I had to share another homemade birthday gift I made recently. This one is for my super sweet niece who turned 4 this month. Funny enough, her 1st birthday was William’s due date. Of course, my sweet boy took his time coming out and was born one week late. But, they are still super close…

They are delicious served over whole wheat spaghetti or on a roll with provolone cheese. They are easy to make up and can be placed directly into the slow cooker or frozen for another day….
In an attempt to lighten my load on busy days (and fill my extra freezer), I have started weekly freezer sessions. My goal is to add at least one item to my freezer every week. Today, I made a double batch of double chocolate banana bread. Undoubtedly, only one of these will make it into…
