For the longest time I have been making Kinda Like Muffins for the kids. They are the ultimate grab-n-go snack and always stocked in the freezer. Over time they have evolved into other creations by changing up the ingredients, but always using the dates, bananas and oats as the base.
During the school year and the summer break, I rely on some of the favorites picked by the kids to keep well stocked, which means batch baking, dicing and slicing. I also like to try new recipes to change things up a bit. The list is always evolving and changing, so be sure to check the Kids tab for new ideas!
Everything I have on my blog are recipes that are consumed and liked by my family, kid approved! What is wonderful about these choices is they work for lunches and/or snacks, and are not filled with corn starch, corn syrup, oil, refined sugar, white flour, bleached flour and the many non food ingredients found in most packaged items. I will say we do have our occasional packaged pretzels and Late July crackers or Boom Chicka Pop in the pantry, there are far worse options than those.

Could Corbyn lead to a renewal in the Liberal Democrats?
Corbyn recently took gold for the far left of the Labour Party, thanks to the support of a convincing majority of Labour members and possibly one or two mischievous Tory members urged on by a little magic dust from the Daily Telegraph. It seems that Corbyn intends to take Labour to the far left of politics leading to almost certain defeat at the general election. It's a simple fact that parties in the centre win elections. That's just the way it is. For example, many Tories and liberals voted for Blair because he was in the centre ground and really most people want things to stay moderately the same and so tend to vote for the centrist option.
Never, since Thatcher, has a party won an election by moving further to the extremes of politics, yet this is what Corbyn and the Labour Party have done.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats continue to sit in the centre left. The party have always been cast aside because they're 'not electable'- because of the first past the post system – and their crushing wipe-out in May certainly hasn't helped either. The dominant logic is, you either vote for the Tories or you vote for Labour because no other party will win.
However many would argue that the election of the anti-austerity, anti-nuclear, anti-monarchy Corbyn leaves a gaping hole in the centre-left of politics. Perhaps this is the opportunity the Liberal Democrats need; perhaps they will become the new centre-left opposition in the UK.
This idea of the Liberals rising all depends on Corbyn remaining far left and losing the election in 2020 as a result and this in turn depends upon him remaining in office. Many would argue that in actual fact he'll be lucky to last the year because he quite simply doesn't represent the MPs he's been elected to lead. In all likelihood, as demonstrated by the number of Labour MPs who defied Corbyn and abstained when asked to vote against George Osborne's fiscal contract, the Labour party will most likely rebel and possibly fall into ruins. Whether what emerges will come from the remains of the party itself, or from the Lib Dems taking the lead, remains to be seen.

Corvairs face London for third straight Sutherland Cup
In Hockey, Sports
CALEDONIA — There is only one obstacle between the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs Jr. B hockey franchise and a historical third Sutherland Cup in a row. That obstacle comes in the form of the London Nationals who defeated the Stratford Cullitons in Game #6 of their semi-final matchup. The final series was to have begun this
CALEDONIA — There is only one obstacle between the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs Jr. B hockey franchise and a historical third Sutherland Cup in a row. That obstacle comes in the form of the London Nationals who defeated the Stratford Cullitons in Game #6 of their semi-final matchup.
The final series was to have begun this coming Wednesday, however, London has a few players writing exams and so it was moved to Thursday night instead.
"We saw London in our first game of the season, but nothing from then applies to now," coach Bullard said looking forward to the series.
"No one gets this far in the playoffs without being a good team," says Bullard. He especially targets London goaltender Connor Hughes as a potential problem, but remains confident that his team is running on all cylinders with a support cast of quality Jr. C's from the Hagersville Hawks.
The Waterloo Siskins were crushed in four straight games by the Corvairs, which set up for the Sutherland Cup final playoff series. Last Tuesday night, Caledonia secured their berth in the finals by eliminating Waterloo, 5-2. Ryan Moran, Austin Brown, Daniel Volpe, Corey Pawley, and Tait Seguin scored for the Corvairs.
But confidence will only take you so far and Bullard is not about to let his squad lose focus while they await the final series.
"When you have these delays, there is always the risk of rust," says Bullard. "We're having a couple of hard practices before Thursday to get us back in playing shape," Bullard says.
The team is healthy and deep with third and fourth liners and call ups that could easily find a spot on most Jr. B lineups anywhere as first and second liners.
"When it all comes down, you still have to play the game to win it," he warns. "No one is going to just give it to you."
