Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
I’m super excited to test out a new Thanksgiving dessert recipe this year. Since I don’t cook a single thing if I can help for the Thanksgiving meal, I try to pitch in by bringing a fun new dessert or two. This year, I am tying a poke cake! I spotted a similar one in one of those Tasty videos on Facebook and I decided
Out of all five humans living in this house, only one of us will eat a banana without force or trickery. Personally, they make me gag. It’s the texture, and the smell, and like, the taste. via GIPHY I can’t do it. All of the Dudes ate them as babies, but gradually, as they grew into real humans, they began to see the light and
**This delicious cereal recipe is sponsored by General Mills Cereal** Recently we had a Facebook discussion on DudeMom.com about feeding a family of 5. That struggle is so totally real, you guys. Especially when your family includes three super active, still growing Dudes. I have been working really hard this summer to develop more meaningful diets for them that will help them meet their athletic
Magic. That is what I need in my life. If I were to find a magical lamp filled with a wish granting genie I know just what I’d ask for –3 additional wishes, because duh, a date with Ryan Gosling, also duh, and the ability to wish for any meal anytime for the rest of my life and have it delivered. Because I hate cooking
It has been a lot of days since I did the whole cook-something-delicious-in-the-kitchen thing. I mean, don’t panic, I fed the children, regularly in fact, but it was like bake-a-frozen-lasagna-from-Costco-and-throw-some-frozen-Texas-toast-I-cut-the-freezer-burn-parts-off-on-the-side type of feeding. You know, the kind where no one starves but there are no joyful eating sounds and possibly some references to kids starving in Africa and such to spur the process forward. Basically,
This family consumes one to two full watermelons every week in the summer. And I’m not talking about those mini organic ones you get from like Whole Foods. I’m talking those big mama jamma’s from Costco. The ones I have to bend at the knee to get in my car from under the cart. Those. They are cheap and delicious and healthy (seriously, they have
The dinner dish my children refuse to eat. Only, really, I can’t care. I love, love, love kale. Just like I love, love, love roasted potatoes. And, in fairness, they like those things too. Just not together. Not touching. Kale on one side, potatoes on the other, that they’re cool with. But, mix it together, put one atop the other, and it’s too gross for
Dude 3 loves to bake. It is his favorite most favorite mom and me pastime. Regardless of the season or the time of day, he is happy to join me in the kitchen for some baking. And, I have to admit, I love it too, so we both win in the end. Today, you’re gonna win too! Because this past weekend, we decided to work
Don’t you love those titles? Usually they are just click bait –clever ways to get you to come to a website you have no business going to. But in this case, it fits. Because I actually made two. Long story long… I don’t know how to eat healthy on holidays. I go to my mama’s house, she makes all of the tasty, and I proceed
