#TBT - Cooking with Kids
This was a popular post awhile back, and I am still trying to do a cooking project with my grandson when I watch him and his sister once a week. It is a little more challenging finding the right time since Iris is now taking one nap a day, and Augustine still needs some quiet time every afternoon (sometimes he sleeps and sometimes he doesn't).

Making Yogurt in a Slow Cooker
This is probably the easiest way to make your own yogurt, but it definitely takes a bit longer. That is not a problem for me, but for both Kayte and Rachael it is because their families eat the yogurt up quickly, making it difficult to keep enough made at any given time.

You can make it on the stove top, but I like to do mine in the slow cooker, cooking at least 12 hours and sometimes closer to 24 hours. You can also make two batches of broth from the same bones, but...

Weight Watchers Rerun #4
Once again I am rerunning a previous post giving suggestions and Weight Watcher's points for six different entrees for the upcoming week. This particular post includes two of my very favorite recipes, Mustardy Chicken and Rice and Black Bean Salad. They both are excellent made ahead, and the Mustardy Chicken freezes wonderfully. I like...
