The three-year-old loved pouring the mix onto the griddle. Sometimes you can get little ones to eat things (like eggs) they won’t normally eat if you make it fun.

How does spending a few days away from your routine at home affect your eating? If you’re like me, it throws you off balance. You tend to give in easier to less nutritious foods like queso and chips, donuts, and few veggies. Like theRead More →
