As you may know by now, Kora’s birthday is in the beginning of December and Logan’s is at the end of January. With their birthdays so close together and right during the holidays, we decided to start having double birthday parties. We have one party for the both of them for each side of the [...]
One of my favorite things to do when I’m stressed or if things are hectic is to sit down with a cup of tea and cinnamon toast. Taking the time to really enjoy the tea and toast, reminds me of my childhood. My mom makes the best cinnamon toast and it was one of my [...]
Happy Chinese New Year! P.F. Chang’s is celebrating the Year of the Dragon with two new Home Menu Meals for 2. The first is Grilled Chicken Teriyaki with Lo Mein Noodles. To tell you the truth, I was hesitant to try this meal because I have never been a big fan of teriyaki sauce. However, [...]
Everyone has heard of wine connoisseurs. You know those people who know everything there is to know about wine. I bet though there are not too many popcorn connoisseurs. Randy and I have a membership in this club. I just don’t understand why we get strange looks when we tell people we have popcorn for [...]
I have to be honest, winter is not my favorite season. I love living in Cleveland, but our winters can be harsh. With below freezing temperatures and snow piling up outside our door, it’s tough to stay warm. That’s why I love making comfort foods when the temperature drops. I enjoy cooking and warming up [...]
Somewhere along the way, I’ve become a choco-holic. If you can believe it, I never liked chocolate much as a kid. However, now I can’t get enough of it. So much so, that I now find myself tweeting things like this: I tweeted this just a few days ago, after I ate too much of [...]
I have to admit I am a pushover for any TV show concerning cooking. I watch all the Top Chef’s, Iron Chef’s, Rachel Ray’s among others. So when I had the opportunity to read The Kitchen Counter Cooking School: How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices into Fearless Home Cooks by Kathleen Flinn, [...]
Nothing says Sunday to Dave like Cleveland Browns football. He’s a die hard fan and no matter if the team is winning or losing, he tunes in for every game. I like football but can’t say I’m quite the fan that Dave is. In fact, I must confess that my favorite part of football is [...]
Growing up we always used stick butter. It wasn’t until I met Dave that I had ever even tried Country Crock. Once I did I was hooked. It is so easy to spread and has such a great taste that I haven’t gone back to stick butter since. We use Country Crock every day to [...]
I’ve never had Greek yogurt. I am a big fan of yogurt and have been eating Activia yogurt for years. It such a great snack to grab on the go, which is important in my new role of taxi mom shuttling the kids to and from school and after school events. I’ve just never made the [...]
In just the last week or so, it has been darker and darker each morning as we get up. Being a family of night owls, this makes it tough to roll out of bed in the morning for all us. So we try to do our best to get prepared the night before by laying [...]
Kora and Logan love to help in the kitchen. Ever since Kora started all day kindergarten, Logan has been home for lunch and one of his favorite parts of the day is making his own lunch. We’ve made many pb&j sandwiches and many ham & cheese sandwiches. This past weekend we were on the lookout [...]
About a year ago, Tired Dad Dave came home with a Walmart grocery bag full of Clear American Water. I had tried flavored waters in past but never really enjoyed their flat taste. So needless to say I was a little reluctant to try yet another brand. However, I’m so glad I did! Clear American [...]
Eating healthy can sometimes be a challenge. Lately, I’ve been a bit tired of being tired, so I’ve started focusing on what I eat and trying to make more nutritious choices for myself. I always make sure Kora and Logan have healthy meal and snack options, but sometimes I’ll find myself sneaking a handful of [...]
One of my biggest struggles with eating is portion control. It’s so difficult to know how much is the correct amount to eat. I can never remember what foods are supposed to be the size of my fist or fit in the palm of my hand. Thankfully Marie Callender’s now offers a line of 34 [...]
A couple of months back Tired Dad Dave started a new job. He’s been enjoying the job, but has been struggling a bit trying to figure out how to adapt from working at home to going back to an office. He’s biggest challenge has been lunch. He was so used to walking into our kitchen [...]
We recently had the chance to review products from True Citrus including True Lemon, True Lemon Raspberry Lemonade, True Lime, and True Orange. The best part of True Lemon, True Lime and True Orange is that it is 100% natural, made from lemon, limes and oranges. It also contains 0 calories and 0 preservatives. My [...]
I love trying new recipes and new food products. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to review the new Kraft Parmesan Seasoning Blends. These packages of pre-mixed parmesan cheese, herbs, and seasonings can turn a typical weeknight meal into a gourmet style dinner. As you can see, Kraft Parmesan Seasoning Blends come in three [...]
The rumors are true! Oreo has come out with a new incredible cookie! The Triple Double Oreo is slated to hit shelves this August and is one not to miss. The Triple Double Oreo is just what it sounds like. A triple-decker cookie with three layers of traditional chocolate Oreo cookie wafers sandwiching one layer [...]
Tired Mom Tésa and I have different opinions on lots of things. She loves to vacation, loves to travel, loves to write about travel, loves to think about travelling (get the picture??). Myself, along with most other Tired Dads, have a different viewpoint. Tired Mom Tésa thinks of travel as going to Paris, going to [...]
