Sometimes, it’s difficult for me to pin La Jolla Girl down to eat breakfast, especially when I’m in a hurry. I thought I’d share what’s been helping us out lately just in case your kids are the same way.

The popsicle on the left is the apple pie recipe from the Zoku Quick Pops recipe book.  Honestly, I think it would be delicious and healthier to just use the apple part (1/2 cups each apple cider and apple sauce, dash of cinnamon and [...]

When you’re trying to develop kids recipes that don’t involve heat or sharp knives, you’d be surprised at how many options are eliminated by the presence of whipped cream.
