Rocky Road

This weekend is Family Day weekend. I thought this recipe is perfect to make with your kids. The recipe is versatile and you can switch up your ingredients to things you like. For my recipe, I chose lucky charms (my son’s current favorite cereal), mini marshmallows, fruit gummies and biscuits that I had in my…

Taco Burgers

I’ve been looking for some fun ways to try new foods in the house. With a three year old, it often tough to get him to eat meat and veggies. I tried this fun version of a taco burger and it was a hit in this household! Add grated veggies like carrots and zucchini to…

Easy Mac and Cheese

One of my favorite dishes is mac and cheese and it tastes even better when you don’t have to cook it yourself. Just get your little minion to do it. (Well I did have to help boil the pasta) For this recipe you only need three ingredients (well the fourth is optional): pasta, plain yogurt…

Nasturtium Capers

If you grew nasturtiums in your garden this year, then you probably have some seeds. Instead of tossing them away or saving them for next year, make some capers. It is a great way to store them and adds a nice zesty bite to your dishes. You will need to start collecting them when before…

Stuffed Date Snacks for Toddlers and Adults

Dandelion Honey

These golden flowers are starting to pop up every where. Why not use them to make some tasty treats and get your kids to pick all the flowers before they turn to seeds and blow everywhere. Just make sure your pick them in a clean location. We picked enough to make a couple different recipes….

Snow Ice Cream

This is the second snow recipe that I have tried this year. I had to take advantage of all snow that we were having. If you haven’t tried my snow candy recipe, try one that too. This recipe is super easy and reminds me of shaved iced dessert. You will need really clean snow for…

Snow Candy

Let is snow! Let it SNOW! Last year it snowed and melted before I had a chance to try this recipe out. This year I finally did and it was fun and tasty. Snow is in the forecast again so hopefully you will be able to try this out . Make sure you have a…

Oreo Pudding Dessert

My son loves oreos and love to bake. We found this recipe that combines the two. Unfortunately he didn’t like this much. This is a simple recipe that combines oreo cookies and chocolate pudding. You can even make this simpler by making instant pudding instead. The first step is to prepare the pudding since you…

Smash Cake

We celebrated my son’s first birthday with a smash cake. Of course with anything I give him, I try to make it healthier by making at home. Here is a recipe that I tried out. Start by beating 4 egg whites (room temperature) with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and…
