We took a little trip to my beloved Philly this past weekend. Oh, how that city makes my heart sing. And N. Philly makes N sing. And dance with umbrellas. Even with the miserable rainy/snowy/haily/sleety/slushy/gucky/whycan’twinterjustbeOVER weather we had (resulting in … Read More
We don’t do a ton of pasta around these parts, mostly because I hate cooking lunch so we generally like to have enough for leftovers for the 3 of us, and a pound of pasta doesn’t usually cut it. But … Read More
As part of the Pinterest Challenge, I wanted to make this beet salad. What really caught my fancy, though, was the pairing of beets and goat cheese. For some reason, I really wanted to add “clementimes” to it, and it … Read More

Yesterday, we had a little Easter egg hunt with our playgroup. Aside from needing to have the egg hunt indoors since it was freezing and windy and BAH willwinterneverleave, it was adorable watching all the kiddies run around finding eggs.
Of course, because I am the queen of procrastination, I remember late last night that I had to take some pre-filled eggs. We don’t generally keep candy around, and I didn’t think to use some of the millions of stickers we have on hand. I considered sticking some clementines inside, but a whole one wouldn’t fit and I thought they might dry out if I pre-peeled them.
So I was searching the cupboards for something to stick in, and spotted some marshmallows. Since we have a wood-burning fireplace (LOVE), we tend to keep those, grahams, and chocolate on hand (exclusively for s’mores, and never for any mid-afternoon slump purposes, of course).
The purpose of this extraordinarily long explanation is that I put a ‘mallow, a graham, and some chocolate chips together and called it a s’m’egg and called it a night. Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but the kids liked it and I didn’t have to make a run to the store. Can’t ask for much more, right?
