The girls helped me unwrap two packages of Hershey’s kisses to make “Peanut Butter Blossoms” (cookies) for Christmas. I was hesitant to give them this job, but they were enthusiastic and diligent workers. And they didn’t sneak a single piece of chocolate!

Yum! This is the third time I’ve used my good ol’ bread machine (for just the dough cycle) since we unpacked all our belongings in June. I’ve made pizza dough, whole-wheat raisin bread, and now date granola bread. I love it!

I was wondering if anyone had found an easy solution to making baby food. I can steam foods well enough on the stovetop, but I have yet to find a good way to puree the foods. My blender doesn’t blend unless there’s a lot of liquid at the bottom of it, so I’m not quite [...]

My family and I love All-Bran Muffins! They’re sweet, moist, and good for you, too! We like these so much that we looked all around Europe until we found boxes of All-Bran in France. It was called something different, but it was almost exactly the same cereal. I’ve noticed that the cereal boxes no longer [...]
