A bright frozen treat that could not be easier for kiddos to help with. It is basically a really thick smoothie that you can eat like the freshest sorbet ever. Try it with full fat coconut milk for a pina colada vibe. Serve in an ice cream cone for extra festiveness. Some whipped coconut cream…

Mini Plum Galettes with Vanilla Ice Cream
These little galettes are so easy for kids to make and they get to have fun folding their galette dough in their very own way. We made these plum galettes in our Purple foods course. The plums get syrupy and sweet. These are delectable warm with a little vanilla ice cream. The tricky part of…
Cake Donuts
These donuts are an explosion of color. They have a soft, cakey inside with a crisp glaze to crackle when you bite into them. We like using a metal donut pan for these, but a silicone one will work as well. They are a favorite birthday breakfast around our house, but I recommend making them…
Mini Butter Tarts
These little tarts remind me just enough of a chess pie to hit that caramel-y flavor I love, but with way less baking time and a super simple ingredient list. This is a great recipe to get your kids in the kitchen! They can help stir up the filling, crack eggs, cut out the pie…
Flower Press Cookies
These cookies were inspired by our local farmer’s market. My four year old talked me into buying a giant bag of edible flowers, and then we had to figure out what to do with them! Luckily, I had a book club meeting that afternoon, so I could show off our creations! I worried the flowers…
Strawberry Banana Swirl
This is one of my favorite whole family snacks. We love trying out different varieties of Banana Swirl depending on what fruit or mix ins we have lying around. Strawberry Banana Swirl is one of my favorites, because the tartness of the frozen berries balances the sweetness of the banana. I love that it’s sweetener…
Gluten Free Dairy Free Lemon Thyme Donuts
This past week, we busted out my daughter’s real porcelain tea set she got from my mom for Christmas. When any of her granddaughters become old enough to play with it responsibly, my mom gives them a beautiful, working tea set. We set it aside after Christmas, and Eloise has been asking daily when we…
Gluten Free Dairy Free Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Smash Cake
My younger daughter turned one recently. Like most caregivers, I am in awe that the year has passed so quickly, but because of COVID quarantining and social distancing, it feels like she has been a part of our family for so long. I have gotten a large amount of quality time with her this past…
Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Apple Crisp
My husband’s family is in an area of the country that has apple orchards nearby. I have always been envious of being able to pick your own apples. In southeast Texas, where I grew up, we had berries galore, but never the requisite frost for apple trees. The one time we made it to his…
Gluten + Dairy Free Peach Pie
As soon as I held my case of peaches at the farmers market, I knew. Some of these peach babes were going to be made into peach pie. In my opinion, it’s hard to top a fruit pie. There’s something about a flaky, buttery crust filled with fresh, warm fruit that just works. I would…
Simple Roasted Peaches
I learned, a few years ago, that peaches are in the “stone fruit” family (presumably because of the pit). Since then, I realized that stone fruit season is my absolute favorite. In our town, it comes at the end of summer, like a little celebration for all the fun and adventures summer has given us….
Review of Gluten Free Dairy Free Immaculate Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough
I’m really a bake from scratch kind of girl, but sometimes it’s just a break and bake kind of day. I’ve seen this brand of cookie dough several times, and always wanted to try it. We figured week who knows of COVID is the perfect opportunity! Our local Sprouts carries it, and HEB also has…
