Do you get stuck for after school snack ideas for the kids? I do! I don’t like to give them chips or cookies because they have no nutritional value. These pastry hotdogs may not be as healthy as an apple but the kids love them. Happily the hotdogs are really quick to make. Four sheets … Read more
I love my mini pizza supreme cookies! Obviously this is not a healthy lunch box recipe, but my kids thought these were awesome. I think if mother-of-the-year was up for grabs my children would have nominated me in a flash. Although something tells me serving sugar treats to kids would not secure a victory. Do … Read more
