Much has been written about how to handle children who are picky eaters. Hiding vegetables, putting ketchup on everything, resorting to bribery or just giving in to the handful of things your child will eat. I’ve seen the shows, skimmed the books and read the blog posts.

I consider myself a feminist.
Kids just love waffles, especially when they have a tasty dip to dunk them in. In this healthy waffle recipe, I swapped out the sugary syrup with a tasty yogurt dip that you can put together yourself.
If I were to pick a favorite comfort food, I would have to say it’s cereal. Nothing lifts me up more than a bowl of Frosted Flakes (or Shreddies, or Honey Nut Cheerios, or Mini Wheats, or…) drenched in milk. And as much as I love cereal, my kids love it more.
Winter is coming to an end. (Well, maybe not outside, but the calendar says spring is coming soon!) And that means that the spring time change is just around the corner.
