On Sunday mornings, after reading a bit of the New York Times, I start to think about the week ahead, how busy it might be, and what we will have for dinner. Lately we’ve been so busy that I haven’t had much time to think about food, nor do I want to. I don’t day-dream about food, I just like eating it. Coming up with recipes is challenging sometimes, I get in ruts, and making sure we’re eating a diverse menu is important. Eating the same old stuff is boring, and we like to try new things all the time. For meal inspiration this week, I found some old Cooking…
Build Your Own Tostada
Tostada night is a common one around here. We enjoy it because: It’s Mexican food, and Mexican tends to be easy for nut-allergies You get to make your own Beer pairs well Easy + fast Tostadas are just like tacos, except they are giant, round, crunchy, corn tortillas that you eat like New York style pizza.

One of the best parts of traveling is trying new food. And then taking that idea home with you and recreating it in your kitchen. I haven’t always been adventurous with creating delicious food. And I’m probably even more cautious now with a nut-allergic child. However, I still try to sample things I normally would not. Like Green Chicken Chili. I had a spicy version of this when we were in Chicago a few weeks ago. Technically, I consider myself a chili connoisseur. If a restaurant has chili, I try it. It’s a quest to find the BEST CHILI EVER! After we got back from vacation, I was flipping through…
Red Pepper Couscous
Have you ever had your credit card number compromised? I’m too familiar with this process. By now, I’m mostly annoyed. Last year our credit card number was stolen 4 times. This year, our bank has changed our number once already (last month) out of “an abundance of caution.” I’m super annoyed. Naturally, I make lists. However, I haven’t made a list, YET, for all of the vendors linked to automatic bill pay with this specific card. Now I am. The time it takes to re-enter all of my billing information for all of these companies blows my mind. Some websites are easier than others. But some are difficult to navigate…
