How to Make Bread, As Taught by Weimaraners
If you do nothing else today, be sure to take one minute and fifty-four seconds to watch this ‘modern-day’ Sesame Street video clip. Shot somewhere around the mid to late 90s, it features two Weimaraners baking homemade loaves of bread, and it’s gone… wait for it!… straight to the dogs.
When Your Nethers Itch: A Cautionary Tale Involving Chicken Nuggets
I have totally failed in the serving the family dinner department lately. Not that we’ve ever lived a sort of traditional family life (meaning my big strong husband goes to work while I stay home and roll socks into balls). No. It’s always been like an accidental phenomenon if I prepared a meal and served [...]
Special Delivery!
A friend of mine baked me a cake to celebrate the birth of my first child, our baby girl. It was a beautifully decorated cake, almost too good to eat… but eat it we did, and dang, was it good. I was quite touched by my friend’s gesture. Each person who came to visit crossed [...]
Food Revolution Friday: Itsa Pizza Edition!
Why yes, you can do Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution even if you are an inveterate slacker parent who doesn’t know baking soda from baking powder (baking soda is what you drink while you’re making cookies, right?) Because if I can, anyone can. What We Are Having For Dinner Tonight, Lo This Food Revolution Friday: Pizza! [...]
Food Revolution Friday: Squash It Up Edition!
I think that Jamie Oliver has been pushing the eggs today for his Food Revolution meal suggestions, which is fine, because there is no easier meal in the world than a cheesy omelette (salad and baguette on the side), but I’m not in the mood for eggs, and also my daughter will only eat eggs [...]
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Cupcakes Anyone?

Hurley + Cupcakes = AWESOME
In case you needed more reasons to love Jorge “Hurley From Lost” Garcia – which, face it, you don’t – here’s a pretty damn good one: his tutorial in the best way to eat cupcakes. (Emilia watched as I scrolled down the page through the photos of the cupcake and hollered, “THAT’S THE BESTEST CUPCAKE [...]
This Bad Mom Wins For Mad Bad Baking Skills
Birthday cakes: sometimes they are the best part of the celebration and at the very least are guaranteed to draw oohs and aahs. Or – if the birthday girl or boy is really lucky – maybe a moan of ‘braaaaaaaiiiiiins‘. When a little girl asked her mom for a zombie cake on her eighth birthday, her [...]
Rachael Ray Could Never Be This Cute
There is a strong possibility that the children of The Bad Moms may have created, produced, and marketed the following cooking show. The banjo music seems their style. Also, the hostess Zaylee Jean could be a friend that we just haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet. At just over a minute into the video [...]
Babies Want Bacon, Now With More Scientific Research.
A recent study in baby development explains, I think, my entirely unscientifically proven assertion that Canadian babies are in fact more intelligent than the average bear. According to science – SCIENCE, people – a chemical that is found in eggs and pork products might help in the development of a baby’s growing brain.
