Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

I'm often saying that I made a new recipe and Colin gobbled it up. He is a good eater, which is great for his little growing person, and because I love to cook. He certainly has his favorites (salmon, smoothies, and don't get between him and a muffin), but he is willing to give most anything a try. That being said, he did not love these, and I cleaned a fair amount of spinach and artichoke off of the floor. Jon and I, on the other hand, enjoyed them quite a bit. More for us.

These were delicious as a vegetarian entree, but could also be made with little crimini mushrooms as an appetizer.

Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and ate all the cookies. I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but all the treats I've been eating for the past month have been making me feel a little sluggish. When I saw a one day "cleanse" I thought I'd give it a try. Loosely, it called for drinking hot lemon water first thing in the morning, a Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast, Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea and vegetables for lunch and dinner. My day went like this: First thing after my run: Hot Lemon water - This is a nice way to warm up. I do this all the time. Breakfast: Glowing Green Smoothie - I liked it a lot. Very refreshing and hydrating. Wished I hadn't baked donuts the night before as they were staring me down on the kitchen counter. Lunch: Spicy Mulligatawny Soup - I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant by "salad," but I went with it. Snack: Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea - Zingy and invigorat...

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

A few weeks ago we went into Boston for the day. After chasing little people up, down, and around the Children's Museum, watching Colin climb up three stories on a jungle gym and James' excitement at a room filled with golf balls, we went to Flour Bakery for lunch. I had the Roasted Sweet Potato sandwich, and it was amazing. I just checked the menu , and it looks like they don't offer it right now, but lucky for you I made a salad that's just as good. The original sandwich was roasted sweet potato, apple, walnut pesto, blue cheese and kale on wheat bread. I took some liberties, changed up some ingredients, and made it into a salad.

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann. Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos. But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks. I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself. Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help. See? See? But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia). My reaction was typical. This happens to other people.
