This is a perfect patriotic parfait for the Fourth of July holiday. It is kid-friendly, healthy, and most of all — fun! What kid doesn’t like to eat food in the shape of a star?

This is one of those “oops” recipes, that I just had to share. I set out to make a smoothie for myself and Kellan recently, but it was just one of those days when even the simplest of things was not going right…

I’m happy to report that in the midst of all the chaos of preparing to put our house on the market, I have managed to nurture and grow a plant. This is big because I don’t really have a green thumb.

Dip is delicious. Kids love it, adults love it…and for good reason. It makes everything yummier. So wrap your head around this – what if you could dip your dip and eat it??? Crazy, right? Yeah. Crazy delicious.

Finally! I’m implementing a meal plan this week! It’s not always easy, of course. Sometimes when I have a minute to run to the grocery store, I’m doing so without any sort of idea what we might eat the following week. But this time, I gave it a little thought. Yay.

Cookies, cookies, cookies. Everyone’s all about the cookies right now. Baking them, eating them, gifting them. I’ve never been much of a cookie maker (although I love to consume them), except for the winter I was pregnant with Kellan…

Puzzles are THE thing at our house right now. Kellan would do them over….and over….and over again — for HOURS — if I let him. I’m sure they are wonderful for building a sense of accomplishment and his ability to solve problems, but I have found that they also solve one of my problems — getting him to eat his lunch in a timely fashion.

Are you ready for Thanksgiving yet?
I’m not. I’ve thought about one or two dishes, but that’s about it. Luckily, I’m not hosting at my house, so I’m not too concerned about the lack of forethought. But it’s time to get the talk going with my mom and mother-in-law to see what our plan of attack will be this year.

This pumpkin smoothie is like a piece of pumpkin pie in a glass, with a lot less sugar. And it’s a perfect way to use up a bit of leftover puree from a pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread recipe!

Oh boy. You know what time it is, right? Slow cooker time! Yes, I’m talking about those handy dandy CrockPots, one of the great kitchen inventions of all time.

So we’ve done the Halloween crafts — the Jack O’ Lantern Jars and the Ghostly Ghoul Wreath — but I realized, hey! I should make some Spooky Food!
Here’s what we had on our Spooky Food menu the other night…
