I’ll take any shortcut I can get…
March 25, 2009 by · 8 Comments
I heart shortcuts.Whether I'm driving, working, cleaning, cooking...I just love a shortcut. Anything that can make my life easier and help me manage my time (and my sanity!) is worth it in my book. My latest shortcut obsession has to do with cooking.I already have this love affair with Birdseye Steamfresh frozen veggies and now I have another goodie in my freezer that I just love, love, love...These little bits of frozen herbs rock. One cube equals to one teaspoon of herbal deliciousness and there are so many varieties to choose from! We currently have in our freezer the crushed ginger and the chopped parsley.

I've become a professional at ignoring the bickering that goes on at the kitchen table during the … [Read more...]
THAT WAS THE BEST SLEEPOVER EVER!

I'm on the assumption that the number one sign of sleepover success is a room that looks the same as my daughter's did (see above) the morning after she had six of her friends spend the night for her birthday. And, to think, we spent the morning of the sleepover cleaning her room and putting everything in it's place. I mean, I don't mop before we have friends over for a cookout, so why did I ever possibly think that it would have been necessary to reorganize and power clean an 8 year old's bedroom just hours before her friends showed up?? … [Read more...]
