After school snack attack?! Chocolate pudding with a nourishing kick to the rescue! I do love to make regular milk/egg based puddings too, but I didn’t want to leave out the kiddos with the milk or egg allergies, and I’m giving my youngest an egg break for a little bit right now. This has the…

What do you do when you have a molar teething toddler that doesn’t want to eat anything?! Claire is usually a pretty good eater, but man when this kid doesn’t want to eat because of ouchy teeth it is frustrating! Enter nutrient loaded creamsicles!Basically these are just frozen smoothies. And this time of year when…
Easter gets a little more exciting each year that my girls are just a little older and really understand the anticipation of it all!
