There once was a time that I enjoyed a good store-bought Oreo. But that was before I realized exactly what was in one - oh, the days of blissful ignorance!

Healthy Holiday Recipe: Whole-Wheat Gingerbread Cookies
December 10, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Healthy treats, Recipes |
Calling these gingerbread cookies “healthy” might be a stretch since they contain a fair amount of butter and sugar. But they are made with 100% whole-wheat flour and contain no food dyes whatsoever.

At this time of year, I find it helps to keep some healthy treats around to satisfy those sweet cravings.

3-Minute Breakfast for Kids: Do-It-Yourself Microwave Oatmeal (Kids Cook Monday)
November 5, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Breakfast, Recipes |
For whatever weird reason, my kids go wild over packets of instant oatmeal (which they refer to as “Daddy oatmeal” as he is the one who buys it!). But I’m not too wild about the artificial colors and flavors and corn syrup sweeteners that go into most brands. So I was really excited when […] more
