I have three boys and Frank has two boys and a girl. Each of them has gone through (and still goes through) phases where they are picky eaters. Your little one could be a picky eater because of texture, color, or taste. Heck, I remember growing up and HATING cooked carrots. Ok, let me just [...]
This Valentine’s Day was a little different than most. For starters, Frank and I got to spend it with the boys and some of our close friends. What was different that the day started off with me preparing a batch of the Johnsonville® Fire House Chili. Let me tell ya – it was HOT!!! FIRE HOUSE [...]
I grew up with the Campbell’s brand in my home and now as a mother, so does my own family. I know that Campbell’s is a brand we enjoy and trust and what’s even better is that it’s a brand that makes products that are heart-healthy. Heart disease is something that runs in my family, [...]

The holidays are here and Nestlé Coffee-Mate has some really yummy flavors out for a limited time. I headed to Walmart and picked up my favorite – French Vanilla – and then a flavor I had not tried before – Peppermint Mocha. I had the task of creating a coffee drink at home with my [...]
You know that old school rule, “Don’t play with your food?” Well, we kind of threw that out the window recently. We totally played with our food and created cute holiday characters out of our Tyson Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets from Sam’s Club! I didn’t visit our local Sam’s Club, but actually visited a Sam’s [...]

I grew up with Campbell’s soups and so have my boys, so I was really looking forward to trying out the new Campbell’s Skillet Sauces. Let me tell you, we now have a family favorite in our home! Our local Albertson’s [...]
Every year in our home, we celebrate Thanksgiving as a family and part of the celebration involves a delicious dinner. We include stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a Butterball Turkey. Of all the brands available, Butterball is my favorite! I remember being a little girl and going to [...]
I recently had an awesome opportunity to work with Chef Boyardee and The Motherhood, talking about my boys and eating habits.
