Fun Easter Crafts and Food Ideas for Kids
Pastel colors and cotton balls, Easter grass and yellow peeps – all bring to mind baskets of eggs, bunnies and pretty little girl dresses. Ah Spring. After a long cold winter, it’s fun to start planning spring-time and Easter projects with your kids. Here are a few fun ideas for Easter crafts and yummy snacks that your kids can help make and of course – eat!

Family Favorite Macaroni and Cheese
This recipe, like all the recipes I post allow you to make a global impact just by buying the key branded ingredient.

Beans Supreme
Canned baked beans always seem to come up short. Oh, they taste good, but most of the time they're too watery, the beans are too soft, there aren't enough ingredients other than the beans themselves, and they lack substance and flavor. After much trial and error over a period of decades, I've settled on a combination of ingredients that always goes over well, whether at a simple dinner at home, a dinner with just a few guests, or at a large party.

Three Quick and Easy Family Breakfast Recipes
Even though I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I'll admit that it's also one of the hardest to go to a lot of trouble for during the busy weekday. We've never been big breakfast eaters at my house, in fact, cold cereal or toaster waffles are the usual fare on any given Monday through Friday morning around here. But, on the weekends we often like to whip up a big breakfast for the whole family and then actually sit down at the same table and eat it together. Wow, that's a feat in itself anymore!

Give a Kid a Muffin and Watch Him Smile
In our house muffins hold a grand place of honor – in the hands of the toddlers. These ‘travel friendly’ little cakes are, in my opinion, the perfect food; especially for little kids. Muffins are just the right size for little hands and little mouths as well. During the warm months, I can give a kid a muffin from the back door and they run gleefully across the yard with snack in hand. Healthy, hearty and delicious, muffins are a meal in one.

Easy Recipes for Better Family Meals
The daily dilemma: what to cook for dinner. After years of cooking for my family, I can honestly say that there have been times when I lost my creative will in the dinner department. Now that I have a picky four-year-old to consider in the equation, the dilemma has increased to almost disaster size. He has a list of about 5 items that he'll eat and will not vary easily. In other words, I'm having a rather difficult time finding easy to prepare meals that will satisfy the whole family. What to do, what to do?

Two Quick and Easy Stew Recipes Your Family Will Love

Easy and delicious stew recipes were made for busy families! Look for recipes with ingredients that are readily available in your grocery store and that can be prepped and popped into the stew pot with ease.

Recipes to Warm Your Heart & Your Soul
This time of year most of us are thinking of ways to keep warm. What could be better than recipes which come straight out of our grandmother's kitchen? Whether you are a star chef, culinary arts student, home cook or foodie your passion for delicious food most likely stems from childhood memories of grandmother's cooking. Who can forget the smells and tastes of the foods which came out of her kitchen? If you are lucky enough to have those childhood memories, you are very lucky!
