Sometimes eating healthy food that you know is good for you makes it taste even better. I kind of feel that way about this soup. I mean it’s not a cheeseburger, but it makes me feel good and healthy. That’s pretty important in my opinion! I get carrots in my CSA box every week. Giant…
Easy Popcorn Trail Mix
I am still recovering from the weekend- Halloween…trick-or-treating with 4 young children = so much fun! I loved seeing their excitement. We went to our neighborhood downtown where the local businesses hosted an early trick-or-treat event around 4:00pm. Then home and a quick stop for a bite to eat at our neighbors’ annual Halloween party…
Friday Favorites
Happy Halloween friends! I am not sure I will ever say “it was a slow week”. Not now at least. Perhaps when all four kids have gone off to college? Maybe then. But hey, I had time to discover, love and share my favorites with you guys so let’s dive into Friday Favorites! Favorite…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese
I was at Target the other day….can we just pause for a moment and talk about how great Target is? No, we don’t even have to, it’s just known to all. I love that I can go and get toiletries, cute clothes and a few groceries if needed. It’s my happy place…as long as I…
Tricks for Getting Kids To Eat Vegetables #ILikeVeggies
How do you get kids to eat their veggies? Whether you’re a parent, a nanny, a pre-school teacher, you may have come across a picky eater or two. Having 4 kids of my own, I know it’s not easy getting them to try new vegetables or even familiar vegetables that they have already determined they don’t…

What happens here is a group of bloggers (aka “the recipe redux members”) create a recipe each month using an assigned theme. It’s all about reinventing healthy eating. I always enjoy seeing the creativity that…
Chocolate Nut Butter Rice Crispy Treats
My oldest baby boy turned 8 over the weekend! His birthday kicks off the beginning of the birthday/holiday extravaganza over at our house where the rest of us will follow until the year comes to an end. He was super laid back about the party plans this year. He chose to invite 4 classmates to…
Easy Tofu Scramble
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mori-nu. The opinions and text are all mine. One of my favorite ways to cook with tofu is this tofu scramble. I started making it years ago when I did my vegan experiment and now, though not vegan, enjoy making it on a regular basis….
A Weekend Away
I needed to get out. I just needed a change in scenery and a chance to relax and not worry about anything. However traveling with 4 kids can easily counteract any sort of relaxing vacation- the packing, the hauling, the new environment, the lack of sleep (which always happens in new places) so we…
