Happy Easter!
Christ Is Risen! Back to regularly scheduled programming soon. xoxo ...
Sunbutter Cookies with Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops
I'm excited about these cookies for so many reason. First, every time I see pretty Easter treats all over the web with colored candies, I get a little sad. I think they're gorgeous, but I know I'm not going to make something with artificial food colorings. When I saw Jenna from Eat, Live, Run ...
Hot Lunch in a Hurry: Spinach-Artichoke Panini
"I don't like the loud thunder, Mommy, I don't like it" is what I heard first thing this morning when Meghan awoke to the loud crash outside her window. The morning was spent cuddling during the storm, staying in our pajamas and reading books together. As much as I hate rain, I treasure these kind ...
Lemony Snack Bars
Boot camp is officially over. It's a bittersweet ending. Sweet because I won't have to wake up at 5:07 every morning anymore, but bitter because I loved the atmosphere for working out. Sadly, I can't afford to continue boot camping on a long-term basis. Even though I can't continue, it was ...
Eat Yo’ Greens Soup
This Eat Yo' Greens Soup is packed with nutrients and flavor! Don't judge it by its looks because you'll be missing out!There was a time when I wouldn't have been excited about a soup full of greens. Cheddar and bacon? Maybe. Greens? Nah. So if you read my title and cringed a little, but are ...
Build a {Healthy & Natural} Easter Basket
Yesterday was the kind of day where I barely had a chance to sit down and the next thing I knew it was 10:00 pm. Do you ever have those kind of days? Emails get unanswered, phone calls don't get made, blog posts don't get written... One thing I accomplished from my to-do list yesterday was ...
Maple and Spice Roasted Chickpeas
I get serious snack attacks at night. I know all the dieting gurus say that eating at night is not good. Thankfully I'm not too much into diets and listening to gurus can be overrated. I listen to my body and my body tells me to eat in the evening. So I do. And that is that. There was a ...
Very Berry Whole Grain Mini-Muffins
In my last post when I gave you a peak into my fridge, there was one thing I didn't mention. Did any of you notice the random bakery box in the before picture of my the refrigerator? Here--look again: And what was inside the box? This is what makes its way into the house if I don't keep a ...
What’s In My Fridge?
If you read this post on our house hunting adventures, you know that the house we are renting is on the market and our lease ends in June. We thought we had everything figured out. We thought we wanted to buy a house. We thought we had a good plan. Plans are funny things, though, and it turns ...
Chipotle Quinoa with Corn and Black Beans {and how to adapt for your toddler}
I have a few confessions to make. I don't normally plan our dinners around Meghan's likes. I think more about what Tim and I will like than her. I also rarely prepare her something different than what we are having. There are a couple reasons I do our dinners this way. First, as a toddler, ...
Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies
If you are obsessed with the chocolate + coconut combination like I am, you will love these cookies. A chocolate cookie base with chocolate chips and coconut added in? You really can't go wrong. It's just a bonus that these cookies happen to be healthy, too. These whole grain cookies are made ...
