Hope your new year is off to a fresh start. If you’ve made some resolutions, I hope that you are still holding strong and working your way to meeting your aspirations for the year. I would love to hear what you all resolved to achieve in 2013, so please comment here, Tweet to me, or post on the Small Bites…
Hope everyone is having a Nutritioulicious holiday season so far! Can you believe tomorrow starts another year?! I for one can’t believe it’s almost January 1, 2013. At this time last year I was extremely pregnant and waiting for my babies to arrive (they were born January 5th). This New Year’s Eve I won’t be going to some fancy restaurant…
Chanukah is over, but the holiday season is still in full swing as we start the last two weeks of December. Holiday parties and events continue, which means more nights out and fewer at home cooking nutritious and delicious meals. As you start your week, you may have the best intentions to eat well balanced meals and stay active, but…
Friday afternoon as I sat down to plan my menu for this coming week, my husband started to laugh. He couldn’t believe I was already putting together a menu for the week to come when I hadn’t even finished cooking for that night’s dinner. It does seem like I’m always planning the next meal, but to make sure we eat…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Last week’s menu went pretty much as planned. Lots of Thanksgiving leftovers and a couple of new recipes that came out great. I had to make a couple of tweaks to the menu based on what was available at the supermarket, and there weren’t really enough leftovers for Sunday dinner, so we had pizza…
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend! My Turkey Day meal went great – a couple of minor glitches, but that’s par for the course for my first time cooking a big holiday meal. I can’t believe it’s over and the holiday season is here. Soon my twin girls will be a year old – now I need to start…
The big day is almost here. You know what I’m talking about – T-Day, Turkey Day, Thanksgiving! This is by far my favorite holiday and this year I’m hosting it. I must say, I’m a little overwhelmed at this prospect since the past few months have been the craziest I can remember – what with 10 1/2 month old twins…
Hope you had a great weekend! Ours was fun with some visits from friends and family, bagel and lox brunch on Saturday, and a birthday celebration for my brother and sister-in-law Sunday night. Getting ready to head out to Fairway for my weekly grocery shop. Hopefully I won’t be in the supermarket every day like I was last week after…
Hurricane Sandy really got in the way of last week’s MPM. Monday night as I was heating up the oven to make roasted broccoli, our power went off. I guess I should have started cooking earlier. Luckily we have gas burners, so I was able to light the stove and sauté the broccoli, and with the residual heat from the…
Happy Monday! I was all set with my menu for the week until Hurricane Sandy became a serious threat. I’m sitting at home right now waiting for the storm to hit and wondering what we’ll do if we lose power. I wasn’t nervous about this storm until everyone else around me seemed to be panicking. I think it’s contagious! I…
Last week’s menu was a success! Planning what we would eat and buying the groceries for the week led me to be able to carry out the plan with few disruptions. Let’s see if this week goes as well! I won’t be doing as much cooking since it’s a bit of a busy week, but here’s what we’ll be having:…
