Kids in the Kitchen?

But of course! So yes it's true....I've been touring the States. By touring I do mean visiting, celebrating and babysitting family in Madison, WI, Minneapolis, MN and now I'm officially in Tulsa, OK, where I'll be heading off for California once I gather the rest of my belongings, get my dog, Luke and sadly say my good-byes to friends and family here. Blogging has been a little difficult (to say the least), not to mention cooking. I've yet to post pix from my baking experience with my three-year-old nephew because the USB cord to upload the pix is in my room back in California. Yes, smart move, indeed.

Because we had such a great time baking his sugar cookies, I thought I'd look around Tulsa to see what cooking classes they offer for the youngens in this very quaint and cozy city. My sis, now a Tulsa local (but an "East-Los" native), pointed me to The Savory Chef. If I can convince my girlfriends to have dinner here tomorrow night rather than go out to eat, we shall. Otherwise, I thought I'd post their link so those of you in T-Town might have a chance to try your hand at some fun cooking classes: http://www.savorychef.com/

Too bad my niece isn't old enough--they have a cooking class for the 8 -11 year olds in December. Well, I won't be here anyways. If you do have kiddos, take a minute or two to check out local cooking classes for them...who knows, they could be the next Giada or Single Guy!

A Girl's Best Friend...

Trader Joe's! Next best thing to Diamonds--in my book, anyways. I have to say I was rather disappointed in how quick I fell off the wagon with my gun-ho approach to a new me at 40! Oddly enough, I woke up yesterday morning, took my friend's kids to school, and then off to Tom's #4 we went. For one, it is amazing to me how many Tom's there are. Are they all just one big chain? One thing they have in common--the yummiest, fattening foods one can ever find! You can smell the grease as you are exiting the ramp, readying to turn onto their street (which in this case would be Orangethorpe). I have to say though, I was encouraged as an ex emailed me after reading Sunday's blog forwarding me weight-loss tips via an email article entitled, "A Breakfast Favorite that Blasts Fat?" Wow, so it's come to this. Truly, the man is a gem and is as sincere as he is disciplined. He, in fact, has got to be one of the most disciplined people I know (especially when it come...
