By Kleinworth & Co 15 Comments

This Blueberry Margarita Mocktail is just like your favorite blended margarita only non-alcoholic. Great Cinco de Mayo cocktail & virgin recipes.

It’s Mocktail Monday! So you know what that means – another fun mocktail recipe to keep you refreshed all through the hot months ahead. We spent so many years living in the heat of the desert that I have SO MANY refreshing recipes to share with you all.

The best part is that the majority of them are kid-friendly because I was usually whipping up a pitcher of something to take out to the patio to sip on while we cooled off in the pool. This week with Cinco de Mayo so close I thought I would bring you this Blueberry Margarita Mocktail.

Homemade Cherry Pie Filling

By Kleinworth & Co 4 Comments

Homemade Cherry Pie Filling is simple to make. Use it not only to fill your pies but it makes a great topping on cakes and ice cream too.

Do you love Cherry Pie this time of year?? I know my family does. For me- I don’t really like to wait for the pie itself- plus all that filling is a bit much for me.

I prefer to make the filling & use it to drizzle on other things- more like a topping than a filling. But the recipe for it remains the same.

Get your Crock-Pot, this Slow Cooker Corn Casserole is a simple 7-ingredient side dish recipe that is great for weeknight dinners & holiday feasts alike.

Life is crazy these days. I used to shop a couple of times per week, popping in whenever I remembered something or placing multiple pick-up orders a month. But I can’t really do that now.

I have been planning out my trips and making the best use of my visit to the store. One thing I like to do when I’m there is pick up things that make my life a little easier when it comes to dinnertime, like pantry staples to make recipes like this Corn Casserole that I make in the Crock-Pot & the pair it with rotisserie chicken.

Incredibly Easy Crusty Artisan Bread

By Kleinworth & Co 117 Comments

Incredibly Easy Crusty Artisan Bread is a simple, 4-ingredient homemade dutch oven bread recipe that is absolutely foolproof. Perfect alongside every meal. Pair with a delicious cinnamon spreadable honey & it’s pure heaven.

I love bread. It’s one of my weaknesses. I especially love artisan bread & extra points if it’s hot & fresh right out of the oven.

But I obviously can’t hang out in the bakery at the store all day long waiting for the bread to bake. So I try to make a couple of loaves at home at least a couple of times a week.

Recipes like this one are so easy that there’s really no excuse for me to have to go without anymore. I just mix the dough before I go to bed & let it sit. After we are done with the chaos of breakfast the next morning I pop it in the oven to bake. The house smells amazing.

But really – I can’t get enough & it seems I’m always picking up a bag of either the Milk Chocolate M&M’s or the Peanut M&M’s & then usually whatever specialty holiday version is out. Because…well, you know they just taste different when they are decorated for a holiday – right??!! 🙂

Cursive Handwriting Practice Sheets

By Kleinworth & Co 8 Comments

Teach your kids cursive handwriting with these Cursive Handwriting Practice Sheets. A great way for them to learn something they aren’t getting in school!

First, let me start off by saying that set out on my homeschooling journey 20 years ago. I have homeschooled my 3 kids since the beginning.

We taught our kids cursive handwriting from the beginning, long before the public schools were removing it from the curriculum. But when I found out that schools were doing this, I wanted to create a resource for parents so that they could still teach this vitally important skill. This is why I feel these Cursive Handwriting Practice Sheets are incredibly important.

You can make your own DIY Hand Sanitizer both with and without rubbing alcohol. Find instructions here and to make either a gel or hand sanitizing spray.

Let me first start by saying that when it comes to germs, nothing really comes close to the effectiveness of washing your hands. I’m talking a good, solid 20 seconds of scrubbing up with some warm water & suds.

But that isn’t always possible & germs are everywhere. With the recent run on hand sanitizer these days, we have to find alternate ways to make the things we need. I’m here to tell you that there are ways you can make your own bottles & tubes of hand sanitizer to help in the effort to kill those germs.
