"Is dinner ready yet?" That sentence usually pops up around 4:15 pm on any given day, right when you are starting to cook and wondering why you even bother. My kids come home from school, have a snack or two, and by 4 pm they are acting like they have not eaten in 3 days. I always say the same thing, "Guys, it is 4:00 - GO PLAY, it will be ready when it is ready." I am going to share some easy, and quick recipes below in hopes that it makes cooking dinner a little bit easier. Now let me just say, I am no chef! However my husband is, he is an executive chef and he is an...

Basically, it is a low carb and high (healthy) fat diet to help your body produce ketones to burn fat rather than using sugars/carbs for energy. Google will give you a much more scientific and better definition than the hoopla I provided. My husband has had great success in losing weight by following this low carb plan. He is a total meat eater and could survive on ground meat alone with a painful amount of hot sauce. I, on the other hand, looooove me some carbs. I...

A lot of us have jumped on board of trying to find ways to be 'healthier' with it being the new year. This normally consists of a workout regime as well as an eating plan that limits the amount of processed foods and sugar we consume. Not good timing with it being Carnival Season ... hint, hint ... KING CAKES! I have been trying to limit the amount of sugar I eat, knowing that I will be able to get the rest of my family on board as well. Diet has been something on my list of things to do since we have had the assumption that my son was on the Autism spectrum as well as having ADD. We...

I lead a double life. I am the sister to twins, the wife of a twin, and now mother of twins. Things have come in twos all my life. I like to think that being a sister of twins and then marrying one prepared me for the role of raising twins. I’m not sure anything can really prepare you though. It’s double the trouble and twice the diapers. Double the tears and twice the tantrums. It’s double the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thankfully, I have a mom and mother-in-law to compare notes to. Their experience and perspectives from raising twins have been helpful for advice, a shoulder to cry on, or just an encouraging word or two. So yes, sometimes it’s double...
