Back to School Hacks - Breakfast and Lunch in a Cup!
What's not to love about two minute meals?!
Make it Monday with Fox 7
On this week's Make it Monday, we had such a blast with Lauren Petrowski, making two super easy dishes that can be eaten as breakfast OR lunch! No heating necessary.
Quiche in a cup - to be made by a toddler 6-9 yrs old
Or, as Rishaan likes to call it, eggs in a cup. Usually Rishaan makes his own eggs in the morning. However the one rule he has to follow, is an adult needs to monitor the gas stove operation, i.e. turning on and off. During the times I am occupied (or, still sleeping lol!) he likes to make them in a coffee mug. They just come out perfect in a quiche like consistency.

Enjoy folks! All those special hugs, those tears of joy, those heart heavy drop offs and pickups and so much more that a new school season brings.
Hero tour
We also announced that we will be going on a hero tour to share our story and sample wundernuggets at different grocery stores across TX for the next two months! How exciting is that :) It has been a long fun journey so far with Crafty Counter. What started as sharing our passion about food and smart eating, has finally culminated in bringing Wundernuggets to stores across Texas and nearby states.
Love and hugs
