My family LOVES popcorn! I think they associate it with watching movies…so every time we “pop” in a movie to watch on the weekend, I “pop” some popcorn. They are loving the popcorn that I’ve been making lately, so I thought I’d share the simple recipe and directions to make your own. You just need […]
yogurt banana splits
Earlier this week, I shared a fun way to serve yogurt…yogurt sundaes. Strawberries, almond slices, sprinkles, mini chocolate ships…a fun presentation, and if you close your eyes you might even think you’re eating ice cream instead of yogurt! Today, I’m sharing another fun and whimsical way to serve yogurt… Yogurt Banana Splits To make these, […]
yogurt sundaes
We love yogurt at our house! All types of yogurt…Greek, plain, and vanilla. There are so many ways to add it to your daily eating, too. Of course, we make smoothies with it and top it with fruit for a snack. Many of my recipes use Greek yogurt as a substitute for butter or oil, […]
apple + PB + chocolate = tasty snack
It’s apple picking time in the midwest! We love our trips to the apple orchard on those warm fall afternoons that start out with a cool crispness in the air. My girls love finding just the right variety of trees and then begin filling a bushel basket with the red (and sometimes green) fruit. We […]
leap year

These frog cookies are simple to make with Oreos, pretzels, green […]

I’m convinced that packing for one night is just as much effort as packing for an entire week! Plus there was a change in weather…so that meant taking along hats, gloves, coats, extra layers of […]
“painting” bread
I usually have a healthy snack waiting for my girls when they come home from school…fruit, granola bars, yogurt, carrot sticks. I try to make Fridays a little more fun. After all, it is the final school day of the week leading into the weekend fun! Sometimes it is a sweet treat…other times it is […]
gooey granola goodness
Spring sport season is here…and that means life will be busy! My oldest daughter plays catcher for our high school softball team. My middle daughter joined the crew team this year, while my youngest one is playing spring soccer and youth league softball. Did I mention how busy life will be? Practices, games, regattas, tournaments…memories […]
apple and granola snacks
Who doesn’t love apples? They are one of nature’s perfect foods. We love going to the apple orchard in the fall and picking them right off the trees! Since it is winter here in Ohio, I purchase them from the market on a weekly basis. My girls love all kinds of apples, but especially the […]
