Lean Cuisine 6-Packs Now at Sam's Club

In the weeks before she returned to college this fall, A1 became a huge fan of running.  She studied running online, talking sport with serious runners, and ran everyday.  She also talked about training to run a marathon.

That got me to thinking.  I’ve participated in a number of charitable “walks” over the years, but I’ve never participated in anything more serious than a fun-run.  In fact, looking back, I actually can’t recall doing much  real running.  I love a brisk walk – even jogging – but running just wasn’t anything anyone in my circle of friends did for fitness.

Official new Lincoln movie trailer!

Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln in the #LincolnMovie Trailer

The trailer for the DreamWorks Pictures/Twentieth Century Fox Lincoln movie is now available!  I was really excited to watch it and I can tell it’s going to be an excellent movie.  Even in the trailer you can feel the weight of the decisions that were pressing on Lincoln’s shoulders.  I have a feeling I’m going to need a packet of tissues while watching.

Follow Lincoln on Facebook and Twitter so you don’t miss any upcoming announcements!

We are no strangers to the Kraft Dressing aisle in the grocery store.  My husband tops his salad exclusively with Thousand Island dressing so every few trips I’m adding a bottle to our cart (sometimes I even surprise him with the Thousand Island with Bacon variety).  Growing up my Mom always had at least one open bottle of Catalina in the fridge at all times.  It definitely rubbed off on me as Catalina is the dressing I reach for most often.

Kraft Dressing is #AnythingDresssing: Horseradish Dip Recipe

A few weeks ago I noticed that Kraft had updated their labeling to read “Anything Dressing”.  At first I was a little confused by the change but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.  We already had been using the Kraft dressings for more than just our salads.  We’ve used the honey mustard dressing as dip for chicken nuggets, many of the ranch dressings to dip our veggies, Italian dressing in pasta salads, just to name a few.

Looking for a great new cookbook?

After a summer of unusually high temperatures – we’re talking multiple weeks of 100+ degree weather – the recent signs of fall have been a welcome treat.  We’ve even put on a hoodie a time or three over the past few days.  It’s also nice to be able to play outside more with Bubbles and not worry about melting.

Growing up in Maine, fall meant harvest.  It was hard work, and by dinnertime we were definitely hungry!  Casseroles always hit the spot as they were filling and warmed you up.  Now fall is a time for football, trips to the zoo, picking apples and pumpkins, and watching the leaves change color.  Much less stressful activities but casseroles still fit the bill for each of them.

Disney*Pixar's Monsters, Inc 3D Hits Theaters on December 19, 2012

Monsters, Inc. has always been one of my favorite Disney•Pixar movies, so I’m very excited that they’re returning it to theaters starting December 19th.  And this time it’s in 3D!  I love that Disney has been pulling recent favorites out of the storage closet and bringing them back to the big screen.  It’s nice to be able to share them with the next generation!
