I have lots of special memories baking with her from when I was growing up. She has a super, top secret recipe for chocolate chip cookies that is the best! But this one is pretty good too!

by: Ms. Whalen (Occupational Therapist) I am always looking for new and interesting ways to use fresh produce. I found this recipe on line and tried it out. It was amazing and very simple.

Tater Tot Casserole
by: Ms. Carr (School Psychologist) One of my children is a “meat and potatoes” guy. We were looking for more dishes to accommodate his somewhat limited palate when we heard that one of the former Democratic presidential candidates was feeding a version of this recipe to supporters, so we decided to try it.

3 Ingredient Strawberry Jam
by: Mrs. Tucker (1st grade teacher) A few years ago, I took a jam making class with my mom and my niece. I had never made jam before and felt a little intimidated because I knew we’d have to boil it just right and was worried about ruining it. It ended up being such a fun class and a great way to spend quality family time. This recipe is not the same one I learned in that class, but it’s a much simpler version and I think is something any family could make at home!
