Some of you may remember me from Lex Culinaria.
At least I hope so.
For those of you that don't: I used to cook fancy-schmancy meals, work as a lawyer and moonlight as a restaurant reviewer for CBC Radio in Edmonton.
Two babies in 18 months changed all that. Nowadays we mostly eat at home and those meals we do eat at home darn well better be ready in less than 20 minutes. Goodbye souffles, hello quick-boil gnocchi in pesto! When we don't eat at home, we're all about the local Whitespot! Although when Gramma Grace comes to visit the progeny every 2 or 3 months, Cakes and I try to venture out somewhere with a dress code. Sigh. If Gramma Grace would agree to move in, we'd be all set.
Despite my considerable experience cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, I am amazed, as a mother, to find that some days, I just can't think of what to feed my family and I get tired of serving the same stuff time and time again. I hope this blog will help both you and me do the best we can at this mommy gig by finding and sharing meal, craft and activity ideas.

Lynette! Of course we remember you. I'm sure that motherhood has more benefits then drawbacks, and when they get a bit older perhaps you will find time again for Lex Culinaria. In the meanwhile, enjoy your littlies, they are only young once :-)

Hooray! I think I can relate, Lynette. I now have a 13-month old, and another one on the way, so I am thrilled to have this similar perspective from one of my favorite food bloggers. Looking forward to some fresh inspiration!

We do still remember you from Lex Culinaria :)
I've just had a baby daughter myself (turns 5 months on Tuesday), so the time I can spend in the kitchen has been reduced drastically. I'll be keeping an eye on your recipe suggestions!!
