Grab n Go Snack - Grab n Go Breakfast - Grab n Go Lunch. This one is for my low carb friends...and you can make it even more low carb by using almond flour! Even though these "have green things in them" (direct quote from an unnamed child of mine), they were enjoyed by all! I had to promise within an inch of my life that said child wouldn't actually taste the green … [Read more...]
Are you willing to total your grocery bill this month?
Yes. That face. That emotion. It hurts. In a few weeks, my Grocery Budget Makeover will open for registration and our fall 2017 online class will begin! Registration is only open for 6 days...we have a special workshop that is packed with great information AND encouragement. I only take 3 groups through the class each year...and this will be the last one in 2017! I … [Read more...]
Peach, Almond, Blue Cheese Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer...all of the amazing fresh produce and fun salads that you can "build." I think of salads as being "built." There's the lettuce base. There's something crunchy. There's something sweet-ish. There's something tangy. There's something creamy. There's the dressing. Sometimes there's the protein. In this case, we're … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken
This may look plain from the photo. (White food is hard to photograph...without adding garnishes...that I decided not to add for this one.) This may look simple. What is hard to see in the photo is the amazing amount of flavor loaded into the sauce and soaked into the chicken. Cream of mushroom + Ranch dressing mix + garlic (as much as you like!) + thicken the creamy sauce … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Candy Brownies
Fall Brownies are Peanut Butter Candy Brownies! Peanut Butter Candy Brownies are the perfect combination of chewy brownies and the best chocolate candies. Oh. Hey. Hi. So sorry. *said with brownie bits falling out of my mouth* I was too busy stuffing my face with these uh-mazing brownies to notice you were there. LOL Kidding. Kinda. Sorta. Not … [Read more...]

New Recipe! Peach Dump Cake
I don't make dessert often, but when I do...it needs to be easy-peasy. Like, this dump cake. Peaches + cake mix + butter. E-A-S-Y. So easy that my 7 year old could do it! That is the name of my dessert game these days. I love to treat my boys to yummy desserts...and I love to teach them how to make them (and work myself out of the job/teach them important life … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Greek Chicken
This slow cooker version is a spin from my Greek Chicken Bake. Both recipes are simple and fresh. With slight differences in ingredients. But the core "Greek" ingredients are there - olives, feta, lemon, oregano. My favorite thing about this slow cooker meal - it's very light and fresh. Lots and lots and lots of slow cooker meals are heavier, soupier, stewier, … [Read more...]
Coney Island Hot Dogs
The dog days of summer are here. There are days and weeks left until school routines start again. June and July passed in what felt like 5 minutes. But when you scroll back through your photo roll, you sure did have some great summer fun! (I know our family did!) We did eat a lot of hot dogs for lunch - because easy, delicious, kids can make themselves. And we … [Read more...]
3 Lunch Box Packing Essentials
These 3 lunch box packing are essentials in my kitchen. I'm big on consistency, simplicity and having just what I need. And these are what I use and need everyday for lunch box packing! Some of the kids work on their own lunches (with help from me, sometimes). And some of the kids get their lunches packed by yours truly. This year we will work on our 2nd grader … [Read more...]
