Looking for new ideas for lunches? Tortilla rolls have become our new faves. I can pretty much look in the cupboards/fridge and grab leftovers and ingredients I have laying around and experiment… which saves me from having to make anymore trips to the grocery store. Tortilla…
This is yet another recipe from the great Annabel Karmel. So many recipes in her book caught my eye, and I have so many on the list yet to try! Some other great ones I have reviewed here include chicken nuggets, and mini banana bran muffins. Little…
I am quickly becoming a huge fan of Annabel Karmel. This recipe is one of hers from her Top 100 Finger Foods: 100 Recipes for a Healthy, Happy Child and I LOVE how it turned out. The first recipe we tried from her cookbook was her Crispy Chicken…
Today I was graciously accepted to post on my friend Alexis’ blog – Learn As We Go She is a mother to four kids under the age of six and shares on a variety of topics including frugal living and other family topics. I met Alexis…
I am on a bit of a breakfast kick. I love breakfast, and my kids love breakfast foods, so trying out new breakfast recipes is a win-win. We have had fun experimenting and making some unique, creative breakfast foods that the kids have a blast with.…
These cereal balls are essentially just dump, mix and form! No baking required. A toddler can make the whole thing from start to finish if you and they want to! I really like the idea of using cheerios to make a quick and easy snack. I…
Who doesn’t love a nice little frozen treat in the middle of summer? And how about one that’s so simple a toddler can make it? When I saw this idea in our PBS Do It Myself Cookbook I knew we needed to try it! This little…
Were there egg shells in this egg salad? You bet there was! That’s what happens when toddlers make the entire thing. But, the recipe was really good and it was fun that the kids got to make our lunch today. They ate the entire thing, so…
This lovely Marmalade Muffin recipe comes from Pioneer Woman. I came across her recipes when I was first married and quickly became a huge fan. For Valentine’s Day as a just-starting-out married couple, my husband bought me her newly-released cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, Recipes from an Accidental…
This recipe was such a fun creative outlet for my toddlers. Was the final product incredibly delicious? To me, it really wasn’t, but the kids ate a ton of them and were proud of what they did. 🙂 They would be delicious with just raspberries, blueberries,…
I don’t know about your toddlers, but mine LOVE chicken nuggets. Especially dunking them in sweet and sour sauce from McDonalds – my husband taught my son very young to enjoy them! PICKY EATER? Since he loves chicken nuggets so much sometimes it’s hard to get…
I love muffins, but I am not a huge fan of bananas. These are the only banana muffins I have ever made that I really love, and since I always have a few extra bananas that are starting to go brown, this is the perfect excuse…
WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER RICE? I always have leftover rice from dinner and I’m never sure what to do with it. But I love rice pudding. It’s a comfort food. One day I had a small amount of leftover white rice in the fridge, and…

I make this quiche for my family for dinner at least twice a month. I have played around a lot with the ingredients such as how many eggs, how much milk (or using cream instead) until I was really happy with this combination. My toddlers absolutely…
This is the easiest recipe for pie crust I have tried to date. There’s no rolling required, the ingredients are simple and I always have them on hand, and there’s really no way to mess it up… when I do rolled pie crust it seems to…
Growing up I was not a huge fan of pasta. Spaghetti was a common meal in my house and I quickly began to dislike it. It wasn’t till I got a little older that I realized it wasn’t the spaghetti I disliked but it was tomato…
I am a huge fan of recipes that take less than five ingredients, so this recipe fit neatly into my “perfect recipe for kids” category. I was a little skeptical that the consistency would turn out less like ice-cream and more like a smoothie, but I was…
Mister four’s quote from this cooking experience was “Mom, this is the messiest!” said with a huge amount of joy and wonder. Truly don’t toddlers love playing with dough? Here is the perfect opportunity to get your toddler helping making something the whole family will enjoy.…
I was introduced to these by my husband who spent 2 years in Brazil for a church mission. We first saw them in the frozen section at Whole Foods. We love looking at their frozen treat section we figure if Whole Foods sells it it can’t…
