This is a tricky way to get your kids to eat bananas…um, not really. There’s no tricking here. It’s chocolate, bananas, and peanut butter. It’s dessert! And what kid (or adult) doesn’t like dessert? These are so fun to make, but seriously…I need to stop. 1 recipe pizza dough 6 T cocoa powder 3/4 cup [...]

Perfect Roasted Potatoes
Any French fry loving kid will love roasted potatoes. They taste the same, but there is obviously no need to fry. I thought everyone roasted potatoes, but every time I make these for company, I am asked how I do it and there are never any leftovers. These are a great sidekick to burgers as well as a [...]
Ribs
Sometimes you just need some ribs. Okay, maybe you don’t, but they sure do taste good and are really easy to make and I like easy. Sprinkle some spice on them and walk away. What is easier than that? My big kids feel big when they eat them too because we don’t cut the meat [...]
Sugar Free Lemonade (Calorie-Free too!)
Does the juice of a lemon have calories? I didn’t think so. If it does, my apologies, but either way this nice twist to water, which we apparently are supposed to drink a lot of, is easy to whip up, refreshing and yummy and won’t make you fat. I am so excited for spring and [...]
Whole Grain Vegan Gluten Free Waffles
I recently went vegan for 3 weeks. I did it because I saw a couple of movies (one of them very popular) about the diet and thought it was worth a shot…just to see. I was expecting to feel amazing. Turns out, I already do. The diet did force me to get creative in the [...]

My plan was to make chicken like the buffalo barbacoa that my family loves. With just a couple of tweaks, this chicken turned out perfect. Just ask my family. My kids said this shredded chicken recipe was the best chicken EVER!! We all loved it, so I believe them. I served it on a bed [...]
Breakfast Calzones
We have family come from out of town a few times a year and I now know what I will be serving them when they come. This was also a great way to get my picky breakfast eater to get some protein and veggies in with her most important meal of the day. They turned [...]
Easy 5-Second Cheesecake Dip
It will probably take you longer to read this post than to make this delicious dip. Is it cheesecake? Nope. Does it taste like cheesecake? Yep. Does it have thousands of calories like real cheesecake? Nope. You’re welcome. 1 spoonful of coconut butter (might have to soften this in the microwave for a minute if [...]
Gluten Free Dairy Free Lasagna
Whenever I cook anything with tomatoes, the kids smell it and automatically think we are having pizza and get excited. Lucky for me they aren’t disappointed when they find out that isn’t what we’re having, because lasagna is almost as good and tastes a lot like it. There weren’t any leftovers in our small family [...]
Taco Salad
Growing up, my sisters and I had to take turns making dinner. They usually made fun of me, because every third day (yes, there were three of us) we would sit down to eat taco salads. Why? Because they’re great! The exact amounts aren’t included because they aren’t necessary. Use what you want, mix it up, [...]
