Chocolate Chip Cookies
By: Maryam Adham I have a problem. I love to bake. And when I get an impulse to bake something it is almost impossible to shake it. Now, the problem is, since I bake so much I often run out of staples (butter, eggs). So this leads to frantic internet searches for substitutions and alternate recipes. Sometimes these turn out to be total flops. Other times they actually turn out good enough to make again (butter-less, egg-less,... Read More →

Dinner Time: Lasagna
by Maryam Adham Lasagna is one of those meals that I could actually eat for a week (or more!) without getting tired of it. It’s warm, cheesy, filling, cheesy, and perfect for the cold fall days we’re having now. Did I mention it was cheesy? Add to that the fact that it’s a meal that everyone in the family can eat without complaining and it automatically shoots up to the top of my favorite meal list! Lasagna... Read More →
Why Homeschool?

Without a doubt we want the best for them and we strive to provide them with the opportunities they need to succeed. That’s why it comes as no surprise that the nourishing of their minds is a constant topic... Read More →
