A Cozy Kitchen Handle the Heat » Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes - StumbleUpon Stuffed Nutella French Toast with Strawberries Now that the Super Bowl is over, I’m ready to share a few Valentine’s Day goodies with all of you. I know that not everyone celebrates it, many saying it’s just a consumer driven holiday, etc. I thought the same thing until I realized that Valentine’s Day can be more than just a romantic holiday when you make it about all the people you love. This French toast is obviously meant to be a breakfast item, but it could easily double as a dessert.

Iron Rich Foods Updated April 07, 2014 Fortunately, iron deficiency anemia isn't as big a problem as it once was. The use of vitamins, iron rich baby foods, and/or iron fortified baby foods have helped both breast feeding babies and babies who drink an iron fortified infant formula avoid becoming anemic from a lack of iron. Iron deficiency is still a problem for some kids though, especially toddlers who are picky eaters and drink too much milk and not enough iron-rich foods. In general, your child should eat at least two or more iron-rich foods each day. Iron-Rich Foods Iron Rich Baby Foods At first, unless your baby was premature or is already anemic, your baby will usually get all of the iron she needs from breast milk or an iron-fortified infant formula. Iron Fortified Foods In addition to foods that naturally have a lot of iron in them, many foods are now fortified with iron or have iron added to them.

Kalyn's Kitchen Caramel Brownie Cheesecake This is a monkeyhead concoction so please don’t be disappointed with me that it’s not 100% homemade. Sometimes as a mom you have to go with your childrens ideas in order to lift their creative wings. Monkey One loves cheesecake and caramel, Monkey Two has a passion for brownies you put the two of these knuckleheads together and look at what they come up with… Caramel Brownie Cheesecake. You gotta love the way these boys think. To see their vision come to fruition we used one of our favorite brownie mixes, a no bake white chocolate cheesecake recipe from Williams-Sonoma and we tried Jamie’s homemade caramel recipe from My Baking Addiction. My girl has it going on in the kitchen y’all, get ready to drool. M2 loves his brownie mix above because while I’m at work he can whip up a batch with my surfer and feel like he has stepped out of his sous chef role into the postion of head honcho. While the boys made the brownie mix I lined a springform pan with parchment paper. Voila! Hugs & Kisses,
Fluffernutter Bars | Bakers Royale - StumbleUpon I should warn this is basically Fluffernutter on steroids, so aside from melting marshmallows and folding in some peanut butter, I also threw in chopped up Nutter Butter, chopped up Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and mini marshmallows. It’s like peanut butter fudge meets a Fluffernutter. Fluffernutter Bars This past weekend was madness for us. I came from work on Friday night and Matt stopped me before I could come in to tell me some heartbreaking and painful news that’s too difficult to share until we can resolve it. So being the weekend and without any resources to handle what has come our way I baked through the night for some calming therapy. Thank goodness for baking and blogging to calm my racing mind while I wait for Monday to come. Cole has no idea what is going on, but I still wanted to give him a little piece of sweet happiness, so I made these bars for him since he absolutely loves Fluffernutter.
