I enjoy cooking, but I don’t enjoy all the time I spend preparing and cooking meals. This is not to say I won’t do it, but I love it when meals are made easily. I was recently introduced to Campbell’s Slow Cooker Sauces and love them! Not only do they make meal preparation easy, but […]...

In our family, we eat a lot of spaghetti! In fact, the boys’ faces always light up when I announce that we’re having spaghetti for dinner. Usually when I make spaghetti, I have to break the noodles in half so they’ll fit in the pot. Not any more though, since I discovered Anthony’s Pot-Sized Pasta! […]...

Growing up, I don’t remember too many meals together at the dinner table, other than at holidays and on the weekends sometimes. With a family of my own, I made the decision that I wanted our family to eat together every night (if possible). It’s not only about enjoying good family together, but also about […]...

Every year, I host an Annual Cookie Exchange and invite our family and friends. It’s a fun event where we socialize, eat, exchange cookies, eat, laugh, and eat some more! A big part of the Cookie Exchange is obviously the assortment of cookies that everyone brings, but it’s also the snacks and foods you provide […]...

In our home, dinner is the main meal where I make sure we all sit down at the table together as a family. I have to admit that I’m not as good with breakfast. In the mornings, the kids are usually eating breakfast while I’m making lunches and double-checking backpacks to make sure homework, permission […]...

Recently, I shared our experience on The Mommy-Files with the Pillsbury® Funfetti Lil’ Donut Kits and our family. Our kids love to eat donuts. Often times, I find myself spending anywhere from $10 to $20 to purchase donuts on Saturday or Sunday morning for our 6 kids. That can add up pretty fast. That’s when I discovered the...

I have three boys and Frank has two boys and a girl. Each of them has gone through (and still goes through) phases where they are picky eaters. Your little one could be a picky eater because of texture, color, or taste. Heck, I remember growing up and HATING cooked carrots. Ok, let me just […]...
