When The Motherhood asked me to join with other Raleigh bloggers to create a Labor Day holiday grill … [Read more...] about Lawry’s, It’s what’s for dinner.

Sneaking Veggies is Bad News

Ilinap · July 18, 2011 ·

Apparently "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has made its way into the bellies of our children and the coffers of our food making behemoths. It's become de rigueur to hide vegetables in kids' meals.

Breakfast: It’s What’s for Dinner

Ilinap · April 26, 2011 ·

I often get into a breakfast rut, but oddly enough I resort to breakfast when I'm in a dinner rut. Makes perfect sense, right? I got some pretty good tips and tricks while participating in the Kellogg chat on The Motherhood last week. Did you know that breakfast should provide … [Read more...] about Breakfast: It’s What’s for Dinner

Ilinap · April 25, 2011 ·

Don't let those hard boiled eggs go to waste! And don't resort to the boring ol' salt and pepper to use them up. I have some tastier options over on Yahoo! Shine. Check it out here. … [Read more...] about Tasty Ways to Use Up Easter Eggs

Talking Morning Nutrition with Kellogg

Ilinap · April 19, 2011 ·

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. It's no cliche. I wake up starving and might revert to stashing a box of crackers in my nightstand to nosh in the middle of the night like I did when I was pregnant.
