United together to build strong families
While I love a bacon, egg & cheese muffin, I don’t love the oily cheese, the often obviously-been-sitting-there-a-while taste/temperature, plus the ingredients are almost always crooked on the muffin, which drives me crazy! Fast food has gotten shockingly expensive too, and the more mouths you have to feed, the more expensive it is! So, I’ve [...]
This recipe is decadent and delicious, but also very versatile. You control the ingredients, as well as just how “homemade” you want it to be! This will make about 6-8+ “stacks” depending on what you use and how much. It is easily doubled, or make gigantic pancakes to rival a restaurant breakfast! Of course, it’s [...]
It may seem like the wrong time of year to be making granola, but since I eat it for breakfast nearly every morning (and am headed for a 10 day vacation), it is time! I wanted to share my super simple recipe with you so you can make your own. It can be made with [...]
This yogurt parfait is an easy to make, good-for-you treat. Make it fun by serving in clear glasses or bowls. It’s extra-impressive in taller, or uniquely shaped dishes! All you need are blueberries, strawberries and plain (or vanilla, if you must) yogurt. Wash the fruit, cut strawberries into bite sized pieces and layer with yogurt. [...]
.. This is truly the BEST applesauce ever, and it’s so easy to make! It was started by my husband’s Grandmother, and passed along as time went by. I’ve made my own tweaks here and there, but the basics are accredited to Grandma Anderson. We love you Grandma! The Recipe: Grandma’s Applesauce .. .. This [...]
It is the month of LOVE. My parents always sent us to school with hot breakfasts. It really meant a lot to me. I felt loved. Especially in my teenage years. I try to do the same thing for our kids. Add some extra love to your family’s breakfast and send them off for the [...]
Bread. Oh, how I love thee. It’s no secret that I love bread – I could write a whole dissertation on how much I love it. In fact, it makes me weak in the knees. A good, fresh-from-the-oven loaf is the one thing that I cannot resist under any circumstances. I also love cheese. Combine [...]
Living in Malibu for several years, I had the privilege of knowing all the good local places to eat. Yes, there were your pricey and ritzy places, but unless you lived in Malibu (or were a frequent visitor) you didn’t know about reasonably-priced best-kept secret, Lily’s. Oh, Lily’s is a gem. A small, hole-in-the-wall diner [...]
French toast is a great treat any day of the week, but add a couple of ingredients and use a festive cookie cutter and you’ve got yourself a perfect holiday breakfast! Ingredients 8 thick slices of Challah, Brioche, Hawaiian, or French bread 2 large eggs 2/3 cup whole milk* 1/3 cup heavy cream* 1/2 teaspoon [...]
This is a great, versatile recipe that my whole family loves. You can use as little as one apple, for a texture similar to apple cake, or as many as 4, for an apple crumble-like result. You can leave the apples out too, and it’s still tasty! Best of all, you can prepare this ahead [...]
I have found that with my picky-eating husband and somewhat picky-eating toddler, the best ways to get good and varied vegetables in them is to puree them into tasty meals. I know this is not a new concept for most of you, but here are a few meal ideas (and recipes) that disguise veggies well [...]
… I’m not much of a breakfast person usually, but this recipe is fast, hot, and filling. It’s good for you, and sure to please even the smallest ones in your family. My boys were skeptical about the cranberries at first, but after trying one bite, they were hooked. We used to buy Costco’s individual [...]
Don’t let the name fool you, Apple Meatloaf is one of the best home-cooked tummy-lovin’ meals! It’s a favorite of our whole family – even the little guys! Oh, and the Blueberry muffins are to die for! I share a baking secret that will make everyone ask you for your baked goods recipes no matter [...]
Cooking with Carissa from Will Travel by Foot! One way to cut grocery costs is to make breakfast items from scratch instead of purchasing expensive convenience items such as cold cereals and granola bars. Now, that does not mean that I never buy those items myself, but I do wait until they are on sale [...]
