Let’s Go Shopping, Aldi Style…
During the Mom 2 Summit, I had the chance to participate in a field trip with one of the sponsors, Aldi. If you have an Aldi in your town, lucky you! Aldi, recognized as the nation’s low-price grocery leader, is an international grocer in Europe and Australia, now taking the US by storm. We don’t …
Bertolli Meal Soups – Making a Weeknight Meal Special
It’s winter, and that means one thing in my kitchen. SOUP! I’m mad for soup, and so is my family. I usually make a few soups over the weekend that I serve during the week. It just makes it easier to keep it all together during the days I am work. There’s usually a french onion …
Did somebody say CAKE?!?
Every year, I swear I’m going to break out the Duncan Hines and bake some sort of a really great cake for the kids’ birthdays. And every year, I find myself back at the bakery. Sometimes I order in advance, because I was planning and organized! That’s how IT Boy’s cake came to be… I …
Cooking with the IT Girl
It’s hot outside. And while I for one just can’t get enough of pictures of car thermometers on Facebook and news reporters trying to cook eggs on the sidewalk, I have other priorities. Feeding the family, for one. Because nobody is happy if they haven’t eaten. Last night, I surprised Mr. IT with burgers to …
Keeping IT Together – Meal Planning
I have a lot of friends, Facebook and otherwise, say things to me like “you are simply amazing how you manage to do everything you do”, “how do you manage to work full time and still do everything else”, and the truly dreaded, “I don’t know how you do it!” Truth is, I am far …
Frank Pepe's Yonkers Review
The opening of the newest Frank Pepe’s Pizzaria in Yonkers has been a most eagerly-awaited event in the IT household. You see, we’re pizza geeks. Can’t get enough of the stuff, carbs, South Beach and Atkins be damned. We love a lot of kinds of pizza, where it’s Chicago style, NY style, thin crust, thick….the only …
IT Girl's "World Famous" Pancakes
Most everyone who follows my Twitter feed has noticed me on a Saturday or Sunday talking about making pancakes for the family. It’s a weekend tradition that won’t seem to die. And that’s a good thing. Seeing Al’s adventures in pancake making had me chuckling a bit. I used to make Bisquick pancakes until I started …
Marketers – We're not just about our next meal
I recently attended the New Marketing Summit in Foxboro Massachusetts. I have a more detailed post brewing about what I loved, liked and didn’t like about the conference (hint, it is almost all positive), but I had to talk immediately about one thing. The food. I always joke about marketers and food. It’s our currency. It’s …
Words of vacation wisdom
The IT family has returned from spring break. We visited my dad and stepmother in Texas, spending time in both Houston and San Antonio. While it seemed at times like the entire vacation was being spent in a mini-van, that wasn’t really the case. We hit Kemah, the Riverwalk in San Antonio, SeaWorld, and a …
Espresso Love
When I was growing up, it was a given in my house that Mother IT was never going to consider making a move in the morning until she had consumed her requisite 2 cups of coffee. I never understood her affection for the bean. Then and now, it’s taken black, no sugar. Bleck. Ask her and she will …
Super Bowling
I had the joy of dropping off Little IT at school this morning. She’s in an early morning program to help parents who work get to their jobs on time. It’s located in the school cafeteria, and they politely discourage you from dropping the kids off while sitting in your warm and cozy car. Instead, …
Toast Jam
My colleague J. has told me many times about his misfortunes on the toast line, and if I hadn’t seen it myself, I’d never have believed him. Let’s step back. I headed down to the company cafeteria for breakfast #2. Breakfast #1 was an Atkins shake that I grabbed out of my fridge at 4:30am when I …
Continuing my conversion to "haus-frau"
Because my scrapbooking addition will be taking up more of my time, how will I be able to cook dinner for my hungry family? Never fear, Let’s Dish is here. It’s a fun concept – grab a couple of friends, or head in yourself, and put together a bunch of meals to take home, freeze and …
Saturday Night's Not All Right For Ice Cream
I freely acknowledge a certain fact about my life, and that is that I don’t really get out much. This manifests itself in a lot of ways, but perhaps none more pathetic than when you hear that going to the supermarket on a Saturday evening is something I look forward to. Keep in mind that my …
Thanksgiving Day menu
Starters: cheese, crackers, olives, roasted red peppers, stuffed mushrooms (prepared, from Stew Leonards) First course: Squash Soup The main event: Molasses-brined turkey with gingersnap gravy- seriously delicious. I made it several years ago and it was out of this world. You may think the gravy sounds wacked, but it was 1. yummy and 2. easy, because you …
