In June of 2008, our nephew and all around great kid Spencer Thompson completed his Eagle Project. His goal was to supply village schools in Ghana with new soccer equipment. When he told us what he was doing, we jumped at the opportunity to support his cause. With the support of his family, friends and troop, some help from Mariott School of Management MPA students and sponsorship from PieFection

We've posted a few articles or links regarding eating together as a family. Here is one more site that we like to go to every once in a while. Family Day is sponsored by CASA, The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. We heard about them a few years ago when their study made national headlines by pointing out that children who eat dinner with their families have

Here are a few cooking tips that you may be interested in using with your PieFection purchases. Feel free to add your own to this list!1. Microwave it! PieFection meals are frozen and some take a while to cook through. If you don't want to wait, you can take the frozen solid meal, remove the cover, turn it upside down and run hot water on the bottom of the pan. This will loosen the bond and you

Last year we posted an article on our website about the latest study from CASA, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. In that study, research showed teens in families that eat together 4-5 times a week are less likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. One part of the study points out that when a family eats together, it offers an informal and less threatening way

My first job was busboy for a famous soup restaurant in Minneapolis. Many of you who are from the Twin Cities know this incredible eatery - Eddington's. I worked during Christmas Break, 1982. My family had moved to Minnesota the year before, and I was still getting used to the bitter cold winters that make the mid western state famous. I would arrive early because I would go into the city with my

What is it about food? When we think of almost any special occasion in our lives, food will be a part of it.  Our earliest memories are often of helping our parents “cook.”  My kids still come running when they hear the mixer start up, certain that cookies or homemade bread are on the way! When challenging times come to the ones we love, we bring food.  Birth, death, illness, all seem to beg to

From the desktop of Mr. PieFectionist:Some of our favorite restaurants have been missing our entourage of late. They miss seeing us walk in the door: two crazed parents and five hungry children after a busy day working, doing homework, cleaning the bathrooms, running the errands, folding the laundry, attending the recitals, cheering on the sports stars, etc, etc, etc!  Our favorite eateries are
