There has been a lot of sickness in our family the last 2 weeks, and it hit me hard! I find soups incredibly healing for the body and soul, there is something really special about them. I have said before that I love soups and get very disheartened that my kids don’t share my sentiments. […]

Trying to get creative with some more food for my littlest non-eater, I started experimenting with more meals to do with pastry or “pie crust” as she loving calls it. Then I remembered I have a set of 3 different sized samosa makers that I purchased 10 or more years ago and are hiding in […]

I know this isn’t the most healthy alternative of muesli bars, but it’s great for a special treat or even cut into little squares for a party. My kids have grown up not eating commercial muesli bars since they are not failsafe, and in the past when I have tried to make something like them or made […]
