I am both appalled and amazed at how my children go about mastering the English language. I am ALL FOR expanding vocabulary and learning how to use new words in super cool ways. I am definitely a product of my dad’s famous phrase, “Look it up,” spouted every time he stumped us with his SAT …
My mom gave me a crock pot for Christmas. This thing is amazing. Mom sent me a message asking how I like it? How do I like it???? “Loooove it,” is what I told her. “It is like a magical pot of cooking happiness!!! Why did I never have this insanely awesome invention before now???” …
For a minute I worried that the word “spinach” in the title of this post might deter people from reading it. But then I realized that a picture of toasty warm quesadillas paired with a big spoonful of lowfat sour cream, no matter the green filling, appeals to almost everybody. If you don’t like spinach …
I managed to avoid most of the housework on New Year’s Day, following the superstition that you might inadvertently sweep all the good luck away. Lord knows I need all the luck I can get. But avoiding housework one day means that there is twice as much on the next, so I have been scrubbing …
Can I just mention that this is the first New Year’s Day that I didn’t have to be at work at 5:45 a.m. in YEARS? It’s amazing. I’m just sayin.

The kids are still home from school, and though they have a host of new toys, games, and water guns (thanks, Aunt Lindsey), they really seem to most enjoy harassing each other. And me. Yesterday when Andrew’s belligerent little butt got sent to …
**********UPDATE 1/30/2013: First I’d like to say a great big huge THANK YOU for reading Sugar Dish Me; the response on this post has been great!! Second… many of you have left comments and sent emails with questions about this recipe, and while I have addressed those issues specifically to each individual, I wrote an …
Yep. That song. Don’t pretend like you don’t know it. Cause you do. And it is stuck in my head since yesterday when my sister Lindsey repeated the refrain half a dozen times. I’m sure you are wondering why she might want to sing that particular tribute to the 70’s over and over right before Christmas, …
Let’s talk about cell phones for a minute. Most of us have them. If we don’t have them, we call them. Cell phones are capable of amazing things. You can talk, text, check your email, update your Facebook… I can even write this blog from my cell phone (I don’t, but I could)! Cell phone cameras …
