One day last week, my mother-in-law shared Chocolate Covered Katie’s “Better”finger Bars recipe on facebook. I quickly pinned it, then proceeded to click on the link every day for 5 days – intrigued, inspired, but also a wee bit iffy. Why? Because the recipe calls for Bran Flakes instead of Candy Corn. I know, right? What are Bran Flakes doing ... Read More »

We did some last-minute Halloween treats today – Pumpkin / Jack-o-Lantern Rice Krispies Treats! My little man is not yet 3, but I’m doing my best to get him helping me in the kitchen with something almost every day. He doesn’t do a lot yet – dumps measuring cup-fulls of ingredients into the mixing bowls, helps me stir things together, ... Read More »

These squares, though, ... Read More »
One of the many things that I love about fall is apples. Eating, baking, picking. There are so many apple orchards around us, so we watch the trees go into blossom in the spring, then develop the beautiful red apples. Our boys have been eating “an apple a day” ever since they were small. I also love using this apple ... Read More »
