Muffins…breakfast on the go or the perfect snack.

That can mean that your family is either going in different directions most evenings or you are at the very least constantly on the go. Eating a […]
Tasty after school snack ideas.
What kid doesn’t come home after a long day at school completely starving? It’s always amazing to me how hungry kids can get while learning, playing and doing all that they do in school. So, what do you feed those hungry kids? As a mom, I want my kids to eat healthy snacks that are […]
Quick breakfast ideas for back to school!
Can you believe it? It’s that time again! Yep, you guessed it, back to school. This time of year can bring with it an overwhelming list of things to think about and plan for. From school supplies to lunch ideas, after school snacks to that new pair of “must have” shoes. All of this could […]
I'll trade you a pudding snack for those cookies!
How often does that phrase ring out at the lunch tables of every school in the country? Do your kids ever have tasty treats in their lunch box that would warrant such a question?
