Frozen Fun at Disney California Adventure!

Posted on January 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Mommy Stuff, Pop Culture | Tags: Disney California Adventure, Frozen Fun, Frozen Sing-Along | 12 Comments

My daughter's winter break is coming to an end & she will be going back to school later this week. I wanted to do something special so Saturday evening I said to her "Let's go see Frozen Fun at Disney California Adventure on Sunday!!" Naturally she was excited & I somehow managed to convince her to go to sleep early so that we could wake up early & get to Anaheim right when the parks opened. We got to Anaheim a little after 7:30am … [Read more...]

Ham & Cheese Breakfast Strata

Posted on December 30, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: egg casserole, ham & cheese strata, make-ahead breakfast dish | 4 Comments

At our home, breakfast on Christmas morning is always filled with excitement & joy. After checking our stockings by the fireplace, opening our presents that are under the tree & taking photos of our daughter, it’s usually a mad dash for me or my husband to make some pancakes, eggs & other assorted breakfast items. So this year I decided to change it up a bit & make an egg casserole dish ahead of time that can be popped into the … [Read more...]

Roso Balsamic Glaze

Posted on December 16, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: balsamic vinegar, Roso Balsamic Glaze, Uncle Steve's Italian Specialties | 2 Comments

I love a good cheese plate. While my husband & daughter can happily munch on sweets at a party or family gathering, you can always find me over by the cheese & crackers! During the holiday season, the easiest thing for me to bring to any get-together is an assortment of cheeses, meats (prosciutto, salami, etc.), olives, crackers & bread (cut into small "finger food" pieces). I'll even make a small plate for myself as an afternoon … [Read more...]
