Thank you for sharing your fun idea with your grandchildren! It couldn’t be more timely.
Our daughter, her husband , 4 & 6 year old boys & a baby girl are coming to stay with us for 6 months. We are very excited to have this very special time with them.
The boys have been counting sleeps until they come. They have already said they want to help make bread & ice cream. Wait till they hear we’ll be making food from the different states. 🙂 Blessings to you & the family!

Sounds like you're in for a really sweet and special time, Barb! I love that the boys are "counting sleeps"! That's so cute!
I will continue to share some of our "school recipes"! The children said both the brownies and the pizza were "good for the blog"! 😂

The fresh tomato basil soup recipe is awesome! I ended up roasting the tomatoes prior to adding them to the second batch of soup. Even more delicious!
Thank you for your very reliable recipes!
