In case you missed the last few posts I’ll give you an update: I made an awesome chili and announced we’re moving to Seattle! I also joined a health challenge and made some homemade baby food! Check out the previous posts if you want to learn more! So a few weeks ago I threw a…
Carrot Spice Muffins
You know how I mentioned packing healthy homemade muffins in your kid’s lunches? I love this one and have been making it a lot lately: Carrot Spice Muffins. I had a hankering for warm, freshly baked muffins and I wanted to incorporate a veggie. I was deciding between zucchini and carrot and since I make…
Coconut Granola Bars
I love baking up treats to have around the house- I try to freeze at least half of the goodies in individual portions so that I can pull out a homemade snack when needed. Lately every time I pick up a box of some sort of snack at the store, I think to myself “I…
The Perfect Snack- Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls
When I followed the vegan diet for a week I was craving sweets in a bad way. I mean, I am pregnant and I need chocolate. However, I was good and avoided pretty much anything sweet until day 6 when I couldn’t take it anymore. I stared into our pantry hoping that something animal-free would…
Healthy Kid Lunches: “Kebobs”
I have been brainstorming fun lunch ideas for the kids and threw these together this week. The kids loved them. I just put the big platter on the table and let them pick out what they wanted. It was funny to watch how my kids ate these. I told them one end was a little…
Chocolate Pudding Pops (aka Fudge Pops)

For some reason, I’ve had a strong desire to let me kids try some of my old time favorite popsicles- especially the chocolate pudding pop (aka fudge pop). When…
Healthy Back-To-School Lunches
Need inspiration now that the kids are starting back to school soon? My little guy starts his first Monday through Friday preschool this week. It will be the first time ever that he will be apart from me on a daily basis (it’s only 3 hours a morning but still will be a big change…
Kids in the Kitchen & Blueberry Muffins
Due to all the rain we’ve had recently, I have been searching for crafts and things to do with the kids around the house. I can always count on them wanting to bake with me so I knew this would be the perfect activity for one rainy morning. If you haven’t cooked with your kids,…
An Easter Treat: Chocolate Birds’ Nest
An easy Easter treat that you can easily make gluten free- it doubles as dessert and table decorations! We are having a simple Easter celebration over here, since we still have unpacking to do. We know where the church is, so my main concern was what to cook that wouldn’t take a lot of my…
Southwestern Turkey Burger Sliders with Chipotle Ketchup
I wanted to get one more recipe posted before Super Bowl Sunday. These sliders are fantastic. Flavorful, moist and a little different. I made them the same day that I made the black bean dip so I had the leftover chipotles in adobe sauce. I was inspired by the flavor profile of the black dip…
