Ollie’s Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Desserts

Ollie’s Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

It's strawberry season.  It's rhubarb season.  And because my nine-year old was looking for a rainy day activity today, it's strawberry rhubarb pie season!  Ollie took this project under his wing and although I am biased, I have to say it was one of the better strawberry rhubarb pies I have ever eaten.  I hope you enjoy it as much…

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie DessertsSnacks

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie

My favorite chocolate chip cookies are the ones that have a slight crisp on the outside and are super chewy on the inside.  If that resonates with you, too, then look no further.  There's nothing new or exotic about this recipe, it's just good.  The only difference here is that you melt the butter--who knew I was doing it wrong…

The mornings can be a busy time for any family, especially if you aren’t always on the same schedule. One of my kids is an early riser and likes to eat right away.

This stuff is great and has quickly become a regular item on rotation in this house. My kids especially love it as a sandwich with cream cheese--definitely a school lunch staple.  And because of the Greek yogurt-it's pretty dense and very filling.  Enjoy! 1.5 cups blueberries (I used frozen and just coated them in a little flour before mixing them…

Magic Doughnuts – my go-to healthy snack (and sometimes breakfast)

I give snack advice all day long--what's quick, easy, can be eaten on the go, keeps you full, gives you energy, etc...the list goes on and on.  People usually come to me saying that they want to avoid that afternoon crash and is there a snack that makes them not want to reach for cookies, chips, candy, or anything else…

Amazing, Delicious Apple Bread! (or what to do with old apples) BreakfastDessertsSnacks

Amazing, Delicious Apple Bread! (or what to do with old apples)

 It's not apple season.  I know that.  But, I have a weird obsession with Honeycrip apples. And Macoun. Soooometimes Fuji, but never Gala or Cortland. And I could write a whole entire blog post on why I don’t actually think Granny Smiths should even be in the apple family. But that’s neither here nor there. The point is, that when I…
