Look, we’ve lived all around the country. Between the four of us kids, that’s a lot of block parties, bake sales, birthday parties, and every other kind of place or event that might call for a chocolate chip cookie. After a lot of searching (and personal research-which was all kinds of fun), we found the…
Peanut Butter & Honey Granola Bars
The upside of these homemade granola bars? They’re amazing. They’re easy. You’ll know exactly what’s going into those little (or big!) lunchboxes-and it’s nothing you can’t pronounce. The downside? Well, your kids (OR YOUR HUSBAND!) might decide they’re simply no longer willing to eat store-bought granola bars. Ever. Again.
Healthy Snacking for Healthy Kids
I have pretty vivid memories of coming home from school after those long days as an elementary school girl.

Getting all the camping gear together…
Summer Sipping
I experienced some amazing things this Spring while traveling to Dubai with my husband for business. Two favorites were dune bashing and Middle Eastern style lemonade. Dune bashing is a popular off-roading activity over sand dunes in parts of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Crazy fun – we loved it! But on a hot, dry…
Hot Dog Recipes & Tips
The husband and I had been married only a couple of months when our first little patriotic holiday rolled around. He woke up talking about Kobayashi like he was a long lost friend I just hadn’t heard of yet. I’m pretty sure I said something like, “Is that a new sushi roll? Yumm.” Somehow it…
