In our home, we have 6 kids and 2 adults. I would love to buy produce more often, but one of the reasons I don’t is because it seems to always go bad so quickly. When I had the opportunity to check out the FreshWorks™ Produce Saver from Rubbermaid, I jumped on the opportunity to […]...

In our family, we love to eat pasta! The kids especially love to eat spaghetti and lasagna, but I like to change it up sometimes. One of my favorite ways to change it up is by making Linguine with White Clam Sauce. This recipe was first introduced to me by my stepmom when I was […]...
I love to use my crock pot, but honestly wished I used it more! I have set a goal for myself to make and share more crock pot recipes on The Mommy-Files during 2016. One of the great things about using a crock pot is that the meal cooks all day long and I don’t have […]...

Did you know that National Pi (like the number) Day is in March? Rather than celebrating the number, I’m putting my own twist on the word and celebrating my love for pie. ;I don’t know about you, but as much as I love pie, I have the hardest time finishing a whole pie! Now, mini […]...
This past summer, Frank and I had the opportunity to take the boys to Maui for my little sister’s wedding. I love Maui! It’s relaxing, beautiful and romantic (even with kids). One of my favorite memories of Maui was going with my dad and stepmom when I turned 13. I snorkeled, went swimming, made a […]...

I love to snack throughout the day and sometimes, the snacks I have on hand just get boring! I’m sure that goes the same for our kids too, but it’s even more challenging, and sometimes impossible, to get our kids to try new foods. I mean, most of us have preferences with certain foods, especially […]...
I recently tried the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken and it was so good! It was easy to heat up, full of flavor, and totally juicy, which surprised as it was frozen chicken! I heated our Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken in a pan on the stove and it heated up quickly and was gone […]...
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 […]...
