Meal Planning/Recipes

Fresh produce and herbs are my favorite! If you don’t have a garden, no problem. I encourage you to drop by any of our amazing nearby farmers' markets and take advantage of in-season produce by making these favorite late June recipes.

I have substituted a lot of different veggies into our routine now.  One of my favorites for its versatility is zucchini! Zucchini, to me, used to be just bread or chocolate cake with some zucchini mixed in, but I now use it for SO much more!

In honor of the aforementioned holiday, I channeled my inner-Grandma Evie and whipped together a delicious crumb-topped strawberry rhubarb pie.

So then how in the world, when I’m racing around town trying to get Daughter A and Daughter B from Point A to Point B on time, are we going to find time to eat a frickin’ meal? Are we doomed to a solid month of Happy Meals and drive-thru dinners?

So, how dare I feel confident giving my son a popsicle every day, even if it is after a dinner that he refused to eat? I make sure to pack these popsicles with as much nutrition as possible, that’s how!

If you are already in a rut packing lunches or are just looking for fresh ideas, here are some foods to send with your child!

We all know that toddlers would much prefer some baked nuggets, roasted veggies, and tater tots.  To mix it up for your family this summer and avoid using the oven, try these recipes instead!

Crispy. Salty. Great with dip. Pretty much, the perfect snack! In honor of this special day, here’s a list of my favorites and some dip recipes to enjoy with them!

March is National Nutrition Month and the perfect time to think about ways to improve your family’s eating habits. We can always do better when it comes to feeding our children and ourselves. My husband and I have experimented with various ways of eating in the past, but now that we’ve added children into the mix, meals (and eating in general) have definitely changed.

All the reasons we really like this easy-to-make, grab-and-go recipe. And bonus: it includes everything from veggies to fruit (avocado) to whole grains to protein! We call it “Not your Grandma’s Chicken Salad” since we’re replacing the often-used mayo with savory avocado.
