Have you ever heard of the 40 bags in 40 days challenge? It's popular during Lent. The idea is very simple: over the course of 40 days, remove 40 bags of "stuff" from your house. Sell it, donate it, toss it, recycle it... it doesn't matter, as

One of my favorite things about this time of year is spending time in the kitchen with my boys.
I'll admit I don't love to bake (bread excluded, of course) but I do love to try new recipes. This year I decided to eschew the dreaded cookies, save for a few favorites that would lead to mutiny if…

My family loves the show “Chopped” on the Food Network. Tonight, since we didn’t have any activities right after school, I thought it would be fun if we played Chopped at home. My two oldest sons (12 and 8) love to cook and my youngest (3) loves to help,
so they were up for the challenge.

A question was asked on the recipe exchange this morning about freezing onions. That got me thinking about all of the things I freeze.
I don’t like to waste. There are five mouths to feed in this house and food is expensive, so I freeze anything that won’t get used up in a timely manner.

There’s an Amish community about 40 minutes from my home where I like to shop for dry goods such as spices, grains and any flour you can imagine. The prices can’t be beat. My mother-in-law knows how much I enjoy it, so last week, she recommended to me

My oldest son has ADD, for which he takes meds. Truth be told, I hate his ADD medicine. I also have ADD and don’t take medicine because of the way it makes me feel. My son prefers to take it though. He doesn’t like some side effects that he gets from the
meds, but he does like his improved

Devon is just a street in Chicago, but it makes my heart swell every time my family visits.
They say that the U.S. is a melting pot, and Devon is proof of that. It's an amalgamation of diasporas. It's culture and religion and race and a reminder of the humanity of us all.
