Can I humor you with *one* more zucchini recipe this summer season?! I was blessed with a zucchini the size of my ARM last week – I kid you not. And since I am expecting baby #3 any day (any hour really!) from now I wanted to use it up so I wouldn’t go bad….
I wondered when she would notice it. It happened a few weekends ago while grocery shopping. I was in the noodle section to grab some gluten free noodles for our pantry, and my sweet 4 year old exclaims – “MAMA!!! It’s ELMO! We have to get it!” Stores are SO smart. That bright red can…
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…
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….
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…
Tandoor Chef is making it’s appearance on SIMPLE again. Check out the previous review here. The month of June was Veggies Lovers Month, so in honor of that I present Tandoor Chef’s vegetarian entrees and their Garlic Naan. I received 2 coupons to try out some product. I chose the Palak Paneer and the Garlic Naan….
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 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…
Recently, Buddy Fruits partnered with The Smurfs 2 Movie. Super exciting for kids. We still love Buddy Fruits in our house. Yes even my six year old loves them. When you have a picky eater and you find something they will eat…you let them!! He downed 2 of these and wanted more. I don’t think…
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…
