My daughter, Lainey, is a snacker, especially when she gets home from school.  Honestly, I don't think she ever touches her lunch. That's why I try have healthy homemade snacks on hand and I use this Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bar Recipe to make her tasty treats with nutrition baked in.

What I love about these granola bars is how easy they are to make, and how chewy, nutty, and chocolate-y they are without being too sweet. Plus, they are filled with lots of good stuff: plain peanut butter, walnuts, flax seeds (yes, I sneak these in), oats, a little bit of honey, and dark chocolate.  The only problem is that my husband and I like them even more than my daughter does, and we can polish them off before she gets home from school!

If you've seen the wonderful Disney movie Coco then you'll know what a magical story it is and what a beautiful message it leaves in everyone's heart.

Coco parties are becoming incredibly more popular here at Catch My Party. They are fantastic for anyone having a birthday at this time of year with Day of the Dead, happening starting October 31st.

Last Wednesday, my husband and I picked our daughter up from school on her early dismissal day (1:05pm), and we all headed to Chuck E. Cheese's for a mid-week break. It really felt like playing hooky!

Wednesdays are usually one of our busiest days filled with school, after school activities, work, homework, laundry, etc.

I once saw a cooking show where an old French woman in Provence made this amazing homemade aioli using just five ingredients (garlic, lemon, salt, egg yolk, and olive oil) and a mortar and pestle. What she was doing looked so effortless and old-school. And it looked so delicious when she was done. I knew someday I'd have to try it, to see if it actually was that effortless and delicious.

If you know me, you know I love cooking with the freshest ingredients. So off to the farmer's market I went to get my garlic and lemon for the aioli, and my tomatoes, basil, and rustic rye bread for the sandwich.
