For the last year, I've been trying to find a lot of ways to be more meatless. While I am not completely meatless, a good portion of my meals are.

My family loves breaded fish -- since I prefer to make most things in my air fryer, it was a natural move to start air frying it. But, while I was able to master breaded chicken, I had issues with air frying breaded flounder and other fish. It just seems to fall apart. I prefer air frying to ...
My father passed away this week. Avery Stephen Johnson always had a story, was brilliant and could also argue for days.

We dropped my son at diabetes camp recently and while I've been to sleepaway camp for years and my daughter has also been at that sleepaway camp, diabetes camp is slightly different. It's still a sleepaway camp but it's a great place for children who have Type 1 Diabetes to go and still have that ...
If you love Israel or Middle Eastern food, chances are you're already a fan of Za'atar (you might spell it Zaatar) - which is a spice blend containing toasted sesame seeds, thyme, marjoram, coriander, oregano. Last week I picked up Trader Joe's Za'atar Seasoning Blend and loved it. I had some ...

Updated January 2022. There are some pictures from our visit in December of 2019 and you wouldn't see anyone masked or distancing in those photos. After a really long fall and as winter started, I wanted to take a breather with my daughter and celebrate her 14th birthday. We were up at my ...
Recently my sister-in-law made this super amazing quinoa salad. I'm the first to admit that I'm not a fan of the superfood, but the way that L made it was absolutely wonderful. As in everyone enjoyed it, even my picky eaters. Why? Because it had cucumbers, feta, and tomatoes in it - and served cold, ...

I love going to museums but it's not always easy getting my kids to walk from room to room to look at paintings for hours on end and not start to whine after 30 minutes. I still want them to be familiar with art and know about artists' lives and how their lives can influence their paintings. "Beyond ...
