Make your summer a bit more memorable this year with a Phineas and Ferb summer bucket list! Build a rocket, fight a mummy and give a monkey a shower!

Make Your Own Yogurt Drinks
I buy yogurt almost every time I go to the grocery store. Fridge packs for school lunches, larger tubs to scoop out and add to smoothies, and whole milk baby yogurts for Ruby. I eat it every day too. My kids love the drinkable yogurts that come in a 6-pack, but I rarely buy them because I think they are over-priced. Then I got to thinking that all it is is yogurt diluted down. How easy is that? It would sure taste better if we used our ... Read More about Make Your Own Yogurt Drinks
Spaghetti with Brown Butter and Mizithra Cheese {a lighter version}
My all time favorite pasta dish has always been the Spaghetti with Brown Butter and Mizithra Cheese that is made at the Spaghetti factory. Until I had it there, I hadn't ever heard of Mizithra (or Myzithra) cheese. The flavor is amazing! I splurged and bought a package of cheese when we went there last time, but IÂ have also purchased it from the specialty cheese section at the grocery store. If you are local here to Sacramento you can find it at Sprouts.My kids absolutely love it and ... Read More about Spaghetti with Brown Butter and Mizithra Cheese {a lighter version}

Looking for a quick treat to put together to fill that late night craving for chocolate? What? You don't eat after 7pm? I wish I had that much will power. Well, for the rest of us, here is one of my favorite treats. And I made these at 7:30 tonight because I realized that I didn't have any sort of dessert in the house. And it's Saturday night.
