Worlds Best Marinara Sauce!
You know some nights you just crave pasta?! Well, last night was one of those nights and we went on a search to try out a new marinara sauce. We had picked up some yummy homemade meatballs at our local Italian deli (I highly advise to do this to cut down on time in the kitchen) and found a delicious recipe on All Recipes. We always like to add our own spin on recipes – you know add more garlic or olive oil. But this recipe is pretty right on so we followed it minus the white wine. The whole family really liked it – even our daughter whose…

5 New Year’s Resolutions I’m Making for My Kids
Image courtesy of Flickr The last few months I’ve been consumed by work as the contributing author for a Los Angeles relocation guide. Chunks of time throughout the day and night have been spent writing a book, driving around Los Angeles taking photos of neighborhoods, and updating contact information and weblinks.
