Easy Cold Treats
The weather is hot, and so the kids are always asking for something cold to snack on. And of course if I want them to go outside, I’d better be ready to cool them off during or after. Otherwise they won’t give me any peace to do anything else.

Should You Be Worried About the Food Supply?
If you listen much to the news right now, you’ve probably heard some stories about various Costco and Sam’s Club locations rationing rice, flour or oil purchases.

The holidays are an expensive time of year, on the whole. All the food, presents and travel really add up. But if you can stock up for other parts of the year, it can be a great time to do so.
For example, even though I’m not hosting Thanksgiving in my home, I bought a turkey. [...]
Healthy Lunch Ideas for School
I’ve really been enjoying being able to choose what my daughter has for lunch at school. It’s been a bit of a challenge to my creativity, especially when I didn’t think about it the night before to ensure that basic ingredients would be ready.
Those are the days I resort to chicken soup in a thermos. [...]
How Much Do Kids Prefer McDonald’s?
Apparently a lot. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s real food from McDonald’s or carrots put into a McDonald’s wrapper. They’re pretty significantly preferred, as a rule.
I know my kids adore McDonald’s food. They don’t get it nearly as often as they’d like - once a month or so, unless we’re on vacation and eating [...]
