I am still recovering from the weekend- Halloween…trick-or-treating with 4 young children = so much fun! I loved seeing their excitement. We went to our neighborhood downtown where the local businesses hosted an early trick-or-treat event around 4:00pm. Then home and a quick stop for a bite to eat at our neighbors’ annual Halloween party…
Parmesan-Caper Potato Bites
The Holiday season is quickly approaching and we’ll all be searching for the perfect appetizers and holiday dishes to make. I love potatoes and think they are just he perfect addition to any meal- roasted whole or cut with rosemary and garlic, but my new favorite are these adorable potato bites. Yes, I just called these adorable….
Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites
People love to talk about the weather. It’s just part of human DNA. We also like to complain about the weather. You know we all do it. I was running today with baby E in the stroller and I checked the weather channel and it said it was 85 degrees at the time. I ran…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Energy Balls {Vegan, Gluten Free}
The world of blogging really jumped on the energy bite/ball bandwagon. I am pretty sure you’d be hard-pressed to find a food blogger without one on their blog. And for good reason. They’re the perfect snack. I started making them over 6 years ago when I wanted snacks to have on hand while I was…
Stonyfield Greek Yogurt & A Perfect Parfait
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Stonyfield. My kids have a Greek yogurt every morning for breakfast. No exaggeration. They are kind of obsessed. It’s great because while I am getting my coffee they can go out to our garage fridge where we stock the bulk food and grab their…
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I confess, I don’t really like chocolate in my banana bread. I prefer it straight up and traditional with lots of banana flavor and walnuts. This one, my kids love. What’s not to love if you’re a kid? Bread, banana and chocolate? I have been baking on a regular basis so that they can have…
Blueberry Zucchini Muffins
Back-to-school baking! I love having muffins on hand for quick breakfasts, snacks or to pack in lunches. My kids request these and often help me make them. I love quick breads that incorporate vegetables too. It’s a good lesson to my kids that vegetables aren’t evil. They tend to freak out at veggies they don’t…
Caramelized Hemp and Chia Seed Popcorn
I just explained some of the benefits of hemp seeds (and hemp products) in my last post and wanted to use up the last of my hemp hearts before buying a fresh bag. Caramelized Hemp and Chia Seed Popcorn is what I cooked up for a snack this weekend. I am in love with this…
Vegan Chocolate Banana “Ice Cream”
Hi friends! I am back from vacation and am up to my eyes in things to do. I haven’t shared this news yet because I wasn’t sure I wanted to, but I think I need whatever support I can get. My husband will be deploying soon (because of privacy/safety reasons I won’t say when) but we have…
No-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Protein Cookies
I don’t use protein powder very often, but my husband likes it in his smoothies and once in a while I will add it to mine too. We finally run out of our giant ol’ tub that lasted about a year and I got to try a new brand and DELICIOUS flavor, sweet cream. I…
