Brisket with Carrots & Onions

Thank God it’s Friday! Seriously.  It’s been one of those weeks.  Husband has been gone, too many activities, birthday parties, school programs, blah…blah…blah.  So tonight we are going to kick back, chill out, and reconnect as a family.  I probably just jinxed myself. Today is still piled high with playdates, kids out of school, workout, etc.  So I’m going to…

risotto per le mie figlie {Risotto for my daughters}

A couple nights ago at dinner, I told the kids I was going to start writing my blog again. (I still can’t figure out how to import the old one over here, be patient with me.)  Sister One pipped up quickly, “Oh mommy the one where you write about what you cook?”  Sister One appreciates a good meal.  I told…
