Friday thoughts….sometimes I feel like just giving up. Giving up the blog, giving up trying to work from home, giving up being a stay-at-home mom. Ooooh, I just read that back and realize it sounds serious and depressing, but don’t call for help because I don’t mean it like that. I just go through that…

Garlic Baked Shrimp
Happy hump day everyone! Somewhere along the lines of having baby #4, I started streamlining our meals and cooking on repeat. This is so not like me…I used to live for my weekly meal planning, browsing new recipes, making a huge mess in the kitchen even on a week night (well I still do that, but…
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Mug Cake for Two
Hey friends! How was your weekend? We didn’t do much- a little work for me and the hubs, a lot of fighting for the kids- they are at that age where they just annoy the heck out of each other and it’s so frustrating! and some binge watching of Homeland for us (the series we’ve…
Gingerbread Energy Bars {Vegan, Raw, Gluten Free}
Well it looks like this week I am just a big ol’ copycat. That’s right. If you missed Monday’s post I made a simple copycat Panera salad HERE and today, well today is a snack day so I am making some copycat Larabars. I know it might be weird to see gingerbread flavors in January, but I…

Oatmeal-Raisin Pancakes {Gluten Free, Dairy Free}
I hope you are starting off the year right by focusing on the types of foods you are eating, rather than stressing about calorie counting. I have been a bit of a breakfast rut. I am too lazy busy to get the kids anything special for breakfast before school so we’ve been relying on cereal and yogurt…
Chicken Tacos with Pickled Onions and Feta
You guys, it is the 14th of January and I have totally been sticking to my goals. I got in a couple of runs already, did some yoga, got the kids ready early for school, got some post drafts going. It sure feels good to be productive, but of course it’s so much easier when…
Fire-Roasted Tomato Vegetable Soup
You know those times when you have NO food in the house or at least so it seems. You just stand there staring in the pantry, opening and closing the refrigerator and freezer door waiting for something to jump out at you. And nothing really does, because you don’t have time to defrost the meat,…
