I have some picky eaters in this house and anything that is new and kid friendly really excites me!

I then boiled apples and sweet potato and then upon reading … Continue reading →

Alison is now on Day 4 of her “Easy Meals leading up to her move” adventure! I will let you in on a little secret…she’s starting to feel a bit overwhelmed with these meals even though they are easy once in the crockpot!

Maybe she’ll resume some easy meals once she moves into her new home! Stay tuned on that. … Continue reading →
