Oh soooo addictive: granola bars
Well, she’s here! Our second baby girl was born in late March and our amazing Mom’s Club helped feed my family the first month!! I remembered from our first how much help the homemade dinners were. But this time around, with a four year old to feed too, the dinners were a life saver. Just…

Mommy Power Bites (Lactation Cookies)
I hate to call these cookies and give you the wrong idea. These are not sweet like cookies but more satisfying like a great power bar.

Escabeche
Pickled jalapenos, carrots and onions used to be a food item I marveled at while my second dad devoured them. I remember thinking Yuck (which is a typical pre-teen’s response to anything their parents did that was remotely different). I can remember the vinegary smell and hearing the crunch of the carrots as he munched…
