When the weather is hot, popsicles tend to come out and get shared with friends. What’s a household to do when we

I’m feeling it already. You know how you hate heading to the kitchen by 4:00 on gorgeous summer days? It’s tempting to spend all my time outside or doing spring cleaning and decluttering and throw cereal, PBJs on store bread and frozen pizzas at the family for a week straight. But this summer I’m planning
I’ve been told, in spite of the fact that I see pumpkin recipes all over right now, that September is for apple recipes and October is for pumpkin recipes. In that case, this grain-free apple dessert topping recipe (or maybe breakfast treat) that I’ve been saving for this fall needs to be shared immediately! It
Q: “Mom, what’s for dinner?” A: “Pancakes.” “What else?” “A side of pancakes. Oh, and we’re starting with pancakes. Did I mention there will be pancakes for dessert?” Every so often, we have a meal of pancakes. With pancakes as the side. And pancakes for dessert. It may sound like this is a “compromise meal”
