Once a week, to give the girls a break from cereal and yogurt for breakfast, and I make them muffins. Yet, our days are busy, so I need a quick and easy recipe that won't take up too much time. One of their favorites is this Easy Banana Muffins recipe that I make for them. Funny how something simple like changing up the morning routine and serving muffins {fresh or made the night before}, really makes them … [Read more...]
My kids have their favorite foods and unless I try something creative and tasty, they won't touch any 'new' ones. So, when I was faced with trying to get kids to eat a different array of vegetables last year, I had to take a whole new approach. This Lemon Pepper Asparagus recipe was given to me from a friend, apparently her kids gobbled it up like candy. This interested me since asparagus was one food which … [Read more...]
With the chaos that is most mornings in our house, 'family breakfast' is a time when just the kids are seen eating while I sip coffee and gather lunches, agendas and lists to start the day. I admit to having a terrible habit of skipping breakfast, with the exception of our traditional weekend brunch when we all sit together and have a great meal. Inarguably so, this time is precious.

While I love them, I don't make cinnamon buns {from scratch} very often. They don't take a lot of time to make, yet I seem to have very little time for baking these days, so bring on the easy recipes! A great example of 'wow, that was so simple' is Cinnamon Bun Cake, a recipe given to me by a Mom in my daughters' class. All the same delicious Cinnamon Bun taste, yet instead with a 'mix and bake' recipe. I just … [Read more...]
As years pass, the kids get older and my schedule fills and fills until it could burst, it's no wonder that I rely on shortcuts in the kitchen. All year long I cherish those meals and recipes with only a few ingredients, and love baking when it can be done in no time flat. This is especially true during the holidays, since added to my schedule is concerts, carolling, shopping, wrapping, entertaining and so … [Read more...]
This is where I share Shopping Tricks, listen up! I have to admit guilt of making far too many trips to the store. Milk is a hot commodity in this house, and I always forget something on the list. One product I use often, buy the least, yet never run out of - is bread. We go through the stuff like you wouldn't believe, yet I have mastered a trick to always have the good stuff on hand, with less trips to the … [Read more...]
