I’ve been promising the Imaginative One homemade cookies all week. However with the stress of not knowing exactly what my assignment is for the upcoming school year, I’ve been nursing a headache off and on all week.

I’ve mentioned how much I like a local Farmer’s Market called Second Street Market. One of the vendors has a delicious granola called Triple Treat Granola. It contains walnuts, cranberries, and melted white chocolate. I sent a container to my May and one to my June foodie pen pals. Both of them loved the granola:).…

This is our family’s favorite ice cream that my in-laws make. They only make it for special occasions. At the end of the school year, my mother-in-law contacts my sons’ teachers and asks if they mind her bringing some ice creams to share with their classmates.

Usually they have a million bazillion calories in it though. I found a way to have my favorite muffin and still feel good about eating it. The cool thing about these…

The other night, the Wee One handed me a box and asked me what was in it. As I looked through it, I found blank cards and recipe cards. The treasure was two recipe cards written by my grandma. She died Christmas Eve of ’08, so it was nice to see her handwriting again. My…

Yum! And healthy are 2 words to describe this smoothie. Since I would make the boys homemade “Shamrock” shakes, I made myself one of these instead. This is another easy recipe to put together. This recipe makes four servings. I put the other three servings in the freezer to enjoy them later. (They are already portioned…

Last week, I took the boys to Mcdonald’s so they could try the Shamrock shake. Both of them loved it! This week I decided to make my own version. Ice cream was on sale for a pint. Can’t beat a dollar for a pint! It’s so simple to make. Just put the ingredients in the…
