Erica Allain often sings and dances in her kitchen as she cooks for her family: husband, Bryan; daughter, Kylie, 8; and son, Parker, 6.

"I started doing this to help occupy the kids when they were little and I was trying to get dinner ready," she said.

Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas with Fruit Salsa is one of their favorite treats.

"From the moment I tasted this recipe when my friend brought it over for a get-together, I knew I had make it," Allain said.

She altered the recipe by combining it with a similar one found at her favorite recipe source, http://allrecipes.com.

"It is great for get-togethers and parties," she said. "But be prepared to give out the recipe to numerous people."
