The front page of last Sunday’s Washington Post was alarming: The New Economics of Hunger. Suddenly, everyone is declaring, hunger is coming. I’m worried about single mothers. I’m worried about all of those folks out there who are just getting by. Higher food prices are going to push to many of us over the edge. […]
I picked up a copy of October’s issue of Eating Well. I couldn’t resist. With headlines like “28 Healthy in a Hurry Recipes” and “Delicious One-Skillet Suppers”, what’s not to love?
How about “Glorious Broccoli”? We all know the trick of sprinkling some grated cheese over hot broccoli, but don’t you want the recipe for […]
The King of Everything was turning into a sugar junkie. To my horror, I realized I was one of his dealers. He would throw sh*t fits when he didn’t get dessert–and to him, dessert meant something sweet. With refined sugar in it. And let me tell you, his Dessert Tremors were horrible to watch whenever […]
Breakfast in our house is a hurried affair — whatever healthy muffin we can grab, a candy juice, a peanut-butter and jelly English muffin sandwich. The King of Everything and I are greatly enamoured of breakfast, though, and will lounge around in our jammies all morning long on the weekend with an indolent breakfast of […]
If you’re like me, you have certain staples in your fridge, ready to go. Like pasta and brown rice.
This is a very tasty, quick, easy little dish that takes minutes in the microwave, and puts the taste back in tastebuds. Plus, it’s got a nice little pickmeup, thanks to the complex carbs and the iron […]
As you may have noticed, this single mother blog has mostly been about keeping it all together and making the most of what little time you have. It’s where my life is, at this moment. I thought I’d put together a list of what I’ve learned, in the hope that it helps.
I’ll get to the […]
I’m stealing someone’s low bandwidth, since I won’t get hooked up meself until the first of December; believe me, it’s been a long six weeks without decent Net access!
One of the not so charming things about where we live is who else lives in the house with us: there are Rodents of Undetermined Size prowling […]
When we moved back to the States, I made a few conscious decisions while running around in a panic of FOOD! CLOTHING! SHELTER! WORK! This newly single mother decided that the Earth was a place worth taking care of, and that she’d better start doing a better job of it.

I haven’t cooked a meal from scratch since we got here. Me, who used to cook for a living, used to own a catering company, used to spend sixteen hours on her feet chopping and stirring and concocting…
oh, well, there was that one day at my friend Kat’s where i made meatloaf and butternut squash […]
I have cooked exactly one meal since we’ve been living la vida nomadic homeless loca. I hate cooking in Other People’s Kitchens. I just don’t know where everything is, and when I’m in the middle of the process, I don’t want to have to stop and wonder where the measuring spoons are.
My kid and I […]
