But if you’re brave enough to give it a go, I know you’ll love how yummy and filling this hearty hamroll recipe is! This recipe is a …

Up until about six months ago, my daughter refused to eat chicken nuggets. She still only nibbles at French fries. She doesn’t do any breaded meat (aside from the above-noted nuggets) and won’t touch anything made of white potatoes. She also won’t eat burgers. And don’t even try to pass off buttered noodles as a …

This is one of those recipes where I feel silly even typing it out – it is that easy! But, since it is a super crowd pleaser and perfect for potlucks and picnics I just have to share! I remember the first time I had cornbread cake. It was at a church gathering and I …

My family has recently made the switch to be gluten free. I have been learning so much through this experience, and I wanted to share it all with you today, as I know many others who are in the process of cutting gluten from their diet! I’ll be honest – we didn’t initially set out …

There are a few lucky parents out there with children who love vegetables. I do not have those children; also, I was not one of those children. And it’s not just green things, generally, my kids are just adverse to anything in the veggie family. The good news is… children grow up, they get brave, …

My daughter attends a cooperative preschool where one of the co-oping parent’s jobs is to provide the class’s daily snack.

She was using it to …

At the beginning of this month, I decided to cut gluten from my daughter’s diet. She has a few signs of being gluten intolerant and I wanted to head off any long term issues by being proactive now. Problem is, she and I both have quite the sweet tooth, and, well, most delicious treats are …

The latest trend of edible flower cakes stirred up fond memories of living down the street from my ‘hippie’ Aunt Jan. She would encourage us to eat the dandelion weeds growing wild in the yard. I haven’t had dandelions since the age of about 9 when she moved away, but I still recall the sweet …

At one time or another, we all struggle with getting our toddlers to eat. Am I right?!? It seems like when my boys were in the delightful toddler stage, they could go for days on a hunger strike just because.  That is IF I let them, of course. I asked nicely. I pleaded. I begged for …

Almost 10 years ago when I was building my wedding registry I didn’t know about the Instant Pot. Truly, I hadn’t even heard of it. How I missed this brilliant piece of kitchen equipment, I’ll never know. But now that I DO know, I can’t wait to share about it with you! My favorite thing about the …

Chef Sawyer is back this week with a layered dessert he has been wanting to try for a while. He wanted to make a cookie bar that combined some of his favorite cookie (and candy!) flavors and I think we hit a homerun with this one. These Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Cookies are super …
