Sugar Savvy

First, a disclaimer. I am picky about my sweets. Much to my mother’s dismay, I did not inherit her sweet tooth. While I do like sweets, because I eat so few of them, I’m just a little more particular about which ones, you know? I don’t just have chocolate for the sake of having chocolate. […]

For me, a grab-and-go breakfast is ideal since the mornings are a little hectic.  Between getting my first grader out the door in time for car pool, and the baby up, changed and fed, and then me to work, it’s all I can do to grab a bite to eat.  Since we all know that […]

Even though the summer months are a distant memory, frozen treats needn’t be.  If you ask my six-year-old son, popsicles and ice cream are for year ’round indulgence.  Unfortunately, that kind of thinking, unless you’re a very active first grader, can get you into trouble.  Unless you read on.  In a recent issue of Family […]

When I spied the carton in the freezer section of the grocery store, I quickly looked away.  I didn’t want to be tempted.  But for whatever reason, I grabbed it and put it into my cart anyway.  I wanted to hate it.  I really did.  And I was sure I would even before tasting it.  […]

If it wasn’t for a recent article in CNN, I’m not sure I ever would have thought to connect vanishing US bee colonies with having fewer ice cream flavors and higher prices, but believe it.  The folks at Haagen-Dazs say it’s so. 
For some reason, bee colonies are fast disappearing, and it’s got ice cream makers […]
