Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe has been brought to you by my six year old, Wesley! Well, sort of. I made them. And taste tested them. (droooooool) And decided I had to share them with you all right away! Wes’ school has cinnamon rolls on Wednesdays, and he came home asking if we could make some this weekend. […]

Meatball Soup

The time has come. Time for my first cooking video! I’ve been into making staff spotlight videos for work lately and I thought I’d go ahead and try a cooking video with the kids. All in all, it was fun and I think it turned out great! It’s not taken from the point of view […]

Giant Bubbles

Hi! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted! We’re off for the summer now. This is our time to relax, get some things done that we’ve been piling onto the “to do” list, and do lots of fun activities! I have a goal, a “summer resolution,” if you will, to post once a week. […]

Homemade Granola

When my school has inservice days, we do a breakfast potluck. I usually bring fruit, but I knew others would bring fruit, and I wanted to do something different for a change.

Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

I have been making my own hot chocolate mix for about four years now. Originally, I just thought it would be fun to make it for us to have on cold winter nights, so put it in a huge canister and we enjoy it all winter long. But after a couple of years of making […]

Balsamic Glazed Carrots

As much as Tim and I love vegetables, there’s one that we really never cook just as a side dish.  Carrots.  We eat them raw and we use them in recipes, but we just don’t really eat cooked carrots.  Until now.  These are so delicious, I’ll definitely be adding them to our rotation.  The carrots […]

Homemade Granola Bars Redux

I think I’m kind of obsessed with this granola bar thing.  There are so many different ways to make them – I just can’t help myself!  This time I went back to the old standby of peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I also used coconut oil and added coconut.  Try to contain your excitement. […]
