I was browsing through my Betty Crocker cookbook wanting to make something I hadn’t tried before when a tiny little recipe with only 3 ingredients caught my eye. I thought, really?? Only butter, sugar and flour? I had to try it out! Immediately after making this…
I am always looking for easy, healthy snacks that I can throw in a sandwich bag and take with me. Kids are hungry all the time! It doesn’t matter if we ate an hour before we left the house, I always find them rummaging in my…
We are obviously obsessed with cool drinks and treats in this hot weather! My mom always made orange julius for us as kids, so making this recipe was a very nostalgic experience. I loved drinking Orange Julius throughout the summer as a kid, so I thought…

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…
Pulling grapes has been one of little miss two’s favorite kitchen activities so far. It is repetitive and simple, plus she loves grapes so she can sample them along the way. I like to have her do this when we are making our lunch to take…
This is a variation on a traditional cinnamon toast my mom used to make for us growing up… sometimes as a bedtime snack or a family night treat. I think this would make a delicious part of a mother’s day breakfast made by the kids, showing their…
This was such an easy recipe for kids. My two-year-old could easily do the entire thing by herself. Kids loved chopping the banana and pouring all the ingredients into the blender. They especially loved pushing the button and watching everything blend together. The consistency probably wasn’t…
