Menu Plan for the Week + a Giveaway!
By**Be sure to take note of the giveaway at the end of the post!!**
We are having a very heart filled day. I wonder how old my boys will have to be before they start thinking heart shaped food is silly? My 12 year old still likes it (or at least acts like he does), so I think we have a few years left before heart shaped food on Valentine’s day becomes extinct at our house.
I made Matt (and everyone else) a special breakfast of Peach Cobbler this morning. I figure…it’s fruit and I make it with sucanat and whole wheat. It’s definitely healthy enough for breakfast.
I loved seeing Matt’s face when he came down to breakfast!
(The boys were in on it ahead of time and kept it a secret from Daddy!)
Here’s what we’re snacking on this afternoon…
Heart Shaped Homemade Chocolate Graham Crackers
There are still a quite a few truffles left, but someone has been attacking the caramel ones at quite an amazing pace. I have no idea who. {ehem}

I hope I haven’t missed the giveaway! I have recently switched my family over to nearly all homemade meals, and using only whole wheat and natural sugars in baking. Your website has a wealth of resources and recipes…and I can only imagine this ebook is chock full of them too!

I LOVE your baked goods recipes. I gave up on finding a good whole wheat choco chip cookie recipe until I found yours! I am not good at experimenting, so I’m thrilled to find someone who is good at it and seems to love it! thanks-

What a wonderful idea to have a healthy cookbook. Love it!
[Reply]
Thank you for the great Valentine’s Day healthful food ideas!

I haven’t tried this one yet, but it sure sounds yummy. I’m a fan of breakfast for dinner and dessert for breakfast type foods (so are my kids, of course!). Every recipe I’ve tried from your site has come out fabulous. I think my kids’ favorites are the graham crackers and the cheese crackers. We’ll try this one next!
[Reply]
I think I already posted, but I don’t see my reply. I’m very excited to give this book a try. I’m already starting to substitute some whole wheat flour and natural sugar in desserts, and then I don’t feel guilty for eating them!

Your blog has been one of the highlights of my days ever since stumbling upon it a few months ago. I’ve read your funny stories to my husband and kids, I’ve cooked many of your delicious and simple recipes, and I’ve personally been blessed and encouraged all along the way. Thank you for all you do for us!

Cookies are right where we are at the moment…looking for ways to replace the Betty Crocker shortening and tons of sugar ones! Your breakfast cookies are a favorite in these parts. In fact, we ate them this morning!
