May 19, 2020 by Trina Marie Leave a Comment

Look no further for the ultimate cereal dispenser…

The Whisking Kiddos are over the moon excited for their new cereal dispenser by Honey Can Do. This amazingly cool gadget works like a charm. Currently, I do not have a pantry (I know crazy right!?) Eventually, when I have a pantry again I will be getting a second dispenser to fill with snacks (like small cheddar crackers and granola)….

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

March 13, 2019 by Trina Marie 2 Comments

In loving memory of Patryk Alexander his favorite recipe Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Early one morning, my son Patryk Alexander abruptly came running up to me (jumping excitedly) handing me a piece of paper. Staring at this piece of paper I felt perplexed and surprised all at once. My son knew how to use the printer at barley three years old, this was my intelligent son Patryk who figured everything out all on his own. Not only did he navigate the computer better than most his age, he began using the printer without hesitation (self taught). Patryk came rushing over to me, jumping happily and blurted loudly that we were going to make these Apple Cinnamon Muffins. I truly did not know how deeply I would hold on to this memory of making muffins with my son.

This apple cinnamon muffins recipe is adapted from Nick Jr.’s web site where my son loved to play. He did not really care for food much so this was the perfect set up to get him to try something new to eat. Well, Patryk not only liked, but he loved making them more than anything. It was a special memory for me, I hold on to these dear memories as tightly as possible. In those moments where I was cooking with my son we didn’t think about what doctors visits we would have that week or what level of pain he was feeling that day. I was just a mom, he was just my son and we were simply making muffins. These muffins are simple just like this memory….simple and perfect!

Get started creating memories with your little ones by baking this perfected recipe for scrumptious Apple Cinnamon Muffins.

My son Maxwell on the other hand….I can not keep food out of his mouth. The joy and excitement on his face before mealtime is quite funny. It seems as though each meal time is his birthday or a special celebration. Sometimes while desperate to snap him out of a tantrum I’ll say “I think its snack time” and sure enough he jumps up from whatever screaming fit and runs to his highchair giggling in excitement 🙂 I know I will not always be able to use this tactic, but for now it works. Years later making these Apple Cinnamon Muffins with my son Maxwell fills me with joy. I will continue to use this recipe as a gate way to tell beautiful stories of Maxwell’s brother Patryk. Now holding on tightly to these new memories of just my son and myself cooking, sharing memories of someone we love!

Highly encouraging you to pick a favorite recipe and make it your special family recipe. Give it a special name or make it at certain times of the year. This is a very easy way to show love and build memories with your kiddos. Hopefully, one day your babies will then pass on the family recipe and memories to there special little ones.

Time disappears so quickly, but memories last a lifetime!

My favorite way to enjoy these Apple Cinnamon Muffins is to slice it in half and spread fresh whipped butter on each side!

Cinnamon Toasted Oats

These Cinnamon Toasted Oats engulf your home with an aroma of pure bliss!

There’s something special about the smell of vanilla and cinnamon baking in the oven. The perfume of oats toasting in the oven is warming to the soul. Personally I’m a huge believer that smell can impact the mind and trigger happy memories, I’m no scientist, but I’m pretty sure there is science to back that up. So, I’ll take that and run with it, baking delicious smelling foods for my family when ever possible. Making huge batches of these Cinnamon Toasted Oats, during the cold start of fall mornings, could not be a more simplistic way to bring happiness into your home….

The Best Blueberry Pancakes

By adding a few simple ingredients you can transform your pancakes into The Best Blueberry Pancakes…

I love social media almost as much as I love blueberry pancakes. While scrolling through my Facebook news feed recently, I saw a friend who was making blueberry pancakes and reading her little one’s Curious George Makes Pancakes. Immediately, I ordered the book on Amazon to read the next time I was making a batch of delicious blueberry pancakes. This blueberry pancake and book duo could not be a better combination. I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to incorporate story time with our meals. One of my all time favorites was when I made Tacos that were served in my children’s Taco Trucks and read the story Dragon’s Love Tacos. Now my kids love taco night for more than just the obvious reason, tacos are awesome!…
