After reading Vicky’s post the other day about the Best Bread it got me thinking about other dishes that have bread as the main ingredient. What other than French Toast? Kids love to dip anything but what is commercially prepared is never a good option. Here is an easy recipe that you can make today [...]
I always have an abundance of oats in our house. I use oats for oatmeal, baking, and smoothies, but I have never tried making our own granola. Last week we were at Whole Foods and they were sampling Ruby’s Gold Golden Granola. I wasn’t sure what the girl’s would think of it since we don’t [...]
The other day I posted about how great blueberries are and how much I LOVE them! Well, here is a recipe highlighting these little beauties and it is Gluten and Dairy free to boot! I am using my Gluten Free flour blend and the results are just as good as with regular flour. My kids and [...]

Another one of my favorite things, I can make it in the bowl or cup I’ll be using to eat. No need for pots, stovetops, or microwaves. I just [...]
My four year old, Stella, came home from school a couple weeks ago talking about Strawberry Shortcake. Which of you do I have to blame for this new obsession? :) Now we have a couple Strawberry Shortcake books, a Strawberry Shortcake movie, and coloring book. It also gave me some inspiration for a new recipe! [...]
This recipe is an age-old family tradition and is perfect for little fingers, ah well big fingers too! Since St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend I thought that I would rename the bread affectionately know in our house as Monkey Bread.
