After three days and two nights of no sleep and the inability to eat I finally finished the three of the four books from Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Series. I could not put the book down. The last time I was confined by a book was when Stephen introduced me to Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of…
I do not remember where I found this recipe. I thought it was in a book called Sugar-Free Toddlers by Susan Watson. When I went looking for the recipe to verify, I could not find it in the book. These little pancake sandwiches have been a favorite snack since Mason was a toddler. When my kids…

My kids could eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. When I was on Joythebaker.com I noticed a post for Cranberry Orange Almond Oatmeal and decided to give it a whirl. I think it was a little too gourmet for the kids. They did not like the orange peel. But…
