Dear Little Man, Before my very eyes an entire half year has passed. Slipped by really. In a sleep deprived state, the last six months have passed in a blur. You have now, just finally, figured out that sleep is good for you. Actually, it took us that long to figure it out too. After [...]

Sweet Tooth Favorites, Valentine's Day Edition

Pretty much every Sweet Tooth Friday recipe I make right now is centered around one theme: Valentine’s Day. It’s just another excuse to make something chocolatey, you know? And I’ll take any excuse that I can get. Like… It’s Friday. It’s -7 degrees outside, I must turn on the oven to help heat the house. It’s Tuesday. [...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescent Rolls by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 22, 2012 Kid-Friendly

Peanut butter and jelly. That’s what the kiddo requests every day for lunch. I kid you not. Every. Day. On a good day I can get him to change it up a little with a Banana Boat, one of my childhood favorites. Perhaps an Apple and Peanut Butter Sandwich. If we are feeling really adventurous, a [...]

Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 19, 2012 Dessert

Love is in the air. As is snow. And cold wind. And icy rain. But mostly, it’s love, because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I can see the boxes of terrible chocolate flying off the shelves, purchase by husbands, boyfriends, significant others who don’t understand that all chocolate is NOT created equal. It’s [...]

Each week it gets harder and harder for me to pick my favorite Sweet Tooth Friday recipes. Partly because there are so many flipping delicious-sounding recipes.

Turkey and Apple Panini

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 15, 2012 Lunch
