Blueberries with a touch of maple, buttery topping with sliced almonds and a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt. Great way to start the day with a breakfast bowl. Or end a delicious meal with dessert. Use ice cream for the topping if you are feeling indulgent. Blueberries are a nutritional powerhouse no matter what time you eat them! This crisp comes together quickly but you will have to allow around 40 minutes for baking. Enough time to prepare the rest of the meal -- and check your text messages.

Maple Caramel Swirl Cookies
Warning. You won’t be able to stop saying “MMMM OOOH MMMMM!” while eating Maple Caramel Swirl Cookies. The slightly crisp cookie wrapped around creamy caramel is definitely for sophisticated palates.

One item on that short list was to teach them how to be self sufficient. Wheels share of that goal was to teach our children things like how to change a tire and how not to get lost. (Neither of which belonged on my side of the list. I still can’t change a tire – don’t tell the kids! I can argue with the GPS, though.) My share was to teach our children things like how to cook a meal and do their own laundry. (Let it be noted that Wheels does a great job at those self sufficiency things.) And that is why, when Mother’s Day rolls around I only want one gift. A homecooked meal that I don’t prepare. This year Bytes selected this dressed ... [Read More]
