My daughter has recently gotten really excited about being the kitchen! It makes me so happy that she is developing a love of cooking and baking and that it is something we can do together. Of course, she much prefers baking to cooking so our most recent recipe was for Raspberry Crumb Bars.

We love hosting parties or just having people over to hang out at the last minute on a weekend. Whenever I have people coming over, I like to have at least a few snacks for them to eat while we talk or watch tv. One of the easiest things to serve is dip with either bread or chips. My newest favorite is triple cheese kale dip because, well, it has three cheeses in it. You can totally call it just kale dip though to make yourself think you are eating vegetables!

Last year, we made the decision to upgrade our appliances and add some stainless steel to the mix. Since I have two young kids (7 and 4) and do a ton of cooking and baking in the kitchen, I was a little worried about they would work out. My dark counter tops constantly need to be wiped down to avoid looking messy and I wanted to avoid that with my appliances. I took the leap though and do love the appliances. I don’t love seeing fingerprints or food smudges on it though which, with kids and a busy kitchen, is just inevitable. You can totally see what I mean
We even find a way to get fingerprints and grime on the ice dispenser.

We love music in our house. If the iPad isn’t playing on our playlists, H is usually singing a random song she has made up in her head. Even E loves to play with all kinds of musical toys or dance around the family room when music is playing. We use music to get them interested in activities all the times because it seems to work so well. That is the idea behind one of my favorite new things in our house: Tooth Tunes.

Around here, we are always trying out recipes for new foods or drinks. I love creating new recipes that my family loves and that taste delicious too. We all know that what we eat and drink impacts our lives but I often forget how it impacts things like my teeth!
There are a few items that have the biggest impact on teeth when it comes to food and drinks. Five big culprits are
Many of those items are things you just can’t escape in cooking. Plus, they taste so good! So, I decided to try and find ways to help reduce the impact those foods and drinks have on how radiant my teeth look.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. If I am not cooking dinner for my family or creating recipes to share here, I am chasing around my kids during their multiple snack times throughout the day. All of those things lead to one major battle: keeping food off the floor and our house free of ants. My oldest is 6 and does a pretty good job of keeping most of her snack on the plate. My youngest, though, things that all food should end up on the floor at some point.
Think I am kidding? Check out what our floor looks like after pretty much any snack…these were the items he thought were meant for throwing and then promptly stepped on. Blueberry juice and crushed Pirate Booty for the win!

I had some crazy teeth as a child. Extra teeth, gaps and just a whole lot of crazy stuff going on in my mouth. {Don’t worry…I’ll save you from the horror and NOT share any of those photos.} Despite all the craziness and constant trips to the dentist and orthodontist, my mom was adamant that I would not get cavities and would brush what felt like a gazillion times a day.
Now, that I have kids of my own, I totally get why my mom focused so much on keeping my mouth spit spot as Mary Poppins would say. Seeing my kids smile is one of the ultimate rewards of parenting and I want to do everything I can to help them keep that smile healthy.

Once the weather turns warm, I pretty much rely on our grill to cook all of our food. There is literally nothing like enjoying a nice evening on the deck with a delicious meal from the BBQ. Of course, a lot of those meals leave super messy hands behind after the stomachs are long full. I like to keep a supplies on hand to make it easy to eat outside and clean up while we are there too. I toss a few necessities into a little metal tub and it becomes our summer dinner “emergency kit.”
