Featured Response 💬 

“We have a piggy bank that has 3 compartments: Spend, Save and Share. When he gets allowance $1 goes in each section then the remainder he can decide which section to use. Spend is money he can use to buy himself things at the store. Share is for a charity and his choice of donation has been to the Dumb Friends League. His Save is used for bigger items but we do put it into a savings account as well as all his birthday and Christmas money. His savings account is looking pretty healthy.”

That’s such a thoughtful way to teach him about managing money early on! I love how you’re showing him how to balance fun, generosity, and saving for the future—plus, the Dumb Friends League donation is just the sweetest! -Danielle 😊

Grilled Cheese in the Oven 🍞🧀

acouplecooks

Ever tried making grilled cheese for a small army of hungry little ones, and thought there has to be a better way?

Say goodbye to that pan-flipping workout and hello to the dreamy ease of oven-grilled cheese sandwiches.

That's right, oven magic!

Let’s dive into this mouth-watering shortcut.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • 🧈 Perfectly toasted, buttery bread without standing over the stove.

  • 🧀 Make up to 8 sandwiches at once—great for feeding a crowd!

📝 Ingredients

For each munch-worthy sandwich:

  • 2 slices of bread

  • Butter, for that golden spread

  • ¼ cup of cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese, for that melt-in-your-mouth feel

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F.

  2. Prep the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. Place one slice, butter-side down, on a baking sheet.

  3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella evenly on the bread, then top with the second slice, butter-side up.

  4. Bake: Bake for 6 minutes, flip the sandwiches, and bake for another 6 minutes. If the bread isn’t browned, bake for an additional minute on each side.

📌 Note

Want to jazz up your sandwiches?

  • Think about smoked gouda with fig jam for a posh feel.

  • Or get inspired by a spinach artichoke dip and sandwich it between those slices.

  • Brie with apple slices? Oh la la!

  • How about an avocado grilled cheese sandwich?

Oh, and if you're planning on turning this into a full-blown meal, think fresh green salads, maybe a pear or pomegranate salad, or dive into a warm bowl of classic tomato soup.

With this oven magic trick up your sleeve, dinner just got a whole lot easier (and cheesier!).

Keep rockin' the kitchen! 🎸🍽️

Fall is here, and you know what that means—pumpkin everything! 🎃

No sewing needed, just some fabric and a hot glue gun.

  3. Cut fabric into strips and give them a twist.

  4. Glue them onto the board in a cute pumpkin shape.

  5. For a stem, cut a small piece of board, paint it brown, and glue it on top.
