real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
If you haven’t figured it out from THIS post and THIS post…we love zucchini around here 😉 Summer is a great time to experiment with zucchini recipes if you have overflow from your garden, or just find them well priced in your farmer markets, and we have been enjoying this zucchini lasagna for a couple…
It doesn’t get much more bright and cheery than a sunflower! And when it comes to cleaning…I need all the bright and cheery I can get to make it through! You all know how much I just love Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products (see my review of their spring 2013 scent, Radish, HERE). Well they…
I think we would all agree at this point that what goes into our kids’ bodies for meal time affects how well they can concentrate at school. But how can we keep the food real despite the busy schedules…and having to pack it all EVERY. DAY. It can work. And it is so worth it….
We go through lemons like crazy in our house! Probably a 2 pound bag every week. From lemon water or lemonade, to soaking grains for recipes we just love them! I usually just compost my lemon rinds or put them down the disposal to make my sink smell fresh, but a few months ago I…
I know it is hardly soup season at the end of July…but I am in the midst of stocking up my freezer for my “babymoon” coming up next month! A big batch of chicken noodle soup was on my list to get done, and I thought I would share my method, and how I batch…
Happy blueberry season! We are doing our blueberry picking in shifts this year since I’m just over 36 weeks pregnant, and I just don’t last as long these days! Our first day of picking was the perfect overcast day with a slight breeze to keep mama cool, and the babes happy. The girls did great…
You know what I love about summer? Cheap produce 🙂 Sorry if that sounds lame to you – but when you are on a super tight budget, your only options for fruit in the winter boil down to apples, bananas, and maybe some raisins here and there. So when summer rolls around it is such…
It was 5:10 pm. I had taken a pound of ground beef out of the freezer that morning in hopes that “something” brilliant for dinner would come to mind by the time the girls went down for nap so I could prep it. Didn’t happen. And 35 week pregnant mama needed a nap that day….
I have to admit, as “crunchy” as I come across, I have never given much thought to how the beach toys that my girls were playing with were made out of. How thoughtful, and how eco-friendly for Zoe B Organic to go the extra mile in researching a way to make very durable, useable,…
I have been on a mission to create a bread maker recipe for gluten free bread over the last couple months. To be honest I have been somewhat of a failure – but I am definitely getting closer. Gluten free baking can be tricky! So what have I been doing with all of my sunken…
Baked beans is one of my favorite summertime picnic foods! A couple years ago I started trying to figure out my own way of making them – real food style. Without the can of high fructose corn syrup beans, using real ingredients, BUT still tasting GOOD! My biggest challenge was figuring out a way to…
We absolutely LOVE cherry season here in Michigan! We are known as one of the largest cherry producers nationwide – we have just the perfect weather conditions and season from what I have been told! We did not get to go cherry picking this year – 9 months pregnant, tall ladders, keeping up with a…
