Alright, alright.  I admit it.  For the first time in the history of lK, a recipe got the best of me.  I’m not going to talk about it *quite* yet, but hilarity did ensue, that’s for sure.  And I’m not talking about it yet, because when something doesn’t work for me, I’m the person that MAKES it work!  So I’ll get it-eventually.  And when I do, you’ll get a chuckle out of the story!  It hasn’t gotten the best of me yet- so stay tuned! Tonight, the kids and I went out and played in the garden,...

Before you go any further, you must watch this: So when I was a little girl, I remember clearly listening to this (Bill Cosby: Himself) on audio tape with my Grampa, Gram, Mom, and Aunt Valerie in the dining room.  I remember everyone sitting with cups of coffee chuckling.  Well, I made chocolate cake- and it’s good enough that you could totally serve it to your kids for breakfast, without your wife attacking you :) First, into a microwave safe dish (I used a wonderful ceramic bowl with a handle that I got at the Salvation Army for 50...

Once again, lK is having a giveaway!!  In celebration of my sweet, wonderful little boy Camron turning 7 today, I’m giving one lucky lK reader a gift that Camron picked out! What’s the booty today?  This ingenious little Chef’n Palm Zester!!!  It comes in handy when you want to make dishes like the Lemon Cheesecake-stuffed Strawberries, or my Hummus, Cranberry Lemon bars,  Lemon-Mint Fro-Yo, or Roasted Bosc Pears with Lemon-Raspberry Marscapone. This little gadget not only fits in the palm of your hand, but it holds all the...

lK to the rescue!! Remember when I made the Cherry Peach Poxiples?  Well I noticed something; Jasmine isn’t a big fan of regular fresh cherries, and Cam doesn’t exactly jump for joy when a peach is put in front of him.  They’ll eat them, but they aren’t the first pick. Well, throw them together in a frozen form, and they slurped those bad boys up like it was nobody’s business! I heard a friend of mine the other day complaining about never having once seen their child eat a vegetable, aside from ketchup or fries. ...

Alright, so I’m back from vacation and lK’s already in full-swing!  In case you didn’t notice under the lK Travels section, we did a TON in Maine.  My kids had such a BLAST, the weather was perfect, and we got to do everything we wanted to (and, of course, some unexpected stuff, too). We went to the Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor, Maine- a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME children’s museum that is just unbelievable.  Hands on, super, super kid-friendly (and adult-friendly, too!), and was an entire afternoon ordeal.  Kept them...
