    I am in LOVE with all your creative toasts…so it’s awesome you’re going to be doing a video to showcase a new one every week Cara!! Your son is going to be one lucky kid growing up…for me it’s a slap of oatmeal or cereal on school mornings and then treats like this on weekends when i have the time ha!

    Hi Cara 🙂 Can you PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE make a kids recipe book that we can buy?!?! You’re SO creative with kids stuff, and it’s so hard to find recipe books for kids allergy friendly recipes that are actually fun, not just a copy of what adults would eat!!!!!! Even if it’s just an electornic recipe book to start with or app. It would be a lifesaver. Thanks 🙂

      Oh Marilyn, you are so sweet! I have been thinking about writing another cookbook, yes. I had to recover from my last one but I am ready again! Regardless, I will definitely consider doing a digital one once my little man gets a little older…xo!
