I'm a girl who has fallen into trying to make everything homemade nowadays because once you have kids you start to care more about what you are feeding them and what is in the products you are biying. Not that we don't go crazy every once in a while and have a sweet treat, in fact we do often, but I'm trying to be more intentional of what I feed them. These are recipes I love and my boys love. My oldest is VERY picky. I feel like they have a lot of prep work sometimes but they allow me to grab and go later instead of defaulting to buying something with not so great ingredients when we're in a pinch. Hopefully this is useful!
