Today I’m excited to share one of our family’s favorite recipes: Kid Friendly Honey Bread. I’ve been meaning to share this on the blog for, like, years, but just never got around to it.
Yes, the recipe is called kid friendly because my kids love to eat this bread. But, more importantly, this is a super easy recipe that your kids can make with you.

A big soft, warm sugar cookie. For breakfast.
That’s what was on my mind as I woke up to a ridiculously cold house after the first cold snap of the season.
Something about that first taste of bone-chilling Midwest cold puts me in that winter holiday sort of mood.
Which is why I decided to kick up my morning oatmeal with a little something extra.
Sugar Cookie Oatmeal: it’s as good as it sounds.
All the hearty and healthy goodness of my regular oatmeal, but even more sweet and delicious.
To prepare this breakfast goodness, start with a cup of rolled oats, and mix in a mashed banana and 1-2 tablespoons of almond butter.
I was just out of college when I discovered the magical soup that would be the almost-cure to about 50% of any illness that would plague me through my young adult life.

Today I’m going to share a delicious meal I’ve found myself making on the regular this summer: Avocado Toast Sandwich.
I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier lately because, well, swimsuit season. But, this sandwich is so good, you’ll make it even when you’re not trying to be good. Plus, it’s great for picnics and on-the go lunches…which is great, because it feels like we’re always on the go.
Happy Independence Day weekend!
Today I’m sharing a cool and festive adult treat for patriotic entertaining: Red, “Wine” and “Blue Popsicles.

Moms who want to get in and out of the kitchen quickly, you’re going to love these vanilla almond sugar cookies! The texture of soft almond sugar cookies just can’t be beat and they are so simple to make.
As you may or may not know, I am not the girl who will make a recipe twice if it’s complicated. Not only that, but I tend to ruin sugar cookies. Yes, it’s true. They came out dry, thin, and don’t even get me started on the way my cut out cookies would look when they didn’t hold their shape!
Let’s just say the kids were not impressed. If you have a history of sugar cookie Pinterest fails like me – there is hope. These sugar cookies with almond extract are here to save your baking reputation.
Recently I attended a holiday party at my friend’s house and she kindly passed the recipe to me when she noticed I couldn’t. stop. eating. them. Oh my gosh, the flavor!
They were perfect vanilla almond sugar cookies. Soft, thick, and just a little chewy. There are so many creative ways to decorate them too!
My favorite part of this recipe is that this dough doesn’t have to be refrigerated before cutting out cookie shapes – it’s perfect for impatient bakers like me! Or, you know, your kids. Ahem.
As soon as I got my hands on that recipe, I had to try making them myself. So easy. The kids loved making the different Christmas shapes and decorating them and the time spent together in the kitchen was a total mom win.
