I can't believe we're already a week into September! Summer flew by ... and it looks like Fall is on it's way in and out as well! Before we know it we'll be sharing Christmas stuff!</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, let's hold our horses ....

I love the simplicity of this printable and the colorful polka dots are fun without being too dramatic.</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Personally, I would recommend downloading the printable you like (or all three!) and sending it to a place like Staples to print. It saves your printer ink, and the qaulity is sooooo good! I send all of my stuff to Staples (I truly do love Staples and I am in no way sponsored by them!) Usually, it's less than a dollar a page for them to print!</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a reminder, these printable are for your own personal use only. Please do not claim the image as your own, re-sell or redistribute it.

Me being me, I had to pick some up to try! I love Mexican Hot Chocolate and adding it to my coffee sounded delicious! I also saw that Coffee-mate carries La Lechera® Dulce de Leche flavored creamer!

Since I had some Abuelita® Mexican Chocolate Drink tablets in the pantry, I thought it would be fun to whip up a chocolaty dipping sauce to go with it! Churros are one of my family's favorite treats - and they are sooo easy to make! Don't be intimidated to make them yourself! I'm so glad we used the <a href="http://clvr.li/CMLatin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Coffee-mate </a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://clvr.li/CMLatin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abuelita® Mexican Chocolate creamer</a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> - it was a nice change from our usual churros!

Not only is it a life-saver at dinnertime, but I would like to think it is a budget saver as well - no trips to the closest fast food joint! </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always have cans or pouches of <a href="http://clvr.li/1sBvfjC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bumble Bee</a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://clvr.li/1sBvfjC" target="_blank">®</a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> tuna on hand - it's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner and we love adding it to some of our favorite recipes! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mediterranean Tuna Salad</i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> comes together faster than the time it takes to get in the car and drive to your local greasy hamburger place. It's also budget-friendly and an excellent source of omega-3!</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although my family loves traditional tuna salad, sometimes we like a lighter fare without mayonnaise. Switching it up to a salad or putting it in pita bread is a nice change of pace also! I had a similar dish to this <i>Mediterranean Tuna Salad</i> at a restaurant a few years ago and decided to recreate it at home. It has easily become a family-favorite!</span></span></center><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><center><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lovebakesgoodcakes/15119296482" title="Bumble Bee Premium Albacore Tuna 300x300 by lovebakesgoodcakes, on Flickr"><img alt="Bumble Bee Premium Albacore Tuna 300x300" height="300" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3926/15119296482_baab8c6110.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></span></span></center><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br /><center><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span></center><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br /><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a side note, I used two <a href="http://clvr.li/1sBvfjC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bumble Bee®</a> Premium Albacore Tuna in Water Pouches for this recipe.

Maybe it's just the shock factor for me? People always seem to flock to bacon dishes and they tend to be surprised when you tell them there's bacon in any kind of dessert! At least in the dessert world, bananas and peanut butter sound like they belong with bacon, don't they? Making a dish or dessert with that combo seems natural and calling it "Elvis" comes with the territory - his sandwich preferences are quite well known after all.</span></center><br /><center><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lovebakesgoodcakes/15085655511" title="The "King" would approve of these Elvis Puddin' Cookies!

Shake off the excess cornstarch and place the chicken pieces into the hot oil. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your fryer. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces until they are all golden brown and no longer pink. (To keep chicken warm when cooking in batches, place on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.) </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While the chicken and rice are cooking, you can prepare the Orange Sauce.

Let me tell you, I may be reconsidering how we homeschool the kiddos in favor of year-round homeschool from now on! I'm sure public school teachers have quite the adjustment during the first week or so of school too ... it is a job trying to get everyone on the same page - and I only have 3 little people this year!</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that we're figuring out our schedule, I feel like I can relax just a little bit. The older two kiddos pretty much know how things are done during the school year, but for Gabriel, he is easily distracted (as most five year olds are). He loves doing "school" (as he likes to say), but sometimes becomes frustrated that things aren't all play anymore.</span></center><br /><center><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lovebakesgoodcakes/15043247551" title="Sweet & Salty Trail Mix - a convenient and portable choice for wholesome, healthy, on-the-go snacking. #SnacktoSchool #LoveYourRaisins #CleverGirls by lovebakesgoodcakes, on Flickr"><img alt="Sweet & Salty Trail Mix - a convenient and portable choice for wholesome, healthy, on-the-go snacking. #SnacktoSchool #LoveYourRaisins #CleverGirls" height="640" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5551/15043247551_ddf8ea017e_z.jpg" width="427" /></a></center><br /><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To help motivate him - and to give our family an easy and healthy after school snack, I had Gabriel help me mix up some homemade Sweet & Salty Trail Mix. If I can be perfectly honest, I want to cry when I see the prices of the premade trail mixes at the store! I really cannot justify spending so much money on something we can just as easily make at home! </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I turn making trail mix into a learning experience. Gabriel likes to count the scoops as we add them to the bowl and add them all up. We sometimes do patterns while we eat the trail mix and he even tries to teach Abby her colors with the M&M's. Learning never ends when you have kiddos - there are tons of opportunities to get them involved and make learning fun - and they may not even realize they just added 7 cups of ingredients or created an awesome pattern with trail mix! :)</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of the reasons I love this Sweet & Salty Trail Mix is that it's simple and easy! It contains <a href="http://clvr.li/1tmy3j2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">California raisins</a> which are all-natural and dried by the sun! The ingredient list on my raisin box says it all - one ingredient: raisins! Pair that with some of my favorite nuts to give this trail mix some healthy, unsaturated fats, protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamin E and other essential vitamins and minerals! For a sweet treat and an extra bit of antioxidants, I add dark chocolate candy pieces! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This makes a convenient and portable snack idea. And did I mention, delicious?! </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did you know that according to the USDA, raisins are the most economical dried fruit?! My kiddos love to add raisins to muffins and oatmeal at breakfast time - and of course this trail mix for snacking! <a href="http://clvr.li/1tmy3j2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">California raisins</a> come by their sweetness naturally - there is zero fat, no cholesterol and no added sugar.

I love to snack - and to be perfectly honest, I don't always make good choices. I recently heard about Graze.com - a company that is designed to fit around you! Graze.com is a subscription snack box service founded five years ago by seven friends in the UK who got sick of the same old snacks and wanted a better way to snack. They launched in the USA in January - and they already have over 200K American subscribers, aka "grazers."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I looked more into Graze.com, I loved that I could set taste preferences and if I have any dietary limitations, those are taken into consideration. The boxes fit inside a standard mailbox and are easily scheduled online! If you know me, then you know I am a big fan of convenience! :)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s368/lovebakesgoodcakes/Graze1_zpsb0e4f17a.png" style="height: 600px; width: 400px;" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also loved that the snacks come perfectly portioned. Each box contains four satisfying snacks inside. These snacks are a great way to keep your hands out of the cookie jar! :) With 90 snacks (and millions of graze box combinations), there's always something new to try!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s368/lovebakesgoodcakes/Graze9_zps7ac90d14.png" style="height: 400px; width: 600px;" /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So far, one of my favorites has been the Lightly Toasted Pistachios. Seriously, these could not have come at a better time - I was actually wanting pistachios! How lucky was that for them to be in my Graze snack box?! Needless to say, I may have been overly excited when I spotted them in my last Graze snack box. They didn't even last 5 minutes .... but that's another story!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s368/lovebakesgoodcakes/Graze6_zps58829834.png" style="height: 400px; width: 600px;" /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another favorite so far, was the Key Lime Pie snack. As I have mentioned to y'all before, I am the only one in my house who likes Key Lime, so it's a real treat when I get a chance to enjoy Key lime anything! :)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s368/lovebakesgoodcakes/Graze-deliveryoptions_zpsed6fe09a.png" style="height: 573px; width: 600px;" /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's easy to schedule deliveries weekly, bi-weekly or a one time box - and you can even schedule them to be delivered to your home or office! I loved the flexibility with Graze!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s368/lovebakesgoodcakes/Graze-DeliveryOptions2_zps182b6b27.png" style="height: 445px; width: 515px;" /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On my dashboard, I can see where in the process my next box is! I can also see the deadline for when I need to make changes to my next box.</span></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s368/lovebakesgoodcakes/Graze-rateproducts_zpsa5c0ea69.png" style="height: 550px; width: 600px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Graze also make it super easy to rate the snacks you love (so you can get more of them) and trash the ones you weren't so fond of!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Graze, you can get your <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=36902&oid=13102892" rel="nofollow">First Box Free</a>!

Jessica here, from All She Cooks. I'm so happy to be over here on Love Bakes Good Cakes contributing another recipe for you. I'm always so inspired by all the yummy creations Jamie comes up with, so to get to share a few of my own with her readers is so much fun. <br /><h2>Turtles for dessert?</h2>Whether you say 'carmel' or 'car-a-mel', there is something about the combination of chocolate and that sweet buttery golden brown soft chewy candy. Yes... quite a few adjectives there, and let me tell you, it was hard to stop at just a few. Add in a pretzel and melt it all up, and we've got a sweet bite of perfection. If you're looking for a quick and easy snack recipe, or maybe a treat to share at the holidays, this one has you set. <a href="http://allshecooks.com/?attachment_id=11885" rel="attachment wp-att-11885"><img alt="chocolate turtles" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11885" src="http://allshecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/chocolate-turtles-630x900.jpg" height="900" width="630" /></a><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />This is one of those recipes you can play with a bit. I used soft caramels in half to make my turtle candies. It you'd like the caramel more contained, cut them in thirds or quarters. Nut lover? Add a pecan on top and press it down into the caramel. Swirl some melted chocolate over the candies and you've got a gorgeous snack perfect for displaying and serving at a party. Or for eating. Which is exactly what I did.<br /><br /><div class="easyrecipe mceNonEditable"><link href="http://allshecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/turtles-7-13-2014-7-00-18-PM-Recovered-500x333.jpg" itemprop="image"></link> <br /><div class="item ERName"><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Turtles Recipe</span></div><div class="ERClear"></div><div class="ERIngredients"><div class="ERIngredientsHeader">Ingredients</div><ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">1 bag soft caramels</li><li class="ingredient">Pretzels</li><li class="ingredient">Chocolate chips</li><li class="ingredient">Pecans, optional</li></ul></div><div class="ERInstructions"><div class="ERInstructionsHeader">Instructions</div><div class="instructions"><ol><li class="instruction">Preheat oven to 350.</li><li class="instruction">Arrange pretzels on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Then bam, it's back to reality before we know it!</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you're a mom, you know that getting kids ready for school is no simple task! It's a constant battle with getting a good breakfast into them, getting them dressed and getting them to school on time .... amongst all of that, you have to get lunches ready ... that's not even counting the million and one other things we do daily as parents. </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year, we have three of our children in school. Even though I homeschool, we face many of the same obstacles as children who go to public or private school. This year, Isaac is an 8th grader, Thomas is a 7th grader and Gabriel is a Kindergartener. Everything is new to Gabriel. I thought it would be fun to have him draw me his favorite lunch ... and then make a wholesome lunch with him for his first day of school. </span></center><br /><center><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lovebakesgoodcakes/14814454629" title="Can you believe the back to school season is upon us?!

Instead of candy, I gave him some <a href="http://www.annies.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Annie's Homegrown</a> Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks.
