Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe Lentils are so good for you! Full of protein and fiber (which kids often don’t get enough of), the health benefits of eating lentils are huge. But today I want to talk about something else… The best lentil recipe I’ve ever made. We’ve done lentil soups here and there, but feels […]

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe I love this chunky monkey green smoothie so much, it’s my favorite easy smoothie recipe! But not as much as my four-year-old. When she hears the blender (And who wouldn’t?), you can be sure you’ll have a small person at your hip with a suggestion: “How about if we share?” No […]

It’s taken a while but the code has been cracked. After trial and error (and a little more error just for good measure) I’ve got a solid list of what to pack for a day trip with kids.  I love a good day trip. We have four small kids which manifests in my brain like […]

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe The idea for these Whole-Wheat Cheddar & Bacon Biscuits came from one of my favorite women in the world, Joanna Gaines. In her gorgeous book, Magnolia Table, she’s got a different version. Instead of white flour and gruyere, our biscuits are whole-wheat and full of sharp cheddar. Better for you and […]

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe There’s nothing I like more than a yummy dinner that can be made from the leftovers of ANOTHER yummy dinner. Cook once, eat twice, cheer, relax and repeat.

Experimenting. Baking and sautéing. Through years of trial and error, I’ve got a solid set of zucchini recipes that my four kids […]

1. Has your child suddenly started wetting the bed again, long after potty training? 2. Does your child often complain about a stomach ache? Both of these are signs that your child is constipated.  Experts say that many kids are “secretly” constipated because they simply put off going to the bathroom. Their pipes get clogged, which interferes with […]

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe When I started experimenting with a veggie-filled tomato sauce to add to pizza and pasta, I knew it needed to be FULL of good-for-you ingredients but all the sweet potatoes in the world wouldn’t matter if the result wasn’t tasty. I have four small kids, ages three, five, seven and eight […]

“Those. Are. AWESOME!” That’s the review from the rascals when they saw the finished Star Wars Christmas Cookies. Our Star Wars Christmas Cookies are a combination of two ideas: Our Homemade Star Wars Graham Crackers and the Christmas-camoflauge pattern from So Yummy (see it here on our Facebook page.). Kids can help but these Star Wars […]

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe Baked French toast casserole is one of my favorite special breakfasts. Like our awesome sheet pan pancakes, there’s no flipping and everyone gets to dig in at once. Plus you can prep the whole thing the night before and just bake it when you’re ready in the morning. What you need […]
