As a mother, chef, business owner and author of "10-minute meals", I have something to say. I feel like I've lived several lives though I'm a young 41-year-old. A checkered past is an understatement when describing my experiences. To say the least, I've gained some insight along the way. I crawled out of an abusive relationship with a famous song writer. I started a catering business, opened a small cafe and wrote a cookbook. ultimatebreadpudding.com 10-minutemeals.com

I can't say I haven't wished for a pill to calm myself at some point during my lifetime. However, it's not a secret that America is over medicated. It's a money thing. But the cost just went up. N...

I really love period movies. I think you should rent this one.
The first major laundry innovation came along in the mid 1800s--the washboard. No longer did women have to travail in the river, slamming clothes against rocks. Now they could squat over a large w...
I just watched the movie with my husband. Not only was it entertaining for my husband, I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast through most of the movie. I absolutely loved this movie. Awe...
