Can we talk about bringing birthday treats to our kid’s school for a minute?
It’s a near artform to find the right balance in a school birthday treat won’t leave the kids bouncing off the wall while the teacher glances at your with narrowed eyes and will be ok for the peanut allergy / gluten sensitive pupils . . . but still also be fun enough to feel celebratory.
I am on the opposite end of the spectrum of the crafty cooking mom who can pop into the kitchen and whip up a low/free everything banned at school cake. But, what I lack in baking skills I make up for in strides with creativity. That’s why I’m sharing with you one of my kids favorite recipes, invented especially for school birthday celebrations, 5-Minute Honey Banana Sushi.
A few weeks ago we went to a major league game and had the best time enjoying the game, festivities food and sunshine. If you haven’t been to San Diego in June you need to at least once in your lifetime. Even with our notorious “June gloom” the weather is still warm and Jacarandas trees are in full bloom it turns the city into a painted masterpiece. The jacaranda tree fully flowers into a majestic purple bloom that is breathtaking.
