Bagle pizzas

So I been doing these for awhile now. They are great for little kids. They are cheep and easy. Kids can help. Great for parties and adults even like them.  Oh and hubby and I are drinking sparkling apple peach. So no alcohol.
Ingredients
- bagles
- pizza sauce
- cheese
- pepperoni (or any kind of toppings)

Instructions
- set the oven to 350° F
- separate bagles in half
- place bagles on cookie sheet
- spread pizza sauce on each bagle. Be a little generous expecially with gluten free bagles.
- you can either do the cheese first or the toppings. I've done both. But decorate the bagles
- cook until cheese is melted I usually do about 25 min
- if want can dip done pizzas in sauce or preferred dip.

Enjoy!

Baby cookies

This is an amazing recipe that my son can't get enough of and I think it's pretty good. If your like me you have a lot of baby cereal. I have some lying around from baby shower and some I bought to try. My son didn't like the baby cereal so I still have a tone. They are healthy for babies. Best when babies have teeth or used to some pieces.

Ingredients
-1 banana or 1/4 cup of applesauce or jar of baby food
- 1/4 cup of butter softened or coconut oil
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup dry infant cereal
- 1/4 cup flour (Any that's your favorite. Keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs the moisture.)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- (Optional) cinnamon

Directions
- preheat oven to 375°F
- grease cookie sheet
- combine fruit, butter, and egg yolks until well mixed
- add dry ingredients mix
- roll into small small balls there going to be for little kid hands
- place on greased cookie sheet
- flatten with fingers
- bake for 10 min for fluffy cake like or 15 for more crunchy

Enjoy!!

New years idea

For the past few years, I been answering questions about the year before. I don't know where I originally found the list of questions but it's great. And it's something that's nice to look at at the end of the year.  What's nice is that it works for all ages. Yes you may need to help a younger kid write but that's about it. So here it is. Just remember to change the year each year. I did space it out a little so there's room to write. And remember to have fun!
