Quesadillas might be your answer to a picky kid. Every kid has their food quirks – I’ve been a mom for a short 10 months and I already know this to be true.  And just to complicate things, the quirks change without notice.  Sweet D ate all of her veggies without resistance until suddenly thanks …

Have you had morning muffins? In theory, Mother’s Day should be a day where mothers around the world get to kick back, relax and do nothing. Feet up, breakfast in bed and maybe even a bubble bath seems like a great way to be honored and adored but let’s face it, how many of us …

Have you ever heard of Broccoli and Cheddar Pancakes? As parents we are always on the search for easy and delicious ways to feed our kids. Life is busy, kids can be picky and there never seems to be enough recipes to keep those little bodies nourished. I spend a lot of my time developing …

Sweet D is 10 months old this week – she’s been eating solids for 4 months.  As you can imagine, being the foodie that I am, I was very excited about introducing her to the wide world of foods and flavors.  But it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.  Eventually she got …

It’s time for a tasty Strawberry Spinach Salad. Okay, I’m feeling really bad about throwing all those delicious desserts at you lately. Some of you are starting to think I must feed my kids cupcakes, cookies and cakes 3 meals a day. I assure you this is not true. 🙂 We do enjoy a tasty …

My peanut butter and chocolate obsession continues. Last time it was my Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls and this time it’s a brownie treat. A few weeks ago I decided to whip this concotion up. Who doesn’t love a peanut butter cookie crust, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup surrounded by moist brownie and a rich peanut …

I’ve been baking and posting a lot of dessert recipes lately. Oh, you’ve noticed! I’m guessing you saw the Ultimate Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Brownie Bar recipe, right? I think that EVERYONE has seen it. If you haven’t made it yet – you should! It’s deee-licious! Well, over the last few months of …

I was trying to think of something yummy to make for my family over Easter weekend because when we are all together it is the perfect opportunity to have an audience to ohhh and awww over my baked goods. Plus, it is more people to actually eat the desserts instead of my husband and I …

It’s easy to get into a lunchtime rut, especially when it comes to packing kids lunches and snacks for school. I have to admit, I’m not very good with the cutesy lunches. It’s not that I don’t think they are adorable, I’m just not very well versed in making things look precious or adorable (not …
