How to Control Your Food Budget as Prices Increase
Food prices have been hit hard by inflation of late, with the worst increases in about 20 years. Meat, milk, bread, eggs, produce all cost more than they used to.

Those are the days I resort to chicken soup in a thermos. [...]

How Much Do Kids Prefer McDonald’s?
Apparently a lot. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s real food from McDonald’s or carrots put into a McDonald’s wrapper. They’re pretty significantly preferred, as a rule. I know my kids adore McDonald’s food. They don’t get it nearly as often as they’d like - once a month or so, unless we’re on vacation and eating [...]

Lunchtime Compromises
I have a little challenge at lunchtime - my daughter loathes peanut butter. Really and truly cannot stand it. She doesn’t like most nuts, in fact. So there goes a classic kids’ lunch. It doesn’t help that my son would gladly live on peanut butter. Today we came up with a compromise. She got a jelly sandwich, [...]
