I take a Mommy & Me class with my youngest at our preschool and they have seriously the BEST play dough I have ever experienced! The secret ingredient is peppermint extract that makes the play dough smell minty and lovely! It is such a hit with the moms and kids, that the teacher gave us her recipe along with a great holiday gift idea for little ones.
This was my first attempt at making my own play dough, and I have to say it was very easy and so fun!

Here is another fabulous recipe from Your Sus Chef (aka Susanne my lovely Tiny Oranges partner!) Sounds so yummy for an easy weeknight dinner and love her ideas for what you can do with the leftovers. Here is what she writes…
Seared Chicken Breast topped with Olive Tapenade & Goat Cheese
This way of preparing chicken breast is a great basic/quick preparation to make a delish, moist chicken breast for so many different types of meals!
If you have left over, serve this olive tapenade with crackers, your fave cheese + almonds for a fancy cheese platter, over some heirloom tomatoes + fresh mozzarella for an amazing salad or liven up your fave sandwich by spreading a little on your bread.
Ok friends, here is recipe #4 in my I Hate to Cook series of easy recipes.
I actually served this at a dinner party recently and pulled it off as a semi-fancy dish! Well, dinner party might be an exaggeration, it was just for my sister and her husband, but I actually cooked something to serve to people other than my husband, which for me was a big accomplishment!
It was a SUPER easy meal to serve when guests are over because you can prep the fish ahead of time and put in the fridge until time to bake. Same thing for a weeknight dinner, you can prep during baby’s nap time or when the kids are at school, and just pull out to bake. Love recipes I can do ahead of time! Here goes…
