Dates are very nutritious and have a lot of health benefits. They are very high in fiber, fight diseases, improve heart health, act as a natural sweetener, and the list goes on.

The weather outside is still brisk and chilly which calls for warm comfort food for family dinner. This is a great time to have a nice hot casserole, something to warm your insides. Or like our grandparents used to say, “Something to stick to your stomach and keep you full.”

Have you ever found that your bananas ripen before your family can finish them? Is your family tired of banana bread? Are you searching for another way to use them for a tasty purpose? These squares are DELICIOUS and sooooo easy to make!

I recently sat down with my mother-in-law and asked her to give me one of her family recipes. I do not know if it is like this in your family, but in ours she has some pretty yummy recipes, and they are all family ones.

The kitchen is the family hub in many ways for the homeschooling family. It’s the place to share meals, learn at the table, use food items for experiments, have conversations about everything and ideally join together to make meals.

Sometimes as moms, we are so busy taking care of our family that we barely have time to eat. We may grab a nibble here and there, but our main focus seems to be on everyone else. You can likely relate to this on the days when you’re homeschooling AND trying to keep up with the household chores.

Sometimes, you just need a quick and easy recipe for a last minute get together. With homeschooling my daughter, I know sometimes the day seems to get away with me. Add to that the housework and meal planning and my day is pretty full. I love that I get to be the one to teach my daughter her curriculum and also implant in her life skills.

Would you like your children to make better food choices? Maybe you’d also like to make a few better food choices! Getting some knowledge in what our body needs to function well and what foods are quite detrimental to a healthy body is an effective way resist the draw of unhealthy snacks and meals.
