Cooking With Kids: Peanut Butter Banana Loaf
Well, here it is Thursday again and I wanted to share the yummiest recipe ever with you guys.

Wordless Wednesday: And So It Starts…#Dentistry
Good thing for insurance plans. I have often joked to my kids, somewhat bitterly given the amount of money that winds up going in one of these two directions: dentistry and veterinarians, that they should pursue either one of these options as careers. From what I can see, it’s like a licence to print money. Especially that last one. When our poor sweet cat Magnum was dying, every time I walked through the door of the emergency vet clinic in town it cost me $75 to say hello. It never cost less than $700 to help our cat. I know teeth and cats aren’t the same thing, but they are…

So here it is: Start with Tenderflake pie shells In a mixing bowl add: 4 eggs 1 cup shredded cheese. we mixed cheddar and mozzarella.…

Special K Cracker Chips #giveaway
You know how brands are always trying to breed the chip with crackers to make something more healthy than a chip and less boring than a cracker? You know how it never, ever works? The cracker ends up being too much like a cracker still to pass for a chip? Well, my friends this time they got it right. I was lucky to get connected with Kellogg’s at Blissdom last year and they’ve been sending me little prize boxes all year filled with their latest items. I love new cereals and new granola bars and other products, but I was itching to try these, because we lead a healthy lifestyle,…
