I think I need to grow some watermelon next year…we’ve picked one up almost every week since they’ve been out this summer! There is no greater summertime refresher than watermelon! I made up this great smoothie one morning when it was too hot to cook, my freezer stock of pancakes was almost at it’s end,…
Whether you are on a dairy break, allergic to dairy, or just plain love coconut milk, you are gonna love this cost effective way of bringing this delicious drink to your family every week! Coconut milk can be expensive, and to be honest, most brands are full of added sugar, and are in containers lined…
I wrote this a few weeks ago when I took advantage of making up this recipe for quick, cool lunches and dinners. It had been a long, hot week. Why I chose the heat wave of 2012 to potty train my oldest is beyond me – but it was our least busy week in a…
This one is so simple – I promise! Years ago I don’t think I knew there were other options for a sandwich spread other than Miracle Whip – have you seen ingredient list on that one?! Even the so called healthy ones (like ones labeled organic or even olive oil claims) are full of processed…
Are the peaches as delicious where you are as they are here?! We have been eating them up over the last week, and as the season comes to it’s peak, I wanted to share one of our favorite ways to enjoy our fresh, juicy peaches! Grab up whatever is left at the farmer’s markets this…
Ok so I know I already posted a popsicle recipe – but I just had to share this one with you! Our poor Michigan cherry trees have been through a lot this season – the premature warm weather with following frosts really killed off most of the season’s bounty. It has been really strange only…
So who’s swimming in zucchinis this summer?! We hardly tire from our zucchinis since there are so many things you can use them in! I will likely have more recipes including zucchini along the way, but this morning I made up these delicious egg muffins using up part of a zucchini I was going to…
Smoothies are not a new concept – you can find all kinds of recipes for them – just google it (is that even proper grammar?! “Google it”?!). Anyway, while I was nursing they were my go-to snack and meal to help with milk supply since I could load it up with coconut oil. This summer…
We had a great morning picking up beautiful summer veggies at our local farmer’s market. The girls LOVE picking out what we will be having for the week – I usually let them pick out a couple different things each. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what to do with what they pick out,…
So how did the yogurt dripping go?! (If you missed Monday’s post on the easiest yogurt dripping for cream cheese and whey, check this out! Includes a dairy free option!) Here is a great way to have a fun summer drink with the added benefit of a load of probiotics for your gut health! Super…
You guys are gonna love this one 🙂 Next grocery trip grab a quart tub of plain organic whole milk yogurt (Stoneyfield and Brown Cow are good brands in my area) – or whole coconut yogurt if you are dairy free, and try this out! Did you know if you drip off the liquid from…
I’m hoping to give you a new idea for those fast paced mornings 🙂 Did you know that kids need a pretty large supply of friendly fats and protein fuel their day? Especially as you think about getting the kids ready for school this fall, I’m hoping to give you some nourishing ideas to keep…
