Back in November, I shared a great how-to on how to make a cheese board. It was so popular, that I decided to make another one, but with fruit and veggies this time. Since we eat with out eyes first, I wanted this board to scream Springtime, so I decided a rainbow of colors would […]
Muffins have been saving me recently because they are one food that everyone in the family will eat – a 10 month old, a 3 year old and 2 very tired parents. They are super healthy being sweetened only with fruit and have a healthy serving of carrots in each muffin making them the perfect […]
Every Friday when the weekend is nearly here, I’m usually cooked out from making every meal all week long. So, I try to make a quick soup or a fast dinner. Today, everyone wants burgers for dinner instead of my flatbread, but since I already prepped it, I decided to just make it for myself. […]
Here’s a great basic, fool-proof muffin recipe I’ve been using for a while. All you do is dump the ingredients together in a bowl, carefully not over mixing, add any kind of fruit, nut, candy, etc… and bake. They come out perfectly every single time and they taste amazing. Yes, you can sift the dry […]
I bought too many strawberries last week and when I realized this morning they were about to go off, I decided to bake them into muffins. I’m so glad I did! This is a basic vanilla muffin recipe with a little extract twist and a sweet strawberry surprise. They aren’t the healthiest of muffins, but they […]
I was looking to make something small for Amelia’s lunchboxes this week for Valentine’s Day and thought it would be so cute to take Brach’s Conversation Hearts and use them in a new modern way… as chocolate pretzel hearts! When I was a kid, Brach’s Conversation Hearts were a huge part of Valentine’s Day. You’d […]
Amelia is just coming to the age where she understands and wants to participate in what makes holidays special. I love it because it means I get to teach her about the holidays and use food to inspire her to learn more. For Valentine’s day this year, she’s been learning what it means to make […]
Deb Perelman (AKA Smitten Kitchen) recently posted a recipe for these amazing looking black-bottom cupcakes. They’re old-school – chocolate cupcake swirled with cheesecake. They don’t have any frosting and honestly don’t need any because the cheesecake adds enough sweetness to these. Since Trevor was looking for a baking project to do over the weekend with […]
I wanted to find a great drop cookie recipe that I could mix anything I had on hand into for those days when Amelia wanted a cookie. I hate store-bought cookies because they are never as good as they look. And you miss out on the enchanting right-out-of-the-oven smell if you buy them premade. So […]
I started making veggie croquettes 2.5 years ago when Amelia began eating solids. It was an easy way of getting veggies and protein into her. She was old enough to know what the veggies were (and start refusing them) but not yet old enough to realize they were hidden inside. Now that Matilda is almost […]
