Cookie Bowl Birthday Treats

Birthday season has begun at our house, so I have been planning and perusing Pinterest for birthday treat ideas.  I didn’t originally find this idea on Pinterest, this one evolved over dinner one night as we were brainstorming ideas.  I did a little internet search, and was pleasantly surprised at what I found.   I […]

WUTW :: Recipes & Food Scales {1/27/2012}

I’m linking up with the Homeschool Mother’s Journal In my life this week…we bought a food scale last week and who knew it could be so much fun?  Even the kids are having a good time seeing how much stuff weighs.  It’s been an easy way to talk about ounces vs grams.  I’ve been using […]

Pancakes for Dinner

Do you ever do breakfast for dinner? Umm, my pancakes don’t ever look like that!  More like this, We often do a breakfast dinner when Bob is out of town.  It’s an easy and quick meal, less expensive than grabbing something at the drive-thru and a little healthier too.  Pancakes definitely aren’t health food, but […]

Jonah was eager to get catnip planted in his garden! Our Pizza Garden –  Tomatoes, […]
