Thursday, January 7, 2016 by Lolli 7 Comments

Layered Strawberry Jello Salad from Food Fun Family

There’s a funny story about this layered strawberry jello salad with banana and pineapple… When I was growing up, this strawberry jello was at every family gathering that I can remember. Christmas with the aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grandma and Grandpa? Strawberry jello. Easter dinner? Grandma brought the strawberry jello there, too. It was a…

Sunday, November 22, 2015 by Lolli 4 Comments

One of my favorite traditions over the years has been spending the month of December reading Christmas books with the family. We have gathered a huge collection of Christmas stories over the years (two boxes full!). I am quick to grab any Christmas books that I see at used books stores or thrift stores (I’ve…

Make-Ahead Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes Recipe from Better in Bulk 2

  Thanksgiving simply wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a big batch of mashed potatoes. And these mashed potatoes were the best mashed potatoes I have ever made (rivaling the best restaurant mashed potatoes, if I do say so myself). Note: affiliate links used within this post. I was so pleased with how well these glorious garlic…

Our Last Double Digits Birthday #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Thursday, May 21, 2015 by Lolli Leave a Comment

  Monday was quite a milestone birthday in our family. My youngest – my baby boy – turned 10. A double digits birthday. That means that all of us are double digits (and by default, I guess that makes us old!). AJ has never been much of a fan of traditional toys…so when he made…

Sponsored Video: The Flavors of Home

Wednesday, March 25, 2015 by Lolli Leave a Comment

  This post is sponsored by Knorr but all thoughts and personal stories are my own. As the mother of a daughter who’s living 3000 miles away for school, this video struck a chord with me. I know that we miss her presence at the dinner table, at family activities, and just lounging around the…

Childhood Christmas

  One of the Christmas memories from my childhood that shines the brightest, despite the years since I’ve experienced it, is the yearly drive on Christmas Eve from my grandparents’ house in San Leandro to my home in San Jose. Every Christmas Eve, we gathered the baked goodies for our big family dinner, the wrapped…

Christmas Tree 2014 #PSF

Thursday, December 18, 2014 by Lolli 4 Comments

Christmas tree 2014

  I’d love to say that we waited to buy and decorate our Christmas tree until this past weekend because we couldn’t imagine decorating for Christmas without the whole family together. As it turned out, the fact that we bought our tree this past Saturday and decorated it that night, shortly after our college-aged daughter…
