This past weekend, we took Alex to the Vans store to pick out a new pair of shoes. He originally chose a brightly colored pair he'd seen on shoe hero, and just when we thought we were done, the Vans employee that was helping get Alex fitted said, "You know, a lot of people like to buy the plain white slip-ons and use fabric markers to create their own design." Alex's eyes got huge and bright. He was sold on the idea! So we bought a white pair of shoes and headed home with only a vague idea … [Read more...]
Japanese Fried Quinoa — Tastes Just Like Fried Rice
Hi there! Long time, no post. Just wanted to hop on here long enough to share a yummy recipe that my family loves. It's basically Japanese fried rice--minus the rice. In our efforts to eat a little healthier these days, I've been using quinoa in anything I can and this recipe is no exception. It's nothing groundbreaking, but definitely an easy, yummy meal that suits just about anyone. We (especially my son and I) love the fried rice at our local Hibachi grill. This comes so close to … [Read more...]
Dreamy Photos of Elliott

Crescent Veggie Stromboli
I wish I had a better name that conveyed the deliciousness that is stuffed into this thing, but I'm feeling uninspired in the name department this evening. I'm mourning what seems to be the death of my beloved camera. It errored out on me on the last shot of this post and all the quick fixes I'm finding online are not working. RIP, my dear friend. You treated me well over the past 2 years and 11 months. Back to the matter at hand, though. This recipe is my favorite of 2011 up to this … [Read more...]
