Welcome to our Blog!

Hello and thank you for stopping by Treats and Feasts, our family's food blog, or personal website. Here you'll find recipes for the mommy cook, all tested by me, Leah Smith, my family or friends. I want to provide a place where you can find tested recipes that work for your whole family, including small children.

I will also feature cool crafts that my kids and I complete. I am a complete foodie and with that, I am always entertaining, cooking, baking,

decorating, or crafting.

The first thing you should know is that Treats and Feasts is a blog or a personal website, created and maintained by me, Leah Smith.

We invite you to try the recipes, and if you would like, leave constructive feedback in the comments. Do you have a recipe binder or box of recipe index cards? Think of this site as our family sharing the recipes in our recipe binder with you. As we cook the recipes, we'll often find ways to modify that recipe to make it a better fit for our family...and we'll share it with you. So keep in mind that what you see here is a work in progress.

My inspiration

As a dietitian, wife, and mother of 2 small children, food & nutrition are always at the forefront of my mind. I have a love for food that comes from many parts of my life. I love to entertain and host parties, therefore I create. I have a husband with "sophisticated taste buds", therefore I create. I have 2 beautiful children that I want to be healthy, therefore I create. I have been deemed as "crafty", therefore I create

with food.

All of this inspires me to cook, bake, and create good quality foods. I want to make them happy, make food fun, and more nutritious. Everyday we are learning and trying new things. Why not do that with food too? As my children get older, I want to be assured that I taught them how to make better choices. When it comes time for them to prepare their meals, they'll have a great foundation to make the best choice with food.
