I am a pancake fiend. I love pancakes. I love all pancakes. I love flat pancakes that you smear with butter and syrup and roll up like a burrito, I love dense pancakes filled with spelt and dried cherries, but most of all I love a giant stack of fluffy pancakes that tower above your…

Sheet Pan Peach Cobbler
I developed this recipe out of a need for a quicker, out of season peach cobbler for our Outstanding Orange course. We only have an hour and a half from start to finish, which can be tricky when baking with 10 student chefs. Often cobblers will have you bake it for 45 minutes to an…
Sugar Cookie Fruit Tarts
I still have vivid memories of eating a fruit tart for the firsts time. My mom and I had traveled to the larger city near us for a soccer tournament, and we went out to eat at La Madeline with a few friends from the team. Because we were with other people, I was allowed…
Fruit and Yogurt Parfait
This isn’t really as much of a recipe as it is a reminder that fruit and yogurt parfaits are perfection. It’s full of fat if you use full fat yogurt (which I recommend as it’s especially important for kids and teens), calcium, probiotics, fiber from the granola and fruit, vitamin C from the fruit, and…
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…
Mini Blackberry Scones
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…
Juicy Peach Gummy Bears
Never made your own gummy bears? Fear not! It is so simple. Not willing to shell out for a gummy bear mold? Fear not! You can simply pour this into a baking dish and cut into inch squares. If you do want to shell out, here’s the mold we used. We’ve used it several times…
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….
Creamy Strawberry Banana Popsicle
We’ve been trying different popsicle flavors at our house lately. I love the simplicity of them. I love how excited my toddler is to make them. I love how excited she is to go outside and eat them. We’ve been having a popsicle snack when the 3 year old wakes up from her nap. We…
Peaches, Berries, and Cream Popsicles
Summer has officially hit here in Houston. This means two things: First, if we don’t go outside before 10AM, we don’t go outside. Second, it’s popsicle season! If you haven’t made your own popsicles before, it can be intimidating, but I promise it’s just as easy as making a smoothie. You simply put that smoothie…
Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies
If you are not a breakfast cookie convert, prepare to be. These carrot cake breakfast cookies are a great way to shake up the never ending cycle of oatmeal at our house. Eloise is on a peanut butter oatmeal kick lately. I like to keep changing things up when I can, so that there aren’t…
Snack Tray Lunches
Weather has been warm and beautiful lately, and we have been enjoying outside lunches as much as possible these days. The easiest way to make this happen has been snack tray lunches. What is a snack tray lunch you ask? It’s where I pile all the leftovers and odds and ends from the fridge onto…
