I love mushrooms! Especially cooked mushrooms. That flavor is just oh, so delectable! So last week I decided to pull out an old recipe, for Portobello Mushroom Burgers! Portobellos rival meat in price per pound, but I think they are lighter than a hamburger would be, and also form a better circle! The boys don’t Read More …
Do you ever get bored with the way you serve pasta? Red sauce, white sauce, plain old butter, olive oil (I hear people use pesto, not an option here.) There are different ways to dress it up, and different proteins to add, but often kids, in particular, latch onto one type of pasta and aren’t Read More …
This recipe is a family favorite! We got it around the time my husband and I married, and it has become our go-to appetizer for holidays and family gatherings. Somebody is always asking if we’re going to make it. This year we made it for–you guessed it, Easter! Smoked Salmon Medley Ingredients: 8oz brick of Read More …
Hello friends! Let’s talk about frosting. I have turned into a frosting snob over the last few years. For Zax’s first birthday, I discovered several frosting recipes that I absolutely love, and now I can’t make myself go back to canned frosting. I didn’t really make this switch because of allergies–the store-bought ones are usually Read More …
I always figured meringue was something my egg-allergic kiddo would never have–until now! Read More …

This is a very old cake recipe. It goes back to the depression era when eggs, butter, and milk were both expensive and rationed, so some genius (who is lost in the annals of history) developed this cake. I’ve seen it referred to online as the “Wacky Cake,” “Crazy Cake,” “Depression Era Cake,” and the Read More …
Back during Christmas break, I decided to do a bird feeder craft with the kids. We all know that the traditional pinecone birdfeeder has peanut butter, but considering that birdseed often contains sunflower seeds, I figured birds (and squirrels, darn them) would be perfectly fine with Sunbutter. So that’s what we did! It was superhero Read More …
We had a lot of fun making our Valentines this year! We decided to make them allergy friendly, and so we hauled out an old favorite craft–the Crayon Cupcake! This is also a great way to get rid of old, broken crayons (of which we had almost a full bucket.) I removed the wrappers, and Read More …
I found this recipe a few years ago, and have since turned into a hummus junkie! It tastes soooo good when you make it yourself! Hummus is a great source of protein and healthy fats. Adding beets into it adds a lot of vitamins, not to mention a bright color that makes it appealing. Pink Read More …
