Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola
This blog post was sponsored by Starbucks® but the opinions are completely my own based on my experience. These Apple Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Fall Flavors Granola were inspired by Starbucks® Fall Flavors, now available at Walmart. During the Fall season so many changes can occur that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with daily rituals. Typically in the summer months the kids are home with me throughout the day and the summer season is slow for work so Mr. Harris is home a lot more … [Read more...]

Nights are getting darker a little earlier, we've already had our first school … [Read more...]
Mini Pear Apple Pie
Well the first day of fall has come and gone so I'm ready to announce the official start of baking season. That's right: it's all about cookies, cakes, and we must not forget the pies! I must say, I love a good pie, with a nice flaky crust; and I thought I'd celebrate the kick off to the fall season with some decidedly seasonal fruits that just scream AUTUMN to me. That's right, pears and apples. I just love these two flavors together, when the pears are just slightly sweeter than the apple, yet … [Read more...]

For our high schooler, football practice has been going on since June, but very soon the high school football games will be underway and for a houseful of (mostly) boys, this … [Read more...]

Apple, Coconut & Carrot Breakfast Muffins
I love having muffins in the house for my family. They're so convenient for kids to grab and snack on, or to take along for a quick breakfast on the go. You can combine so many different flavors and combinations, it's pretty hard to go wrong! Not only that, but they're fun to make! These particular muffins have come a long way since I made my first batch. Back when I first made them, I followed this recipe by Weelicious which is absolutely more guilt free than my version. They were nice, but I … [Read more...]
