Living The Dream in the Mad-Town
I love chili. I have tried lots of different recipes. Some of them are really easy, but lack flavor. Others have tons of flavor, but take too much time. After lots of experimenting and discovering a new “base” for the chili, I think I have a recipe that you and your family will enjoy. It’s [...]
I have a little secret that not too many people know about…I watch QVC. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s like the home shopping network. I was first introduced to it when my husband and I were browsing through the channels one night and Rachel Ray was on their most popular segment, “In the [...]
I LOVE butternut squash soup. One of my favorite restaurants in Madison, Bonfyre American Grille, has an amazing butternut squash soup topped with finely diced apples. I have to order it whenever I eat there and you should too! Since discovering this soup, I’ve been on a quest to duplicate it or at least make [...]
It could be the pregnancy or just the weather, but I have been craving comfort food like it was going out of style. I put together this soup this weekend with stuff in the freezer and just what I had laying around and it was wonderful! Perfect mix of comfort food but also a bit [...]
I hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing Memorial Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot weather in Madison…record temps! I love it. However, by the time summer starts, I’m already sad that it’s almost over since our summers are so fleeting. I need an attitude adjustment, I know. I make a conscious effort to cram [...]

In a recent attempt to add variety to our diet and improve our overall health, my husband and I decided to make a conscious effort to eat one vegetarian dinner and one fish dinner each week. Prior to this agreement, we did both of those types of dishes occasionally and always enjoyed them. It’s just [...]
I do a decent job of planning out my family’s dinners (at least I try!). When it comes to lunch, that’s a different story. My husband works from home so he usually claims the leftovers for lunch. And since I’m always late, that leaves me scrambling to find something healthy to bring for lunch. Since doing [...]
Let me preface this post by saying that I’m happily married and I love my husband and my married name (hello…Its French!). Despite that, I still like to take time every March to revert back to my roots, Michelle Sullivan, and fully celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Growing up, my grandparents threw rocking St Patty’s Day parties [...]
This week I heard for our babysitters just how much my son, the son that I can not get to eat anything other than peanut butter and jelly and gold fish, now eats spaghetti, chicken hot dogs, veggies, and fruit at the babysitters now that there is another little boy around his age there eating [...]
