2-Ingredient Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
MY KIDS DON’T USUALLY DRINK JUICE. It’s just too sugary. If we’re going to have a lot of sugar, I’d prefer a big ol’ cake. Or better yet, some ice cream. Just go for it, I say. But the one exception is lemonade. Sometimes my husband makes a batch of fresh lemonade with the rascals. Sometimes…
3-Ingredient Strawberry-Peanut Butter Wraps
The idea for these easy strawberry-peanut butter wraps came from a new cookbook I’ve already grown to love,“Real Baby Food: Easy All-Natural Recipes for Your Baby & Toddler”.

homemade strawberry cereal bars with whole oats
I’VE TRIED TO MAKE BARS LIKE THESE BEFORE. A bunch of times. The results were too thick, too crumbly or just not flavorful enough. This time we got it right. Look out Nutrigrain bars, we’ve got a homemade version that’s fresher, less expensive and even yummier.
no-sugar strawberry apple fruit roll-ups (a homemade fruit leather recipe)
