It is surprisingly easy to make cheese crackers. My children enjoy the process (they can really get their hands into it!) and the crackers disappear almost as soon as they get out of the oven! And the smell in the house? Mmmmmmm! Even though you can use a pastry cutter to combine the ingredients, it…
These cute Pilgrim Hat Cookies are a kid-friendly addition to any Thanksgiving celebration. Not only fun to eat, they are also easy for kids to make! Bonus: everyone’s fingers get chocolatey. Yum! My son and I first made these cookies for our friends at Build A Menu. At the time he was six, and he…
How high on the Mom Coolness Scale do you think you’d rank if you told your children it was time to play with their food? Well, playing with food is just what Veggie Cheese People are all about! This activity is a great way to let your children express their inner artists, while inspiring them…
Summer is here, and one of my daughter’s favorite things to eat for breakfast or a snack during hot weather is a Ballerina Smoothie. She loves them, and so do I! And because they’re so simple to make, she can make them on her own. I don’t remember exactly where or when we first saw…
When it’s hot outside and you need something refreshing for the family, head to the kitchen with your kids to make a sweet and icy watermelon slush! This recipe is a fun collaboration between parents and kids. Moms and dads, you’ll want to be in charge of using the big knife and the blender while…
There is just something about a warm, doughy, soft pretzel that I just can’t resist! Truth be told, there aren’t many pretzel varieties that I don’t like snacking on, but soft sourdough pretzels are definitely a weakness. A weakness that my children inherited as well. We can hardly pass up the opportunity to snack on…
One thing I do to make mealtimes a bit easier for our large homeschooling family is to make freezer meals. I even do this with some of our breakfast recipes. On a monthly basis we will usually make pancakes, waffles, and muffins to freeze so we have them on hand for the entire month. Chocolate…
Chicks represent new life. They are baby chickens. And since we all receive new life in Christ, this is a good tie-in with Easter. It is a bit messy! But you can make these cute chicks yourself as a special treat to serve on Easter, or use it on Palm Sunday to help children look…
Constance, who usually posts one of her delicious dinner recipes on Thursdays, is swamped this week, so I’m filling in for her today. 🙂 I chose to share a recipe from my sister because it really truly is a super yummy recipe! I think you will enjoy this gluten free dessert! It can be very…
Moist, classic banana bread for a delicious treat.
It’s that time of the year when all I can think about is the sweet aroma of spices and baked apples floating from my kitchen and saturating the house. That means it’s time for some apple muffins! If I don’t bake, then I’ll find an apple and cinnamon spice or pumpkin pie scented candle to…
