Updated: May 14, 2013 7:01 am

One Hot Mama's 30 Day Cooking Challenge

May 2, 2013 3:01 pm

Updated: May 3, 2013 6:37 am

I have created a new challenge for myself to motivate me. I am a stay at home mom that has been gaining weight again. I have been serious funk. Getting bored. Getting bored with food. I have a reasonable stockpile of food too. My neighbor says that I have plenty of food to last for a while. I… MORE

I remember a surprise quiz that my 5th grade math teacher, Mrs. Conroy, gave our class one spring morning.

Low Desert Adventure

Apr. 14, 2013 4:08 pm

Updated: Apr. 22, 2013 10:33 pm

Last week we spent the day in the low desert Coachella Valley area of Palm Springs, California. So very different from where I live, but just as beautiful in a much different and compelling way. Our trip took us to the Wind Farms where the ever blowing wind keeps electricity flowing to over 1.6 MORE

More than 10 items or less...

Feb. 25, 2013 10:44 am

Updated: Mar. 3, 2013 6:08 pm

I think this was the first weekend in I don’t know how long, not including weekend trips out of town, that I didn’t go to my local ShopRite for anything. A weekend without a trip to the grocery store felt a lot like Anita Bryant without her orange juice. I didn’t even realize it until late… MORE

Who is going to The Souper Bowl ?

Jan. 18, 2013 7:29 am

Updated: Jan. 24, 2013 1:13 pm

There is a reason that the Oddsmakers in Las Vegas love me so much and my more than slightly inaccurate prognostications last weekend were a prime example of why. After predicting (not publicly and indeed well after the fact) all four wildcard games correctly the previous weekend, I only got… MORE

It’s that time of year again. The playoffs have started in the National Food-ball League and this week it’s the Divisional Playoff Round. I have to admit that life got in the way of my previewing the Wild Card Round but when you think about, the dishes that were eliminated (Cincinnati Chili,… MORE
