Snack boards are the solution to just about every problem! My kids come home “starving” every day, and they always get really excited when I pull out something fun like this rainbow snack board 🌈🌈🌈
I know snack boards can look like a lot of work, but the truth is, I just cut up some fruit and veggies, and lined them up in rainbow colors, literally, that’s it! I love this idea for St. Patrick’s Day! Quick, easy, and no more complaining! Mix it up and use whatever veggies and fruit you and your family like!
Basically, I was just looking for any reason to use sprinkles in my cookies!
This was an experiment that I thought would be fun to try with my son. He has been asking to make cookies every day! With St. Patrick’s Day on it’s way, I have been brainstorming fun ideas for things to bake up to celebrate. Sprinkles are always an easy way to add a festive touch, so I wanted to see if they would work IN the cookies. Well, it worked!! I can’t promise that these work with any sprinkles, but I used Fancy Spinkles for this. Their St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles are so adorable. Use the code FROMSCRATCHWITHMARIA15 for 15% off your order.
This is a fun one to get your kids involved with. You can see all of my tips for making chocolate chip cookies here! However, sometimes when I am baking with my kids, I let them take the reins and if the cookies end up a bit more dense, well, then they do. These are all about getting in the kitchen, teaching them to measure, stir, and simply be patient!

Is there anyone out there that didn’t make banana bread during quarantine? Funny enough, I have been testing out recipes for banana bread for years and finally locked one in. I have a recipe for banana muffins on here, but it definitely doesn’t translate into a loaf recipe.
It’s the olive oil, my friends, that’s the answer! Lots of banana bread recipes ask for oil and it puts me in a weird situation because I like how oil makes it moist but it doesn't add any value in terms of flavor. Coconut oil could potentially work, but then I feel like I should be on a tropical vacation with the mix of bananas and coconut. I would use melted butter, which is great for flavor but isn’t as moist as I would like. So, the moral of the story is, I tried some olive oil, and BOOM, heaven!
