Local Love: Barhop Sessions (a #MonerisMatch)

Tuesday's are sacred for me. They're my day. It's the one consistent day that I have childcare help (until we a find part-time daycare or nanny) and they have become a highlight in my week in that I can leave the condo for almost the whole day and work, or meet a friend, or even treat myself to a solo lunch or even, gasp, a mid-day beer if I so choose. Even though I might have a block of 4-5 hours of me-time on a Tuesday, I always choose to stay local, usually somewhere within walking distance or a short streetcar ride, so that I can hom[...]

{Video} Veggie Frittata Recipe

I’m no food blogger but I love to eat, and sometimes I even love to cook ;) When I do cook, baking is usually the route I take because it is just so much easier (aka I don’t have to pay that much attention to my dish once it’s in the oven). When I bake I gravitate towards eggs-based recipes because they are such a valuable source of high-quality protein, I know the twins will eat them, they are loaded with nutrient goodness, and they tend to freeze really well which means easy reheats for us on busy days. Or any day, lol.read more[...]
