How dinner went down: January 29th-February 4th
I love reading blog posts with weekly meal plans. I always like to see what other families eat for dinner in a typical week and can usually find new ideas for my own weekly meal plan. I've been hesitant to post my own meal plans here, though, because I don't always stick to them. Sometimes I ...
Orange Almond Energy Balls
Let's face it. We all could use a little more energy. Everyone has something in their life that steals their energy, whether it's a demanding career, school, or being a mom. For me, it's juggling being a wife and mother to a 3 year old and newborn that is robbing me of my usual energy ...

Blueberry pie granola
My cereal cravings are baaaaack. I can go a long time without thinking about cereal and not missing it a bit. Then, without warning, I need some. I don't know if this current craving is pregnancy induced or not, because this happens even when I'm not pregnant. I suspect it has something to do ...
Beet and goat cheese phyllo pie
Lately my meal planning is all over the place. One week I have each meal meticulously planned, down to the last ingredient, and then the next week I am haphazardly planning meals in my mind as I wander through the produce section of the grocery store. As much as I hate those weeks when I'm not as ...
