When I make these muffins for my kids I 100% call then cupcakes. I try to be a fun mom like that! They gobble them up and ask for seconds and I’m happy to oblige because these healthy little muffins are full of all the good stuff AND NO SUGAR. They’re sweetened with dates and …

It’s time for Instant Pot Recipes! Who else got an Instant Pot on Black Friday? I did, and I love it! You will hear people rave about it for different reasons: it’s quick, it’s easy, you can make almost anything in it, and you can even cook meat from frozen. From soups and yogurt, to …

For the longest time I steered clear of any kind of peppers. Too spicy! But then a friend introduced me to these homemade bacon jalapeño poppers and all of a sudden I’m a jalapeño popper fanatic! So, so good! These poppers are now a staple at so many of our meals. They are the perfect …

Last week my husband and I went on a date and my sister, the kid’s totally awesome aunt, played babysitter. They made homemade pizza, watched Frozen 2, and whipped up a super easy, super delicious dessert to enjoy with their popcorn — Funfetti cookies. Now, my sister isn’t really a baker. She can, but it’s …

Raise your hand if you find yourself running late getting your kids to school. Oh, everyone? Great. I don’t feel so bad anymore. On the-go-breakfasts, or grab-and-go breakfasts, are great ways to make sure you and your kids eat a healthy, balanced breakfast even when you’re short on time. Of course, you can always grab …

Often, when I eat at a restaurant, I’m drawn to a hearty salad. They always taste SO GOOD! But then, at home, I’m all “salad … meh” and find myself skipping the veggies I know my body needs. It’s a bad habit and one I’m trying to correct. This year, I’m aiming to make more, …

I have to admit that I’m totally stealing the idea for this blog post from a friend of mine (with her permission!).

Aren’t we all trying to eat healthier? I’ve been trying to introduce more paleo meals into my family meal planning, but it can be hard to make the switch. I don’t know about you, but I often feel like paleo meals, or any healthy meals for that matter, seem to take so long to make …

It’s so COLD in so many areas of the country this week that I thought I would share one of my go-to cold winter night dinners with you! This one is so easy (CROCKPOT!) and is HEALTHY!! It’s Heathy Sweet Potato Turkey Chili and it’s delicious! My family loves chili. It’s one of those often …

From early on kids have an affinity for joining their parents in the kitchen. It is exciting learning to cook! I mean, truly, there is nothing more fun than stirring and nothing more fun than eating something YOU made! Getting kids in the kitchen early and often is a lot of work, but trust me, …

Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my most favorite desserts. So, when I stumbled upon a recipe for snickerdoodle bread, I knew I had to give it a try! I merged that recipe with some elements from my best banana bread recipe and baked up something that tastes a bit like heaven! Truly, with a heavy …
