I am so excited because next quarter my son will be taking Home Ec in middle school. Hopefully he will learn some kitchen basics, because he avoids it like the plague at home. My daughter, on the other hand, is obsessed with cooking - reads cook books during breakfast, Tivo’s half the Food Network shows […]
While I was waiting in the dentist office a few weeks ago I was thumbing through Parents magazine and found a recipe I knew my kids would want to try - Apple Pockets.
Yesterday my 9 year old made these completely on her own to take to her Grandparents house for their anniversary. Needless to say, […]
I know we have at least one Halloween party on the calendar for October (maybe two) and I always panic at the last minute as to what to bring. This year I was proactive and went looking for ideas ahead of time. Now, I won’t make all of these recipes, but there were so many […]
We had a family birthday party today and I had offered to make an ice cream cake. When I started looking at recipes and seeing what was involved, I realized I didn’t have enough time - I had to come up with Plan B. Then it hit me!
I took a cookie sheet and covered […]
So far this summer we haven’t done too much - it’s like the reality of no school is just beginning to hit. Last week was spent playing with friends, but this week the natives are getting a bit restless!
My youngest daughter is doing a general arts and crafts day camp for kids her age.
My oldest […]
One of the biggest challenges of being the Mom of three busy kids, is getting everyone fed - healthy, quick, and something they like.
One of my favorite strategies is menu planning. Each Sunday night, I plan the menu for the week. I can make sure we get balanced meals, it saves on groceries, and keeps […]
Until last year my kids didn’t really mind buying their lunch at school. The cooks in the school prepared most of it right there and the menu was pretty varied. Ice cream was only served on Fridays and you had your choice of a popsicle or an ice cream cone.
Somehow, our county decided that they […]
My daughter has a Girl Scout Thinking Day event this afternoon. It was really supposed to be a few weeks ago, but hers was canceled due to snow. They are using an Australian theme and each girl has to bring cookies made from an Australian recipe. We chose Anzac Biscuits. They were easy to […]
When Britt was really little, she used to love to help me bake Christmas cookies, and then there came a time when she had better things to do and the job was left to me. Well, today, we baked about a zillion Christmas cookies and the house smells soooo good. And, it was a […]
When Britt was little, there was nothing that she liked more than to help me with the baking and with the holidays right around the corner, stocking up on glittery sugars will keep your tweens busy for hours.
Okay, so you might find yourself with a messy kitchen, but a kitchen can always be cleaned […]
