Our Favorites

These cookies are my dad's favorite so they will always hold a special place in my heart....and tummy :)

What could be more fun than mini waffles!??  I don't know either!  We got this cute little mini waffle maker as a Christmas gift and we're absolutely loving it.  We've already made more waffles than I care to admit haha.

If banana bread and coffee cake made love...the result would be these muffins!!  They are so good! The topping adds just a little extra sweetness to the muffin top making it even better.  You could do a crumb topping instead, but I find this is simple, delicious and easy enough for Noah to do himself.

This recipe is super easy and super forgiving.  There is really only one thing you need to be mindful of in order for your cookies to be perfect.

These are not the easiest of recipes...but they're so good I think you'll forgive it :) 

It's a big claim, and these cinnamon rolls absolutely hold up.  They are one of my favorite things I've ever made.  I have never, ever met someone who didn't like 'em.

This dip is the perfect balance of sweet, nutty and healthy!  We eat it with apples most often but it goes well with a lot of things.  The best part about this is it's quick to make and the kids can do it all.

I had no idea until recently how easy it was to make homemade gummy candy!  This is absolutely a fantastic easy recipe to make with kids of any age.  There is a basic recipe that can be easily adapted to make the candies sugar free or with less sugar.

These little cookies are so much fun.  I didn't expect too much out of them since I've never been too fond of meringue but I loved the idea of the simplicity of them.  Now that we've tried them...I'm definitely a fan!  The kids absolutely love these...I mean they're basically air and sugar.  They dissolve easily so even younger kids can eat these without concern of them choking.

If you've ever had a little too much pizza dough and didn't know what to do with it, I bet you've made yourself some kind of breadsticks.  I can't say why exactly but for some reason they seem to taste so much better in the form of garlic knots!  This is a great activity to do with kids, and while it is best to have your garlic forms somewhat uniform in size, you can tweak them just a little before throwing them in the oven. 

These rolls are to die for!  I hardly actually crave bread but I can't stop thinking about the tray of them sitting in my kitchen right now!  Fresh out of the oven...absolutely amazing!  

These quiche like little egg muffins are a perfect on the go breakfast.  I like the simplicity of making these with very few ingredients and that it's slightly healthier.  You can make them in any combination you want, and they cook up very easily. For the kids, we make very simple ones and then for mine I add in some extra veggies.

These snack sized pizza bombs are great for kids lunches, after school snacks, or an easy lunch/dinner!  I prefer making my own pizza dough so I am including the recipe here

This is the best pizza dough recipe I've ever used.  It's easy but it does take time to allow the dough to rise.  Pizza is one of the easiest meals to make with kids, but kick it up a notch by starting the dough together as well!  When making bread with my three year old son, after the dough has rested a while my son usually asks me, "Is the bread awake yet?  Did it finish it's nap?"
