    The Best “Mashed Potatoes” aka Cauliflower with help from Blendtec

    I’m gonna go ahead and call today, Soulfood Sunday. It’s the day after we grocery shop so I feel like the world is my oyster when it comes to deciding what we eat. Nothing makes me happier than a full fridge. I guess it’s because I reflect back on my college days when the contents of my fridge consisted of beer and takeout. Yikes! What a long way I’ve come! I have shared the recipe to my “mashed potatoes” aka mashed cauliflower on my insta stories numerous times. Each time I do, I get begged to put it on my blog so here it is. Finally in a space that…

    Chicken Noodle Immune Soup

    “Chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup with a soda on da side….” am I the only one who hears this song when I make chicken noodle soup? The weather here is freezing cold and we had the promise of snow on Saturday. Sadly, it rained right before the flurries started falling so it didn’t stick. Our kids were devastated that they couldn’t use their new ski bibs (you MUST check out the huge sale that’s happening over on the Target website, I got the kids theirs for $9 each!) We passed the time by making different crafts, playing with legos and cooking some of our favorite comfort…

    Turmeric and Bonafide Provisions bone broth goodness

    Cold and flu season has attacked my household pretty bad this year. Nolan started school and has brought home every single cold and bug you can think of. While I am happy that with each one, it builds our immune systems a little more, I am so over being sick! Last weekend I visited my sister and she cooked a huge crockpot turmeric and bone broth soup to help strengthen our bodies. Turmeric and bone broth are two things that everyone should have permanently stocked in their pantries. Turmeric is a healing spice with many health benefits. It can be used to help as a decongestant, liver detox, cancer preventive,…

    Cranberry Relish with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides

    I received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. One of things that I do daily and enjoy immensely is cooking! Growing up, I never had family dinners. It was always something that I longed for and now that I have my own family, I look forward to them. Sometimes it’s crazy but giving my loved ones a hot meal that I prepared warms my heart. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I find myself planning our meal with one of my sisters. The holidays are always crazy because my mother and father are divorced, leading me to normally have…

    Candy Bar Milkshake – Baby Booster Style

    This blog has been compensated by Baby Booster. I also received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The days after Halloween can be a major health challenge if you have a love for candy like I do. A few years ago, when I was 60+ pounds overweight, I could scarf down five or six candy bars and not blink an eye. When I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, I realized the only way I could make that happen was by throwing out everything that wasn’t good for me. I don’t have the willpower to NOT eat multiple candy bars in one sitting. This show…
