This one is really easy. It does sound a bit odd but it really is quite good. I found the idea in an interview with Martha Stewart a while back and have wanted to try it for awhile. All you do is this: season the salmon with salt and pepper and drop dollops of butter on […]
I know. What a title! I meant for it to just be Red Currant & Raspberry Soda but it was missing something so I added some lemon and water and it was perfect. So voila! Red Currant & Raspberry Sparkling Lemonade! Ingredients: Simple Syrup: 2 cups of water and 2 cups of raw sugar Raspberry/Red Currant Mixture: […]
You know we LOVE Farmer’s Markets. We try and go every single Saturday and all four of us have such a fun time together. We pick up the same old things that we need throughout the week and then we always try something new as well! Sometimes the girls pick the new item or sometimes […]
Kids can have treats too; at least in my book. But I still like to know what is in the food my children eat. I care where the ingredients come from. For this treat, I went to Whole Foods and ground the peanuts. I know where the chocolate chips came from and what they are made […]
This was one big thing I wanted to do this summer: visit a dairy with the girls. I tried and tried to find a place near me that would let us in but with no luck. When I went to go visit my sister this past weekend up in Logan, I saw that Rockhill Creamery […]
Sandwiches are one of my favorite things to prepare and eat for family dinner in the summer. Cooking anything in the oven or on the stove just makes the house even hotter. Sometimes I don’t even like dealing with a crock pot! This recipe will not heat up your house, other than when you cook […]
My kids don’t get enough veggies. It is something I always have to think about: did we have enough today? I always look at my menu plan and mark where we can have more vegetables. Don’t you love recipes that are jam packed full of veggies, but no one at the dinner table notices? This […]
Another great breakfast idea for you! These are great to make for company as well because they are so beautiful! Pancakes Packed with Fresh Fruit makes 4 (which is perfect for my family but you might need to double) Ingredients: 2 Bananas Unsweetened Coconut 1 cup of plain yogurt Drizzle of Honey 1 cup of flour […]
My girls LOVE muffins for snacktime or breakfast. Mmm, do they love muffins! Lots of muffin mixes really hold no nutritional value and honestly, muffins are so easy to throw together (coming from a lady who can BAKE very few things). These muffins are jam packed full of goodness: oranges, raisins, walnuts, flax seed, grain and yummy […]
I never really liked the lemonade served at parties and picnics that came from a mix. It tasted weird to me but when I tasted *REAL* lemonade…whoosh! Who knew that was what is was really supposed to taste like? I love making lemonade. It is weirdly relaxing and I just love that the girls see…”Hey those are […]
love of local in Utah
