My tween daughters love all sorts of cuisines from all around the world. In fact, as soon as one of my daughters could crawl, she was known to steal Korean food off her grandmother's plate instead of eating the perfectly regular American-style toddler food that was reserved for her. But even the pickiest of kids can be enticed to enjoy food from around the world if the recipes are right! I co-host the Craft Frenzy Friday and the Motivation Monday linky parties, and I noticed that there was a great mix of international cuisines linked up this week! So I picked six favorites that I Continue reading...

  I make my kids breakfast bright and early every weekday morning at 6:30 a.m. At that early in the morning, it can be hard for my brain to function enough to figure out what to cook! I often make my daughters grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast. Recently, I added a new flavor to their grilled cheese sandwiches by adding some pepper jack cheese and fresh basil. We love it. As you may know, I co-host the Craft Frenzy Friday and Motivation Monday parties. I love co-hosting those parties, because it helps me to get to know other bloggers and to enjoy all their great ideas! I Continue reading...
