From the monthly archives: March 2012
I am so very excited about this post! I have such a hard time keeping a secret, good thing my husband isn’t another blogger because I blabbed to him about doing this from the moment I got the request from Chef Dennis about doing a guest post.
To be honest, I was a [...]
Orange Scented Cinnamon Roll Bread
On March 24, 2012
Sometimes I swear this is what I say all day long: No; can you say please; no; don’t jump on that; no; do you need to go potty; no; you need to share; no. If I had a dime for every time I uttered those words…I’d have a lot of dimes!
This week, “Do need [...]
Pomegranate BBQ Grilled Salmon Salad
On March 20, 2012
When my husband and I first started dating, he promised to make dinner for me one night. He lit up the grill and threw on some steaks, sausages, and chicken. When everything was done, he presented me a Flintstone’s sized pile of meat and said, “Let’s eat.”
My response? “Where [...]
Mexican Risotto
On March 17, 2012

On March 13, 2012

Grilled Halloumi with Pomegranate Molasses
On March 11, 2012
I am exhausted! The kids and I spent the morning on a ”field trip” to the Royal Camel Farm. We saw tons of camels up close and they are still talking about the poop (remember the Christmas camel?)
But in keeping with the Middle Eastern theme today, I’m finally getting around [...]
Make Ahead Monday: Strawberry Fruit Leather
On March 5, 2012
My kids are all or nothing. Zero to one hundred. Black or white. A few weeks ago, C was into strawberries. He couldn’t get enough. He was eating a carton a day. Then, one morning I put a few on his plate for breakfast. What does he say?
“Ma, no [...]
Grilled Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
On March 4, 2012
Every once in a while life feels so ironic. Just the other day I was telling a friend that we’ve been lucky because haven’t had to go to a hospital since we’ve been here. Well, this weekend our luck ran out.
We were at a birthday party when my daughter jumped off of [...]
