Kristin’s Granola Balls

It’s full-on spring sport season around here. Lacrosse and track keep the older three Littles running full steam ahead and me running in circles! Snacks are of the essence and these easy, no bake granola balls are our go-to favorite. Perfect pick-me-ups in carpool or on the way to the field for practice, these healthy bites of energy keep us…

Banana Vanilla Oatmeal

Littlest is particularly fond of oatmeal. She loves overnight oatmeal and baked oatmeal. Now that she’s in kindergarten she’s eager to show off her measuring and mixing skills. Banana vanilla oatmeal is currently her favorite way to make breakfast for herself. If you have little ones in the house, let them experiment with this easy breakfast recipe. If not, don’t be intimidated…

My junk-food craving Littles, the same ones who refuse to take their beloved guacamole to school because friends make fun of it’s greenness, those same children of mine asked for Red Lentil Soup. Husband even came home from…

Nutter Butter Bars

I’m pretty sure this recipe came straight from Heaven. Heaven by way of  The Amateur Gourmet’s community website which attributes the recipe to Susan Silberstein’s cookbook Hungry for Health. When I gave the Littles a taste of these delicious bars one of them exclaimed, “These are even better than Nutter Butter Bars!”  After several test runs, I made only minor…

Market Monday: Roasted Blueberry Chipotle Sauce

I love how summer marks the Littles’ fingertips with purple, blue, and red tints from picking and eating berries by the basketful. Today is November 1st and fresh, seasonal fruit is slipping further and further out of reach as the cooler, shorter days of winter approach. But, there are still ways to enjoy hints of summer’s bounty in surprising ways….

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
