These Granny Smith Apple Waffles are one of the solutions I came up with to get my daughter (Little Foodie) to eat at school. She is one incredibly fussy little character, and getting her to eat at school has been an on-going battle all year. She would refuse to eat more than a couple nibbles [...]
Yes, I just said Whole Wheat Maple Graham Crackers, and for the few of you out there that realize the redundancy of that title, I heartily apologize. I case you are scratching your head about now (which admittedly I would have been not so long ago), graham is a coarsely ground whole wheat flour, hence [...]

I raided the fridge of cantaloupe, and this recipe is what I came up with. Creamy Cantaloupe Pops Recipe Ingredients: 1 cup [...]
As many of my readers already know I am very fond of cooking from scratch, and try and avoid feeding my family food with artificial ingredients. Even as a stay at home mom, I do not always have the time to make everything from scratch, nor do I have the time to clean up the [...]
My daughter is fussy. She loves many foods, but there are many others she snubs. I do my best to provide a balanced diet for her, through giving as much variety among the things she does like on a plate. With M it isn’t too hard because she adores fruit of all kinds. I always [...]
