I recently saw a post on The Nourishing Gourmet for using crayon scraps to make new crayons. So Rebecca and I tried it last week. It was so easy! And Rebecca loved it. It’s fun to use the new crayons. We call them rainbow crayons. You never know what color will show up 🙂 I …
Meal Plans Week of 9-30-12
Good (yaaawwnn) morning. I think Abram finally went back to sleep. He’s been up for about the last 3 hours 🙁 Time for another round of sleep training I think. He’s at the point where he doesn’t fall asleep when he nurses. So he has to figure out some way to self sooth. Hopefully it won’t …
Our Restaurant of Choice
Last night we ate at the best restaurant in town…Rebecca’s Restaurant. Or as she named it Rebecca’s Rainbow. Rebecca is becoming quite the little chef/baker/creator in the kitchen.

Chili Cheesecake

Banana Split Ice Cream
If you know me, you know I LOVE ice cream. I only eat my homemade ice cream since I know exactly what’s in it. My body does not tolerate all of the fillers, starches, etc. in store-bought ice cream. I’m always trying to come up with new flavors. On Sunday I had some cream that needed to …
Breakfast Cups
A couple weeks ago I made a simple breakfast for dinner. I made egg cups and french toast cups. They came together very quickly, and we all enjoyed them. I even got them prepped mostly one handed since that’s about the only way to make dinner without running into the other room every five seconds …
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
I’ve been wanting to make a batch of cinnamon rolls for some time now. I haven’t made any in years. I finally made some over the weekend. The recipe is from my MIL. I made a few modifications to meet our standards of healthy. They turned out great!! Rebecca declared them the “best breakfast I’ve …
