Breakfast with visiting friends and family on a Saturday morning is a perfect time to make this dish. Think french toast, cinnamon roll casserole:

In a small bowl mix 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cube of butter and 2 Tablespoons of Karo’s light corn syrup. Spread on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix the following:

6 eggs (yes, that’s six eggs!)

1 Cup half/half

1 teaspoon vanilla

In a large bowl (sorry to have you dirty all these bowls!) put 1 loaf of cubed raisin cinnamon bread. Pour egg mixture in and mix. Add to baking dish and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until egg mixture is cooked. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, we immediately switched to drinking organic milk. It was so much more rich, thick and flavorful than regular!

Since then we’ve tried to buy organic whenever possible, especially with two healthy young boys in the house. But, as entrepreneurs on a tight budget, we find we can’t always afford the extra cost that understandably comes along with the advantages of small, local farming. Maybe you’re a “smarty parent” in the same boat…. well, here’s a little tip: Organic Valley offers coupons on its site and to those who sign up to their online community “Mothers of Organic.” They’re an amazing “co-op” of more than 1,000 small, organic farmers all over the U.S.

Happy eating!

Kudos to Cranium for coming up with this awesome idea…which we totally stole from their ad in Parenting Magazine ;o)

It’s Mix & Match Snack Time

What to do: Toss a variety of snack time ingredients onto a Piggy Platter and let the kids make their own creations. For instance, use rice cakes, peanut/almond butter and raisins and let the kiddos make their own silly faces. Or swap out the rice cakes for celery for good ol’ fashioned “ants on a log.”
