My daughter was requesting bran pancakes one morning. I wasn’t in the mood to make the pancakes so I decided to make them into cake pops instead. For kids, eating lollipops for breakfast is always a fun thing! These cake pops are sweet, hearty and super healthy so everyone in the family can have a […]

Composting: Pollution Prevention and Fertilizer, Too
Last week I was off to California with my family for a little adventure when I spotted a curious site. A noodle shop I ate at with my girls didn’t have a garbage can; it had a compost bin and a recycling bin. Isn’t that amazing and baffling at the same time?! Now, I know […]
