Banana Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal
One of the biggest misconceptions about homeschool families is that we have more hours in the day than other families. SOOOOOOOooohoooohooooo not true.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole

Most of your kiddos have started classes again and I’m sure the days are starting to run together. Well, in case they are, I’m sharing one of my favorite, easy-to-make, easy-to-drink morning meals….

French Fries with Rosemary and Lemon Aioli
Aioli is quite similar to mayonnaise, but this version is heavy on garlic and lemon flavors. A dip for crisp and fluffy french fries, it’s a recipe you need to know.
