I’m always on the hunt for desserts that I can serve to my sister who has a wheat allergy. I found this recipe in my new favorite book, “Short and Sweet”, by Melanie Barnard. I made these for the first time for Anna’s birthday and then again on Sunday when my bookclub came over.
It was [...]
Our little 1 year old has been pretty busy lately and I’ve been trying to take pictures of it all. Unfortunately, Anna moves pretty fast these days so it’s hard to catch her and get a photo.
As part of Anna’s new fattening diet we’ve been giving her peanut butter. So far, she’s not a huge [...]
As most of you have probably not noticed, I had Mike take the Denver Restaurant Review Club website down a while ago. No one visited it, I got a lot of spam on it and well, there isn’t any more RRC meetings.
But, I don’t want to deprive anyone of the recipes that were on there, [...]
The other day when Mike and Nate were brewing the latest batch of beer Mike added some lemon zest to the brew. When he asked what he should do with the lemon, I told him to keep it and I would make him some lemon mousse. Mike’s eyes seemed to brighten at that proposal..

It’s been snowing here since Thursday night and as of the writing of this post, it’s still going. I love snow, especially on weekends when we can just hang out in the house and don’t have to worry about going anywhere. It’s been a pretty dry winter here – we spent most of it under [...]
One of the many new words that you learn when you become a parent is “percentile”. I’ve heard this a lot lately and I’ve really started to hate that word…
Every time your child goes to the doctor for a “wellness” visit – which are generally every few months in the first year – they get [...]
I’ve finally tonight had time to off load the pictures from Anna’s birthday (I know – 10 days later – sorry!)
For her birthday we decided to have a small gathering. There was a snow storm the day before so Mike’s dad did not arrive for Anna’s birthday and my Aunt Diane and Uncle Ted were [...]
A long time ago my sister and I made a deal with each other that if we ever even considered buying a minivan, the other sister would make every attempt, including maiming, to dissuade the insane minivan buying sister. The minivan seemed like such a horrid expression of motherhood that it made us cringe.
I’ve been [...]
Yesterday was Anna’s 1st birthday. We celebrated with a small gathering of my family at our house. The star was a little overwhelmed and mostly stared at us all while we waited for her to dig into her strawberry cupcake and whipped cream frosting. Next year I think she’ll be a little more excited…
I’m working [...]
I have finished another book! Impressive, no?
For our book club this month, my friend Andrea picked “Sarah’s Key” by Tatiana De Rosnay. I finished it quickly, in about a week, which is pretty good considering how little time I have to read these days. It was really engrossing, so I sped right through it.
The book [...]
