Guiltless No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
Sometimes I mentally “write” a post when I’m suffering from insomnia. This is a pretty regular occurrance….which is, almost always, alcohol induced. When I lay off the wine I sleep like a rock….if a rock were to sleep. When I have more than half a glass of wine I write blog posts in my mind … Read more
Roasted Strawberry Pie Parfait
I love strawberry pie. Love it….like I could eat the entire thing myself. I have a great recipe for it but I rarely make it because….I’ll eat the entire thing myself. I try to only make it when I know we’re entertaining, this way I can’t eat the whole thing…I’m forced to share. This solves … Read more
The Cupcake Crawl – Iced by Betsy
A great idea in theory, I decided to force my kids to join me on a sunny Saturday for a Cupcake Crawl. I’m sure many of you are familiar with a pub crawl where you go from bar to bar to bar and sample their beverages….you walk, then stumble and then, finally, crawl to the … Read more
Cinnamon Vanilla Hazelnut Butter
We are a peanut butter loving family here at The Soapbox. It’s healthy and delicious and you can put it on just about everything. I remember eating countless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches growing up and never grew tired of them. As a parent, they’re so simple to throw together for a quick lunch for … Read more
Whole Grain Pancakes
I love when the UPS man stops at my house…it’s like Christmas. Even when I know something is coming and I actually ordered it myself, it’s always exciting when I hear him stop out front and plop a package outside my door. What I don’t like is when the UPS or Fedex truck stops in front … Read more
Wheat Berry Waldorf Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Years ago, I had a curried wheat berry salad for lunch which I picked up at a grab and go kiosk in an airport. I don’t remember the airport or the kiosk, which is odd for me….I associate every place I’ve been with a food I’ve eaten there. I think it may have been Chicago but I, … Read more
Strawberry and Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Pudding Pops
These are not Mr. Cosby’s pudding pops. Remember those? I used to sell them on the playground at recess in elementary school. I LOVED them! They were only a quarter and if you put your tongue on the side it would freeze to it. That’s probably why they were discontinued, ya think? A playground full … Read more
Photo An Hour
I “borrowed” this idea from one of my favorite blogs….who “swiped” it from one of her favorite blogs. It looked fun but was a little challenging and their lives look much more interesting than mine. I should start drinking bourbon. But whatever. Enjoy! 7:00 AM 8:00 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 PM 1:00 … Read more
“Cream of” Asparagus Soup
Sometimes I think getting older stinks. Now, don’t get me wrong….I love my life, I’m happier than ever and, since my mid-30′s, I’ve never felt more comfortable with who I am. But then, you know….everything in life has to balance out. Lately I’ve noticed some signs of aging….puffy eyes, wrinkles, a little less than firm … Read more
Committed and a Ham Asparagus and Goat Cheese Frittata
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday whether it was Passover, Easter or just a sunny Saturday. We celebrate Easter and I enjoyed spending the day with my very, large and loud family. We are all very opinionated people and it’s important that everyone in the room hear our opinions. There is a lot of talking over each … Read more
