I posted pizza bites this past week, but this blog is full of more ideas for Super Bowl grub. Search for yourself, or try these below. Loaded taco salad. Perfect popcorn.

Rethinking vegetables
My kids eat brussel sprouts and pretty much any other vegetable. Part of this fact, I realize is just plain good fortune.

She was incessantly whining about the cereal I got her and as is common when she whines, I lost my cool. Without even knowing how timely, my mom … Continue reading Remember the Rose Bowl
