Welcome to My So-Called (Mommy) Life. For many years I had dreamed of writing a food blog; a place where I could share my favorite recipes and and my thoughts on local restaurants. Three years ago I became the mama to a feisty, voracious baby girl, and my life has been a beautiful chaos every since. This year I welcomed a sweet, smiling baby boy to my brood, and life has gotten even more colorful! Like my life, the blog's concept has evolved into something bigger, messier, and better. It's a mix of recipes, toddler food, restaurant reviews, and more. Hopefully this Table of Contents will help you navigate the chaos that is My (So-Called) Mommy Life.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
My dad loved cookies as much as I do, and that's really REALLY saying something. However, unlike me, his favorite were Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. This was the recipe my mom would always make for him!
Peking Roast
This is a recipe my mom use to make when I was little. I haven't actually made it yet as an adult, but it's on my to-do list. I'll update this post with more specific measurements and directions once I finally make it!
Fresh No-Cook Tomato Sauce
This recipe is from my fabulous sister-in-law's father, Tom. He was kind enough to share his recipe with me and it's one of my favorite summer meals. I should note that he recommended that this recipe not be served with any cheese topping, as he feels it detracts from the beautiful simplicity and flavors of the core ingredients. That being said, I bastardized it with my American taste buds and serve it topped with fresh mozzarella. Shhhhhh... If you want to keep it legit, Tom recommends not doing any cheese, and instead serve it with a side of melon and crusty bread.

Veggie and Turkey Egg Casserole
This is a recipe that I like to make to make to have for lunches during my work week. It makes 10 - 12 servings, so I cut it into servings and freeze it, and then thaw a serving for lunch when I need a quick lunch.
