Since it has been a while between posts, I’ll announce that A) Scott had a work Christmas party today, and B) I have New Mom Brain. Two facts, one more fun than the other (I think the new baby is more fun, but I suppose there’s a case for free party food trumping late-night crying…

Weekend Food Edition: Taco Salad, Corn Puddin’, and Strawberry Granola Pancakes
You know what all of these summer fruits and veggies could really use? Some dairy and grain. Yum. No really. We had some family visiting this weekend, so I got to whip out my recipes again. There were some definite keepers in there, and I would hate to forget them in my sporadic blogging. I’ve…
