I am on a pancake kick. I have accepted it. I have even considered starting a second blog just to document my obsession. This new pancake recipe is my husband’s favorite texture so far. I think it has something to do with the butter in the batter and also cooking them in butter. They came…

Simple Oat Cakes
I have had in my brain for a while, the concept of a simple, whole grain pancake. I wanted it to be whole grain, sweetener free (so that I feel good giving it to the baby), and obviously delicious enough for me to want to eat it. I think I finally have it. I give…
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….
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…
Blueberry Applesauce
I bought a large container of blueberries recently, even though I know better than to do this during the middle of Colorado winter. Sure enough, they were super sour. I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I found a creative solution. We made Blueberry Applesauce! It was delicious. The apples pared down the…

Pear + Buckwheat Pancakes (Gluten and Dairy Free)
I’ve been craving a hot breakfast in the morning lately. Is it because I want to warm up the kitchen on these frigid cold winter mornings? Possibly. One of my endless goals in life is to create the perfect pancake. One that is easy to make, will sustain me all morning, and, obviously, tastes delicious….
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…
Veggie Puzzles
This snacktivity is a great way to introduce vegetables to a hesitant eater. It really takes the pressure off eating them. Just touching vegetables and interacting with them in a fun way will help them be more open to tasting them in the future. I call this a snacktivity, because I have little expectation that…

Turkey Taquitos
These taquitos are a great way to shake up your Thanksgiving leftovers. We always seem to use up the dark meat first, so I freeze the breasts. The addition of mayonnaise keeps the white meat moist in these crunchy, crispy taquitos. The spice is a welcome new flavor profile from the standard Thanksgiving flavors. Serve…
