Minted Watermelon Cooler with Lemon & Lime

by Leah Damron on May 24, 2011

Since the beginning of April and May’s Wellness focus, I have had such a THING for watermelon. It’s been so sweet and delicious this spring, I buy a huge wedge nearly every time I pop in to the Store. I’ve been dicing it into chunks and watching it disappear out of the fridge. Honestly, my kids have been acting like it’s a treat, and you really can’t do much better than a simple bowl of watermelon for a low calorie snack.

Pork Chops with Country Gravy & Mashed Potatoes

by Leah Damron on May 18, 2011

I’ll bet you’re thinking I fell off the Wellness Month wagon and jumped on the — GRAVY train. Har. I didn’t. Believe it or not, today’s recipes come from Cooking Light, so they still fit in perfectly with the whole Wellness thing we’ve got goin’ on.

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

by Leah Damron on May 3, 2011

We were out with our friends Fernanda and Jorge this past Saturday night. They moved their family from Mexico to Milwaukee for Jorge’s job a few years ago, and we’ve gotten to know them recently. I love their accents. I also love to pick Fernanda’s brain about food from her Motherland, so of course I had to ask her about her menu plans for Cinco de Mayo. And naturally – because I tend to get really excited about these things – I was expecting a full and colorful description of authentic dishes, recipes and family traditions — and instead she looked at me like I was loco.

Mexican Pizza

by Leah Damron on Jul 8, 2010

Before I begin today, I would just like to preface this post with a brief apology. While I consider myself to be somewhat of a foodie, and I try my best to maintain a modicum of culinary glamour (cough) in my daily life, today’s recipe is not in any way, shape or form haute cuisine, or dinner party fare. Just so we’re clear.

And I’m sorry. Because by now I know you surely must count on me for such gastronomic (ahem) elegance … don’t you?!

Sloppy Jose’s

by Leah Damron on Jun 2, 2010

Seven super-short school days to go before summer vacation begins, and the countdown is on! Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s a LOT to cram in before next Wednesday arrives?! We’ve gotta get our kids through field day, picnics and class trips; help ‘em wrap up last minute projects and study for final exams; attend music programs, graduations, dances, and carpool to a seemingly endless string of parties…the list goes on and on. You probably have a few fabulous functions of your own that I haven’t mentioned. Go ahead and pile ‘em on. We’re moms. We can deal.
