Makes 16 oz of smoothie When we make this smoothie, one of us will do the full lip curl and explain to the kids that we’re making an “almond butter and ‘nana smoothie.” Grown-ups think this is funny because there used to be a famous singer that said things like that,...
Serves 4 One cool fall morning we woke up and decided we needed a warm drink to get us through the day. Cole came up with the idea to make his very own version of a winter drink using some pumpkin and apple juice. The boys loved pretending they were drinking coffee,...
Makes a quart of apple tidbits This recipe is just like our Apple Rings, only it adds cinnamon and makes the apple pieces into little tidbits, perfect for munching on and adding to trail mixes. With the addition of cinnamon, these are deliciously tasty. We like this...

Serves 4 Goose and duck eggs have large, nutrient-rich egg yolks. Did you know they are a wonderful combination of fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals that your body loves to absorb to help your body and brain grow? When we found goose eggs at our local farmers’...
