In the kitchen and uninspired? Wonder woman Kate Gosselin (who recently shared her tricks for feeding a family of ten with us) has come to the culinary rescue with her healthy sandwich recipes that are kid friendly and an easy way to incorporate whole grains into your child's diet.

Fall Harvest Sandwich

• 2 slices honey ham
• 1 slice cheddar cheese
• 1 T honey mustard
• ½ Granny Smith apple, sliced thin (optional)
• 2 slices whole wheat bread

Place on one piece of bread in the following order: mustard, cheese, ham, apple slices. Top with the remaining piece of bread. Cut on the diagonal and serve.

There are many myths about predicting an unborn baby's gender. From dangling a ring above the belly to craving sweets or meats, I've tested almost all of them to guess my child's sex. Recently, a mom friend of mine asked me a list of questions hoping to gain insight into the boy versus girl world. Her last question threw me for a loop. She quizzed me, "Is your pee bright yellow?" Surprised by the query, I said, "Funny you should ask. . . just this morning I was surprised that it was almost Gatorade-like yellow!" She said, "BOY! I'm calling it now. It's a boy!"

She claimed that her son's pregnancy brought out a plethora of neon yellow fluids unlike her daughter. I thought maybe I was dehydrated and she agreed that was her initial reaction, too. But after months of it, she concluded it was the baby's sex. I guess we shall see in a couple of short months what the outcome is. But I'm dying to know, did any of you experience the "yellow" phenomenon?

It's hard enough to keep bananas and peaches from getting squashed and bruised on the way home from the grocery. Try taking them to the park or on a trip and you'll often end up with a fruit smoothie type substance on the bottom of your bag.

This weekend I discovered a genius creation — the Banana Guard. The $7 ventilated invention locks up bananas for safe keeping and eating. Banana abuse be gone! The Froot Case and Fruit Guard, which are perfect for apples, peaches or other juicy fruits on the run, were made in a similar vein. When they plastic protectors aren't being used to keep fruit out of harm's way, they double as a distraction for kids.

Teenage pregnancy costs Texas taxpayers more than one billion dollars annually so the lone star state is now requiring that high school students take a parenting class. As part of the public school curriculum, teens will be taught fourteen one-hour lessons on topics from the price of diapers to healthy relationships and father involvement. Do you think it is a good preventative measure?
