Most families have recipes that are traditionally served at certain events. There are traditional foods for various holidays, as well as foods that are "expected" at events like tailgate parties and other family gatherings.

We’ve all seen photos, taken by doting relatives, of babies enjoying their first birthday cakes. Crumbs and frosting adorn cute baby faces, and surrounding objects! What happens to the "birthday cake tradition" after first birthdays?

This is the trifecta of dinner party desserts: incredibly easy, made ahead of time, and delicious! It's also open to a lot of augmentation. You can make it a ginger chocolate pie with some candied ginger in the pudding. You can make a graham cracker crust and add vegan marshmallow fluff for a S'mores Pie. Chocolate lends itself well to orange, mint, and raspberry flavors, so any of these can be swapped in for the vanilla in the filling. However, I'm partial to the classic, as it's hard to go wrong with these clean, chocolate flavors.

It can be tempting to make the family quick and fast breakfasts every morning. These could include opening a box and pouring the contents out, or popping some toast in a toaster. However breakfasts can be amazing, when some effort is put into it. There are many recipes that are designed to be fun, healthy and filling. A good amount of food in the morning will keep a child or an adult going for hours.

There are some quick ways to locate easy recipes. An online search may give people what they are after. Someone can print off the recipe or they can carry their laptop into the kitchen and follow it from in there. Many ingredients will be ones that are already present in the kitchen. If they are not, then they can be added to the grocery list.
