Healthy Gummies for the Entire Family
I’m pulling out all the stops during winter break and that means finding things to do that include the kids and keep our immune systems boosted. I cannot tell you how many cold, stomach virus and flu posts I’ve seen but thankfully only one person in our house has gotten sick all winter. Last year, when Nolan was in public school, he brought home everything known to man and it traveled through our household with a vengeance. I feel like we were all sick every week and it was so frustrating! This year, I’ve spent more focused time on the supplements we incorporate into our daily routine and ways to…

My Chicken and “Rice” Recipe and Non Toxic Cookware Guide
One thing I’ve learned after starting my family is that finding good recipes that don’t take several hours to make is really important. It’s so easy to say, “well, nothing is cooked, so let’s just head out to eat.” How often have you heard those words come out of your mouth? Fast food or eating out is such a waste of money and will pack on the pounds at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, getting “vacation meals” every now and then isn’t bad but don’t make it a habit. I am with the kids 24/7 and even though Derrek is more than hands on when he is home,…

Healthy Berry Baked Oatmeal
The weather was slightly cooler this past weekend which led me to want to bake ALL the things! I get the kids involved with most of my kitchen cooking and they LOVED helping me make this yummy baked oatmeal. Sometimes we want something hot out of the oven for our breakfast and this is the easiest thing to throw together. You could even make it in your blender for extra ease. I baked a really big one and halved it. One side for us, one for our sweet neighbors down the street. I love cooking, it really is my love language. I am sure that ya’ll have already figured this…

Healthy Food Ideas (what I like to eat right now)
Hands down, healthy meal and snack ideas, are one of the most asked about topics from my followers. I can see why because it’s something that I am constantly changing in our diets. Before I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, I was the queen of cheap and fast food items! The dollar menu was my jam and I could have carried less about the nutritional value. Now that I’m older and wiser (ha) I get to share the many things that I’ve learned along the way and what my go-to meal and snacks are right now. A few years ago, when I started my blog, one of the first things…

Lettuce Taco ‘Bout It
Food blogs are back and will be better than ever! I promise to share easy to make, healthy and delicious recipes that the entire family will love. I will only share what I’ve tried in my own home with my kiddos and talk about what we love and what we don’t. My kids aren’t really picky eaters but, my husband wins that title, every single time! He could eat a steak and fries for every meal and in between and never think twice. Me on the other hand, I love variety, mixing it up and trying new things. When we go to a restaurant I am the first to ask…
