Ok, raise your hands … who loves Pinterest? It’s filled with so many fabulous ideas, though I must admit, I’m still getting the hang of it. (I also still use a flip phone circa 2002 – try not to judge.) But I love seeing all of the cute and crafty concoctions out there, especially the kid-friendly recipes. This week it inspired me to stir up some chocolate nests with our new Mom’s No-Bake Cookie Mix. So sweet, so simple … and so utterly charming.

When I was a kid, I was mad about meatloaf because I didn’t really like it. Later, I was mad about Meat Loaf because wow … he was one weird and wonderful singer! (Ha! I crack me up!) Now as an adult, I think meatloaf is not only one of the best comfort foods, it’s also incredibly versatile.

Well…I had lots of leftover veggies from that awesome Rainbow Salad, so hmmmmmm….what to do? Make Rainbow PASTA salad of course! It is an adventure in deliciousness!

Back in the 70s and 80s when I was growing up, there was a wrestler who went by the name of “The Mongolian Stomper” – presumably because he was kind of a big guy, being a wrestler and all. At the height of his success, I was a gangly teenager, with spindly legs and ginormous, size...

I always have room for dessert. ALWAYS. While I envy some of my dainty co-workers and friends who are full after drinking a diet soda and eating a salad, I am not that girl. I could quite happily eat a piece of chocolate cake every day – and twice on Sunday.
