I finally broke down and attacked my son with scissors last night. Wait! That came out wrong! Don’t call CPS on me! What I mean is that I finally cut his hair. By myself. In a moment of desperation, right in between needing a new outfit and the bath. (You mom’s know what I’m talking about.) So I cut his hair.

Tips and Tricks Use brand name cream cheese. A brand like Philadelphia works best I’ve found. Also be sure to use full fat cream cheese, it will give your cheesecake the best flavor and texture.

Eggs straight from the refrigerator can actually cool your other ingredients and make the cheesecake batter chunky....

Free-form fruit tarts and galettes are quick and delicious use of seasonal fruit and because there’s fruit you can feel less guilty about eating dessert.

We are spending a couple of weeks away at my Mother’s summer house. I love the countryside, and being surrounded by nature. But with this heatwave, I really don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen.

Have you ever been trapped on an airplane with a lap-baby and a 3-year-old who just wet her pants? Yeah, me neither. But just hypothetically, what you should NOT do is take her all the way to the front of the plane (carting aforementioned 20-pound baby) only to be told that you can’t wait there, go to the back of the plane and wait, (shuffling slowly behind the drink dispensing flight attendant) where you wait some more while the ice-cup-filling flight attendant eyes your barefoot, pants-less child and says, “People always think there’s water on the floor of airplane bathrooms…it’s not....

Fresh Lime Juice Anytime you are making really any recipe, the fresher your ingredients the more delicious your recipe is going to turn out.

Valentine, who is 3, just raced into the kitchen from the backyard, grabbed a kleenex from the drawer, and ran back outside. We watched her through the window as she went to a certain spot and looked around frantically, searching for something. And then she saw it: a tiny spider, jumping and scrambling to get away as she tried to use the kleenex to squish it. I think she probably looked a bit like Darla from Finding Nemo, with the crazy eyes....
