Now that Cooper is old enough to try purees, I'll be posting some of the different foods he's going to be trying. We were given the OK to start solid food at his 4 month old check up, but we decided to wait a couple weeks. I wanted to make sure he was ready - watching us… Continue reading Baby Food: Butternut Squash
I love tomato soup but I usually don't make it since I'm the only one that eats it....until now! This recipe is perfect and my daughter and husband both loved it.

I used my peeler/corer/slicer and quickly went through 6 apples and got them ready for drying. My… Continue reading Apple Chips

I love spinach artichoke dip and this casserole totally reminded me of that! It's comfort food all the way! I was surprised my daughter gobbled it up. She usually turns her nose up at artichokes but I cut them into bite sized pieces that I don't think she even realized they were in there. When… Continue reading Spinach Artichoke and Chicken Casserole
