Como muchas madres, trabajo tiempo completo, atiendo a mis dos hijos y por lo tanto tengo muy poco tiempo para cocinar. A pesar de todo sí cocino casi todas las tardes. ¿Mi secreto? Preparo y congelo salsas que me permiten preparar cena en 30 minutos. Una de mis salsas favoritas es el sofrito...

Cuando nació mi hijo en el 2003, no sabía como iba a trabajar, cuidar al bebé, y a la vez hacer ejercicio. Afortunadamente sobreviví el infierno de no dormir y cuidar a un bebé con cólicos -- ¡ja! ¡ja! ¡ja! – y sí estoy haciendo ejercicio seis días de la semana. Incluso bajé los 20 kilos que...

A new year is just that: new. It’s fresh and different and electric. It’s a time to dream, plan and get inspired. A time to finally kick off that new healthy habit, or maybe a time to end that not-so-great one. And it’s also a time to sweep away the clutter, from your inbox (don’t get me started)...

Both my husband and I work full-time and we have two small children in the home. My husband and 11-year-old son are vegetarians, which means I have to get creative with what I make for dinner. The meals must be quick due to our time crunch, and at the same time hearty enough for vegetarians and...

When my son was born in 2003, I had no idea how I was ever going to exercise, much less work and keep a roof over our heads while caring for an infant – and a colicky one at that! I am pleased to announce that I survived the hellish sleep-deprived year that was my son's first year of life – lol! –...

Like many of you out there, I work full-time, have small children, and am time-famished. Yet, I manage to cook dinner almost every evening. My secret? I prepare and freeze base sauces that allow me to churn out quick, nutritious, and hearty meals in 30 minutes or less. One of my go-to sauces is...

On a recent Sunday in my church, a nice lady tried to feed my 18-month-old a piece of chocolate. She wasn’t happy when I politely said "no." “Come on, why don’t you give him a treat? It’s just a leftover Halloween candy,” she said, turned to my child, “I’ll give you a treat when mommy is not around...
