Most of us 30 somethings grew up with the soothing, mild-mannered, sweater-loving man named Mr. Rogers. Every kid dreamed of being his neighbor. He loved helping children learn while having fun in a calm and relaxed environment.
A Spanish organization called Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation has created an ad that shows two seperate messages. One message is for adults and the other is for kids.
If you are looking for a fun and easy treat you can make with your kids, then this is for you. Speaking as a mother of small children, I can attest to the the popularity and convenience of fruit snacks. My boys love them in their school lunches, as snacks after school, or just an anytime snack.
If you’re looking for a way to take an old standby and make it a little healthier, then this is a great recipe for you. Somehow you can make muffins without sugar or flour and they can still manage to taste good. My boys love these muffins, but I have to admit that they usually con me into throwing some chocolate chips into the batter. So, if you feel like being healthy, but still treating yourself, then feel free to toss in a handful (about a 1/2 cup) of chocolate chips too.
I’m not a huge peanut butter fan or a huge fudge fan, but my husband is both. Fudge is one of those desserts that people seem to think is hard to make, but it’s actually not that difficult. I like to make this for my husband when he does something nice for me, or if I’m feeling especially loving that day. My boys prefer it if I substitute chocolate chips for the peanuts. Either way, this easy fudge recipe makes all the boys in my house happy.
I want to start out by saying that I don’t condone eating donuts or junk food all the time, but every now and then, or on special occasions, I do enjoy eating a donut. I especially love homemade donuts on a weekend morning. There is nothing better than a homemade donut and a tall cup of joe to start off a lazy Saturday. This recipe has got to be the easiest way to make homemade donuts ever.
Most college athletes eat, sleep and breath their sport. They have worked hard to be able to compete in their sport at a college level, and many have received scholarships for their hard work and talent. Endless hours of training and practice consume a college athlete’s life. So, why would one such athlete give up his last chance to enjoy the sport he loves, and in his senior year no less? To save someone else’s life.
