Annabel Karmel is practically a celebrity in Great Britain. She is a bestselling author, a TV personality, and the mother of three. Her fame comes from her cookbooks that focus on nutrition for families and cooking for babies and toddlers. I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Karmel's Favorite Family Meals, a cookbook originally published […]
I've been trying to clear my pantry of processed, sugary, and fatty snack items. In their place, I'm putting organic, healthy, and natural treats that still taste good (and, actually, usually taste better). One snack category that most kids love is the "fruit roll-up"-type.

I just stumbled upon Menus 4 Moms, a website that offers, "FREE weekly menu plans with 5 nights of dinner menus including recipes and grocery list." Many companies offer similar services...but at a cost...so I was happy to find this one. I just got my first week's worth of meals in my inbox. My menu […]
From the Earth's Best website: "Earth's Best Sesame Street snacks...are fun, wholesome products fortified with 8 or more essential vitamins and minerals including calcium, iron, zinc and B vitamins."
