I feel like all I do is plan parties, host parties and clean up after parties all summer long! It doesn’t help that both of my children were born in the summer, so birthday parties’ planning rules. Thank goodness I love to host. Still, I do tend to take things to another level. From Memorial […]
Summer get-togethers are incredible. The kids play outside, enjoying the warm air and water toys, and adults are free to socialize over delicious food and refreshing drinks. That said, school being out leaves me with little time to prepare for potlucks and barbecues and, like you, I don’t want to be the parent that shows […]
Who doesn’t love fresh fruit for dessert in the summertime, right? Whether it’s slices of watermelon or berries picked fresh from the garden, fruit is the healthy dessert. The only downside is that it can get old and boring. Plain old fruit quickly becomes dull to kids and adults alike, and there’s only so many times […]
It’s summertime and there’s no shortage of get thin quick schemes right now as we enter (and somehow survive) bikini season.

I’ve learned over the years of preparing food for my family that kids don’t always like […]
I’ve been known to add cucumbers to my water from time to time during the summer months. It’s so hot and dry and I get so dehydrated I have to drink a ton of water to keep up. But, why not add some zesty taste to plain water, just to make it more interesting? I […]
If we’re being completely honest here, and we are, I have to admit that I hate to cook during the summer months. It’s hot, I’m tired and I’d really rather be spending my time watching my kids run around outside as the sun starts to fade. I can’t stand spending an hour stuck in a […]
I have a confession to make…I don’t really like potatoes all that much. I know, it’s crazy, who doesn’t like potatoes, right? Me. I don’t. I mean, I tolerate them in things like my abuela’s breakfast burritos or my husband’s huevos rancheros but I don’t seek out potatoes as a side or main dish. Ever. […]
