What you are about to see may hurt you a little. You may feel betrayed. You may wonder how I could possibly let this happen. I DIDN’T KNOW, OKAY? I DIDN’T KNOW. It was the last time my family went to Walt Disney World, 1998. I was a mere twelve years of age. Disney’s Animal Kingdom had yet to...

This cheater’s recipe is also a cheaper recipe. Basically I want to talk to you about frozen fruit. I know this is terrible sacrilege but I… don’t really like a lot of raw fruit. Apples? Bake them in a pie and come back to me. Pears? A little better but I’m still not super into it. Bananas? Talk to...

My ballet teacher recently purchased a CD of piano arrangements of Disney songs that we sometimes use for class. It’s such a new recording that it includes a rendition of Frozen‘s “Let It Go.” My teacher tells me that whenever she plays this in her kindergarten-age pre-ballet class, they ALL immediately begin singing the lyrics and complain when she...

Addendum: UNLESS YOU ARE DEAD. Last week we had a good, solid summer storm, during which I managed to fit in a good, solid Target run because I was already out post-ballet class anyway and what’s a little rain? That is today’s question: what’s a little rain? Or rather, a BIG rain, because while rain is no big deal...

Hey, remember that time I helped my boss plan her Walt Disney World vacation? And she invented WWJGD? Well, she’s tragically not my boss anymore, but I did have breakfast with her last week and she brought me back a present from the trip! How awesome is this travel mug? I love the Mary Blair-esque design. I don’t generally...

For this cheater’s recipe, you don’t even have to use a microwave. In fact, in the spirit of my IKEA assembly instruction foods, I’m essentially going to tell you: make a caprese sandwich. Only a little better. With More Veggies, you can feel More Healthy, plus More Fueled with carbs from the bread and protein from the cheese. You...

Walt Disney World is the place where dreams come true, and this goes for all things culinary. Wish fulfillment: giant cupcakes, cuisines from all around the world, rivers of plastic cheese. And yet there is one thing it simply does not offer. I’m talkin’ ’bout brinner. Seriously, think about it. What breakfast items will WDW sell you past 11AM?...

Something weird happened while I was on vacation last weekend. I ate whatever I wanted – and I felt better for it. And “whatever I wanted” isn’t code for “I ate whatever kind of salad I wanted” – I really ate whatever the house was preparing that day. That included hot dogs and french toast and arroz con pollo...

As I mentioned yesterday, I spent the Memorial Day weekend in Dewey Beach, DE. View from our porch. I wasn’t mad. And for once, I actually DID get in the run I said I’d make time for during vacation! Surprise! If you’ve ever been to Dewey, you know it’s pretty darned crowded. When I first stepped out, I was...
