Grandpa Russell’s Buttermilk Pancakes

Ground Turkey Teriyaki Stir Fry

Tasty and Kid Friendly We love this healthy, kid friendly ground turkey teriyaki stir fry recipe for weeknights. I have even made this recipe when my son has friends over as an alternative to other kid meals like pizza or chicken nuggets.  Calling it a "weeknight" meal sounds like it has to be rushed and something you want to get over with.  Such the contrary with this dish!  We have…

Simple French Toast

There are so many delicious and decadent French toast recipes out there.  If your kids are like mine, however, the simpler the better.  Adding nuts and new sauces to French Toast deters them quickly.  Just the good old fashioned bread dipped in mixture and cooked on a skillet is all they need. History of French Toast This recipe is also fun to explore in origin.  It is a little bit…
