Over the weekend, my Mom celebrated her 80th (!!) birthday! It’s such an achievement! At this age, she seems to have everything she wants and needs, so all she asked for was a chocolate and coffee flavored cake with vanilla ice cream. She just loves these flavors together, so that’s what we knew we had […]
Did you know blueberries are little tiny super fruits? They’re low calorie, and high in antioxidants. They can help the inside of your body (like your bones and digestion) and the outside (your skin)! They’re pretty amazing fruits for being so tiny. I guess good things really do come in small packages. Today, I decided […]
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been making these sweet & sour meatballs. My mom showed me how to make these when I was very young and I loved rolling the meat into little balls. It was like playdoh, but messier! They make a lot because they’re supposed to be mini meatballs, appetizer […]
Tonight’s kid friendly, parent-approved dinner is super simple and uses only a handful of ingredients. It’s also super flexible – use fresh or boxed pasta. Use bacon or turkey bacon. So simple, so easy! This is also one of those dishes that my kids absolutely love! I’ve been making it since they first started to […]
It’s summer break and while we’ve been traveling and the girls have been in and out of camp, we have also been relaxing a ton in between. My way of relaxing is baking and it seems the girls have picked up on that as well. It can be anything from sweet to savory but this […]
Yesterday, I went to the farmers market and picked up some super yummy yellow gold small, round potatoes. These have a very thin skin and a buttery taste. They taste absolutely AMAZING roasted, so I knew that’s what I wanted to do with them tonight. But, for a slight twist, I decided to smash them […]
It’s Sunday morning and we’re making breakfast. The kids are begging for something new and colorful. So, we grabbed the box of Fruity Pebbles cereal we were making an arts and crafts project with, mixed a cup into our go-to pancake batter (minus the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon) and had a really fun Sunday breakfast […]
When I was a little girl, my mom and I used to scoop out the insides of pumpkins for Halloween, carve our pumpkins and roast the seeds to snack on. It was a yearly tradition that I loved. Messy, but delicious! I would roast them with sweet seasonings for a sweet snack but this year, […]
Happy birthday to our sweet Matilda! This past weekend, she turned 4!!! She wanted a full on Wild Kratts themed party at home so we had some animal-tastic fun, especially with the food. We served ‘snake sandwiches (aka rainbow bagels)’, Wild Kratts themed cupcakes and this friendly lion snack dip. It was super healthy and […]
Halloween is here and it’s a time for all things spooky and all things pumpkin! I just love doing food for any holiday – the girls absolutely love it! And obviously Halloween is the best Holiday, obviously. 🙂 The food for it is festive and fun and the girls just get the biggest kick out […]
