I prefer to give my daughter homemade cookies and granola bars instead of store-made ones. That way I know what’s in them and how healthy they are.
These use [...]

My mom made Apple Raisin French Toast Strata (it sounds fancier than it is) over the weekend while my family celebrated Christmas, and it was awesome!
Everyone in my family loved it, even our picky two-year-olds. (Of course they liked eating Christmas cookies more, but who wouldn’t?) It is the perfect breakfast casserole to make the night [...]
