Recently, I saw a commercial for Ocean Spray’s Cran-Pineapple fruit juice. I knew I had to buy it to try, but not as juice. Instead, I wanted it to make a martini. Two of my favorite cocktail mix-ins are cranberry juice and pineapple juice. But I end up having so much left over and can …

Need some easy Easter sides to make your Easter a little less stressful? I have got you covered. How many of you spend days selecting the menu, shopping, and preparing the food for a big holiday meal only to leave frustrated and left-out of the holiday fun? By selecting easy menu items, you can spend …
Anyone that has spent the day with a toddler knows they’re generally super picky eaters (my kids are no exception). During the baby stages, I was able to puree everything and put it in a pouch (I could kiss whoever created reusable pouches). We introduced our boys to all sorts of foods early and they …
One of our favorite items when going out to eat at Mexican Restaurants (and Cheesecake Factory) are sweet corn cakes. My family absolutely loves this decadent side dish. I have been trying for a few years to find a recipe to recreate it at home and I finally found one that works (with adjustments). I …
Carl loves Lambie from DocMcstuffins. I think that I am actually more into the show than he is (I think it’s adorable!) My Mom bought him a Doc McStuffins Flap book and he is obsessed with finding the characters. His favorites are Lambie and Hallie so I was excited to make this snack for him. …

Last week I gave a little sneak peek on Instagram for today’s post. We celebrated Carl’s half-birthday (yes, my husband and I am crazy and celebrate every little thing). Since Carl’s birthday falls so close to Christmas, I told my husband that I wanted to celebrate his half-birthday as a tradition. No toys or parties, just a …
My toddler muffin recipe is a go-to when I am trying to get fruits and vegetables into my picky kid. When Carl started eating finger foods, we had a difficult time getting him to eat anything aside from grilled cheese and bananas. I tried out multiple toddler muffin recipes and eventually mixed them all together …
I am so excited that Carl is finally getting old enough for me to make cute kid meals. I think it is so much fun to take a meal and make it more enticing for a child to eat. Last week I created this little sheep after a visit to the zoo. Carl especially loved …
I am so excited to share this special recipe with you today. Growing up, my Grandma was the family baker. I was lucky enough to get her baking genes (unless my family has been lying to me all these years…). When things are stressful, I find baking relaxes me. I know how crazy that sounds, but …
