Especially when cut into hearts, these chocolate coconut almond date energy bars make a nice little gift for your Valentine. And because I feel like we have been living in a sweets-saturated world since Halloween they are a welcome healthy Valentine's Day treat.

I LOVE oatmeal so I was excited at the opportunity to sample a selection of Better Oats instant oatmeal and create a recipe. As I enter the pre-school years and realize that I am now responsible for getting three people ready and out the door in the morning, I was intrigued by Better Oats which promises quick instant oatmeal in tasty flavors while still offering 100% whole grain, added flax seeds, real fruit and all the other health benefits of whole oats.

Rainbow cakes are everywhere these days. I made one last summer and my family and guests loved the bright, vibrant colors. But in the back of my mind I couldn't help but think of the negative discussion and controversy surrounding chemical food coloring. My husband was actually the one to challenge me to make a rainbow cake with natural food dyes.

One of my grandmother-in-law's specialties was Chicken Dumpling Soup. Dumplings come in many forms and there are many countries and cuisines that have some form of chicken dumpling soup. From what I can tell, these dumplings most resemble those found in Hungary and Poland.

El Toro Birthday Party

Fri, Aug 1, 2014

My younger son’s 3rd birthday fiesta fell into place at the last minute. His request was a “cow and horse” party. Doing a farm birthday party just didn’t seem to fit him and I didn’t want to repeat the cowboy theme which I had covered a few months prior with my older son’s Cowboy & Ninja Birthday Party. Then, it hit me. His zodiac sign is Taurus – the Bull. El Toro. Perfecto.
