Salad
I am so happy to be sharing this delicious Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potato and Cabbage Salad recipe today. I had envisioned making this all weekend and really meant to get a post up on Sunday but it was just one of those days that I literally ran out of time. We got home from mass…
Eat Right for National Nutrition Month
It’s time to eat right. March is National Nutrition Month and the theme for 2013 is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” which encourages personalized healthy eating styles and supports the fact that different factors affect our diets such as lifestyles, cultural traditions, food intolerances, allergies, etc. I think this is a great theme because…
