Healthy Baked Goods for School Lunches | New Moon Kitchen

Part of the back-to-school shopping in this house is stocking my fridge and pantry with healthy foods and snacks for my daughters’ school lunches.

Remember Jell-O Pudding Pops? | Enjoy This Recipe!

The summer weather sure makes our family reach for cool treats. When I was young, I loved Jell-O Pudding Pops, they were so creamy and delicious. Yet, for some reason they stopped making them. Do remember them? Does the commercial with Bill Cosby ring a bell? Ahh, what a flash from the past. Unfortunately, my kids have no idea when I talk about my favorite 80′s summer treat. “Pudding? In a Popsicle?” my daughter questions {yet the original Pudding Pops were actually made by Kraft, just so you know}. So, I had done some research on the net, seeking the [...]

Favorite Meals | BBQ

I have a confession… I just used the BBQ for the first time {by myself} a couple days ago. That’s right, pick your jaw up off the floor. For the first time, I grilled meat.

The reasons why I hadn’t ventured into the grilled world up until now? Well, we have a pretty old BBQ and it’s very finicky. The igniter ceased to work long ago, so a person has to manually [...]

Sometimes as a parent, we need to use our cleverest tactics in order to get kids to eat their food. Maybe your trick is to cut the food into fun shapes? Sounds great, but that doesn’t impress my kids at all. As a Mom, I have tried a different ways to entice my kids to eat their foods, but it always comes down to what is ON that food. I’m talking about sauces. When the Twins got to a very picky stage in their eating, I could not get a meat product into them, so I brought out a fun [...]

As much as I may grumble about doing housework, I do make it a point to have fun while doing it. Myself and the girls dance around and sing, making the tasks a lot more lively than they’d be otherwise – so why not dress the part as well? Thanks to Flirty Aprons and the FRN, I got to review an apron of my choice. There is such a diverse selection of stylish aprons at Flirty Aprons, and none made them think of the ones that Mom used to wear. I chose the ‘Sassy Black’ apron, since I have a [...]
