My five kiddos love all types of fresh fruit and that makes me very happy, but sometimes we get a little bored and want to spice it up a little. This method of “baking” apples in the microwave is super fast and easy, it only takes a few ingredients and you can make as much [...]

When putting together our weekly meal plans I always like to have a breakfast for dinner night once a week because it’s a great way to reduce our grocery budget, since breakfast entrees are typically cheaper.

My quadruplets’ birthday is this week and somehow they always end up with a Halloween themed birthday party since they were born in October. I’ve made a ton of Halloween themed treats over the years, but so far these spiderweb cupcakes have been their favorite. I made three dozen of these to take to their [...]
