Why Everyone Should Love Peanut Butter and Jelly!
Thursday, June 19th, 2008A good peanut butter and Jelly sandwich is always one of my lunch time favorites. I stumbled upon an interesting campaign that elevates the importance of the lowly PB& J.

Meatless Monday
Monday, April 28th, 2008Today’s dinner was yummy! Thanks to Kalyn’s Kitchen- a great blog, I was able to combine the South Beach Phase One Diet with a vegetarian meal! Phase one only lasts two weeks but it can be hard to plan a vegetarian menu if you are trying to limit carbs. We had a great main course [...]
