Cinnamon Syrup
Happy International Waffle Day! We decided to share with you our Cinnamon Syrup that you can put over your favorite waffle recipe! If you don't have a favorite waffle recipe I highly suggest you try Almost Famous Pecan Waffles they are filling and wonderful! It seems almost once a week we have breakfast for dinner. Maybe it is because I am becoming more and more exhausted at dinner time or most likely because we just like breakfast foods. Not only are they quick to make, we have the ingredi...
Easter Bunny Pancakes
Did your mom always tell you to not play with your food?! Well, for this Easter Breakfast, we wanted to get the kids involved. What better way to have our Easter breakfast than with pancakes. And to make it even better, let the Little Chefs make them into Easter Bunnies!
My Little Chefs LOVE pancakes. We eat pancakes not just for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner as well. This is why I needed to make a homemade pancake recipe that we loved. For this recipe I like to add and change ...
Stitched Easter Egg
Where did the idea of a Stitched Easter Egg come from? I was taught how to cross stitch by my Mom when I was young. I started with small easy projects and progressed to large ballet themed pictures with MANY colors and details.
I thought my Little Chefs were ready to begin learning this skill. Easter Eggs are so fun to decorate because there are no limitations. We decided to learn how to do a few simple stitches on egg shaped plastic canvas'.

Mandarin Orange Jello with Lemon Pudding
This family recipe comes from my mom! Growning up Mandarin Orange Jello with Lemon Pudding was a frequent side dish for our holiday and birthday dinners. Still to this day, I request my mom to make it for family dinner on my birthday. This recipe has now become one of my Little Chefs favorites.
Along with the colored eggs and baskets filled with candy, Easter also means a Honey Baked Ham for dinner. As we thought about what to go along with our ham, this childhood recipe popped into my ...
Homemade Granola Bars Recipe
At our house, the "go to" snack has always been the granola bar. Recently, as the price of a box of granola bars has sky rocketed. And also realizing the nutritional value of most granola bars are typically the same as a candy bar - I had to bust out the big guns and create a Homemade Granola Bars Recipe.
What we LOVE about this simple homemade granola bar recipe, is that the options are endless. You can pick and choose your own ingredients to your own liking. From peanut butter and ...

If they know I will be doing something Easter related each day they will be super excited for that one activity and then use ...
Orb Factory Review and Giveaway – Sticky Mosaics Twinkle Tiaras & Robots

The Orb Factory sent us these fun Sticky Mosaics Kits for our Little Chefs to try. It was a Robot Riot! And Tiara Princess Party! We had so much fun!

Each kit contained multiple Robots and Tiaras, so ...

Saint Patrick Day Personal Pizza
I try to get my Little Chefs to eat new things all the time, but when it comes to Celebrations and Parties, they hardly expect to eat Corned Beef or Cabbage, maybe we will try that next year! So, for this Saint Patricks Day, they wanted PIZZA! I had to think, how can we put a St Patrick twist on Pizza? As my Little Chefs pulled out all their favorite toppings to create their own personal pizza, out came the green pepper....and there was my answer - how cute would a green pepper four leaf ...

Tempura-Continuing Our Culinary Journey
Tempura was made on the same day we also made Japanese Gyoza. Tempura is something I have made for my Little Chefs however this was the first time they helped make it. This afternoon of cooking was like musical chairs. Each time I turned around one Little Chef was off playing and another one was at my side wanting to help.
First the vegetables and protein were prepared. Cut them in thin slices or "matchstick" size. We used green beans, onion, sweet potato and shrimp. The sweet potato ...
