3 Minute Slow Cooker Macaroni Cheese

I annotate almost every recipe I use. I add what I adapted, what actual measurements I used, and what I thought of the taste. This recipe has one comment: “I thought I’d died and gone to cheesy heaven”. This is one of my favourite recipes ever. I mentioned it on Facebook last week. You asked […]

Easy Valentines craft (or any time) for the craftphobic parent

I’ll admit it: these days I mostly love crafting with my kids but it has definitively NOT always been that way (it’s a long story how things changed) so I know how stressful craft with tinies can be. Last week I had a nasty bug with fever and stomach cramps, one kid home sick from school and […]
