My father was the pancake cook in my house when I was a kid.  He made the best pancakes ever, but his pancakes were the plain round pancakes.  I love pancakes and I adore breakfast food in general.  I love to make special breakfasts for my kids once in a while just because or to celebrate something really cool.  I had my kids start doing chores this past month.  I… more

I love bananas and I love sushi!  When I saw this cute banana sushi pin on Pinterest, I got excited, until I clicked through to the recipe and saw they used wheat bread.  We eat gluten free as a family for my son Tristan and gluten free bread does not and would not wrap around a banana like wheat bread does.  I tried to make some banana sushi using rice tortillas,… more

Homemade Strawberry Fruit Leather

Strawberry Fruit Leather

As a child I loved fruit roll-ups and my mom sent them in almost all my school lunches.  When my children got old enough I planned on buying them fruit roll-ups, but when I read the label of ingredients it saddened me to see all the chemical, colorings, and unhealthy ingredients in them.  Recently I pinned a roll-up recipe by The Copycat Cook and I realized I could make my… more

Muddy Play Date and Raw Gluten Free Energy Balls

This past February my kids and I went to a play date with lots of other mama’s and their kiddos.  The play date started inside with kids playing with musical instruments, dolls, and blocks.  The hostess made delicious fruit and veggie smoothies for all of us to drink and other mom’s brought snacks.  Seasonally, it was an unusually warm morning with temperatures already into the high 60′s.  We collectively rounded up… more

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Inspired-Housewife!  Today, I tried to make a four leaf clover cake pop, but it simply did not turn out.  I got creative and made a little leprechaun cake pop.  I think he is rather cute considering I only made a handful of cake pops in my lifetime.

Frozen Banana Bites and School Lunches

Frozen Banana Treats

I made my own school lunches when I was eight years old, not because my mom was too lazy, but instead I did not like what she packed.  Most kids would have given their right arm for my mom’s school lunches, but I did not like chocolate pudding, potato chips, or other sugary foods.  Oddly enough, I was a kid who made cheese and tomato sandwiches, packed carrots, nuts, and… more
