These mini scones are the perfect little baking project to make with the kids out of school this week. They are no more difficult than biscuits, but they seem festive and fancy. I love using frozen blackberries for these, as they are much cheaper and the flavor is great. Mini Blackberry Scones Ingredients 3 Tablespoons…

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…
Cinnamon Applesauce
Fall is in the air! That means it is time to make some applesauce. Is there anything better than a pot of cinnamon scented apples bubbling away on the stove? I’m not sure, but I doubt it. This recipe couldn’t be simpler and relies on the sweetness of your apples. I recommend using a sweet…
Easy Carrot Hummus
If your kiddos love hummus, this carrot hummus is a great way to introduce carrots in a non-threatening manner. I love how it can introduce new flavors, add variety of color, and is super easy! We are harvesting carrots from our garden right now, and this is a perfect way to use up our excess….
Cherry Smoothie
This smoothie is as easy as it is delicious. My littlest likes smoothies on the thin side, so if you’d like this creamier, use 1 1/2 cups of milk instead. We also call this smoothie “pink milk” and that goes over well with the littles. Ingredients 1 cup frozen cherries 1 frozen banana 2 cups…

Simple Ingredient Watermelon Lime Popsicles
We had a heat wave in Colorado last week! The temperature broke heat records three days in a row, and Colorado issued a heat warning for the first time in history. This calls for….popsicles! Such a perfect afternoon treat. Who can beat these no added sweetener treats? They’re cheap, easy, and a great way for…
Rainbow Summer Rolls
Eloise has been very into “rainbow order” of colors lately. Specifically putting all of her Magna Tiles into rainbow order during clean up time. Is this a newfound fascination with rainbow order, or procrasti-cleaning at it’s best? Regardless, I thought it would be fun to include some rainbow themed foods this week. You can use…
3 Ingredient Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
This is installment two of “ignoring the clear signs of winter around me”. We used our Fresh Squeezed Lemonade from last week to make some popsicles. We are getting small snow flurries this week, but my brain has already completely moved on from winter. I’m ready for farmer’s markets, biking around town, and Picnic Thursdays….
Easy Steamed Carrot Hack
My preschooler has been into baby carrots and hummus lately. It’s been her go to snack, and I am for it. Does anyone else feel like supermom when their kid eats a vegetable dipped into another vegetable? The only problem is that my toddler always want what everyone else is having. In theory, this is…
Toddler Egg and Rice Pancakes
Is it just me, or are you always in need of a healthy, filling snack for your toddler too? This little snack recipe has come out of necessity. Halfway through cooking dinner, I suddenly realize most of what we are eating is not appropriate for my toddler. It’s usually when we’re having a big salad…
Simple Strawberry-Banana Smoothie
This is my go to weekday smoothie recipe. I love that it has added flax (great for kiddos dealing with constipation), sneaky spinach, and uses ingredients I typically always have on hand. I like to serve the 16 month old’s in her Pura cup. The straw is large enough for her to easily drink the…
