Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
-Ephesians 5:2 NLT

Stress is stacked higher than pancakes around our kitchen table. Algebra, latin, world history books, blended alongside crayons and nursery rhymes, all hovered by anxious faces.
The first few weeks of school are oftentimes the most daunting for the entire family.
We hope this recipe will overflow your home with the delightful aroma of fall, comfort all the anxious school tummies, and help mom…relax!
