Mom, housewife & life hacker! Corporate drudge escapee writing recipes, tips & discount alerts. Still bring home the bacon & cook it up in 101 healthy way. You’re also going to find out that I’m a total Disney geek. I don’t know if it started with the Read-Along records (“When Tinker Bell waves her wand – bbblllliiiinnnggg – turn the page!”) or the Disneyland book my grandfather gave me around age 3, but however the innoculation happened, it was very effective. I’m happy that my kids share my passion, and I’m even happier that Portland has one of the fancy-shmancy new Imagination Park Disney Stores!

Chess Pie for Pi Day

by Jeannette

Chess PieOne of my favorite recipes for pie is quite simple — it’s a traditional Chess Pie. It’s not a “healthy” pie, per se, but Pi Day only comes once a year, so I say it’s find to splurge on calories once in a while, and this day is a perfect excuse!

I got this recipe from my grandmother, and it is a sort of vintage recipe, I believe. Simple is often the best, and this pie is pretty straightforward, with a confabulation of sugar, eggs, and a touch of vinegar that come together in a symphony of custardy goodness! Read More→

Food To Celebrate In March!

Milk Chocolate and Salted Caramel Gâteau Saint-Honoré

Milk Chocolate and Salted Caramel Gâteau Saint-Honoré is a great way to celebrate Chocolate Caramel Day on March 19th! Photo by Kimberly Vardeman (CC by 2.0)

There are many things you’ll learn about me, one being that I am a Foodie. I love food. It doesn’t have to be fancy food, either – I get immense joy out of a spoon of peanut butter. So, any celebrations of food are right up my alley. If you didn’t know these national celebration days existed, you can thank me later for giving you little reasons to put something special in your kids’ lunches or have a dinner that’s a little out of the ordinary. By the way, this is not an inclusive list – I just picked ones that sounded particularly fun to observe. (Some days, like National Turkey Neck Soup Day, just sound icky.) And don’t worry, I’ll find you some healthy ways to celebrate the scary-calorie-count days!

  1. Peanut Butter Lover’s Day
  2. Banana Cream Pie Day
  3. Cold Cuts Day (doesn’t excite me, but hey, I won’t judge)
  4. Pound Cake Day (pass the strawberries and whipped cream!)
  5. Cheese Doodle Day (what could be more fun than Cheese Doodles?!?!?)
  6. White Chocolate Cheesecake Day (Mmmm, cheesecake!)
  7. Crown Roast of Pork Day (I’m not sure what this is, but I want to try it)
  8. Peanut Cluster Day Read More→

Why Didn’t I Think of That? Wallet I.D. Tabs!

by Jeannette

Wallet Organization IdeaOk, I will admit it: I am a Bag Lady. I have a weakness for all kinds of bags, from reusable shopping bags to purses to wallets. You’ll be hearing more about this subject, have no fear of that! Today I’m focusing on an aspect of almost every wallet I own: they don’t want to give up my driver’s license. Maybe you’ve experienced this, too – a clerk asks to see your ID, and needs it out of the little window for whatever reason (usually because the name is obscured). Even if it has a little hole that supposedly helps you slide it out, you still end up doing a little dance to remove it. Well, no more. I want to share a little “fix” that someone showed me this week that just made me ridiculously excited. Read More→
