Easy Apple Pie Recipe
I was looking around today for a recipe that my son and I could do together. I have a ton of apples and thought maybe I would try my hand at making an apple pie from scratch, complete with pie crust. So, I went on the hunt for an easy apple pie recipe and simple crust that my son could help with.
I would just like to share what I found because I believe in passing on things that work out well. Besides, there is a lot of chopping and rolling and stuff to do that having that second pair of hands Read more [...]

How to Make Donuts-Choosing the Best Donut Maker
One of the things I like to look for is projects that my little guys can do. Since we go to Tim Horton's way too often for coffee and donuts, I thought it would be a good idea to teach my boys how to make their own donuts. In this way, you can control the amount of sugar, and ingredients that go into them and skip all of the bad things like any preservatives or additives that could cause your children harm.
There are several donut makers on the market today and trying to decide between them can Read more [...]
Homemade Ravioli
One of the satisfying things to eat is your own homemade ravioli. Many people think that making pasta is too hard but if you are properly prepared and put in the effort, it is a fun experience.

Ravioli is one of my favorite things to eat and Read more [...]
