This drink is a perfect summer treat for the little ones in the family. I love that it doesn’t have any added sugar or artificial coloring. Serve with a twist of lime peel for added festiveness. Ingredients 1 pound watermelon Juice from 1 lime 1 cup sparkling water (lime flavored is nice) Instructions
Grilled Chicken Tenderloins
This chicken is perfect for summer. The small cut of chicken tenderloin is perfect for grilling, because of how fast it cooks. It is still so juicy inside. It is my go to lately, and we may or may not be having it once a week until I see snow again. Serve this chicken as…
Rainbow Summer Rolls
Eloise has been very into “rainbow order” of colors lately. Specifically putting all of her Magna Tiles into rainbow order during clean up time. Is this a newfound fascination with rainbow order, or procrasti-cleaning at it’s best? Regardless, I thought it would be fun to include some rainbow themed foods this week. You can use…
Citrus French Toast Sticks
I don’t know why, but I have been obsessed with breakfast food lately. I cannot get enough, and I am listening to the craving. I never understood the appeal of french toast over pancakes until I used proper bread. As much as a appreciate whole wheat bread, you just don’t get the same custardy middle…
Most Buttery Gluten Free Pancakes Yet
I am on a pancake kick. I have accepted it. I have even considered starting a second blog just to document my obsession. This new pancake recipe is my husband’s favorite texture so far. I think it has something to do with the butter in the batter and also cooking them in butter. They came…
Simple Oat Cakes
I have had in my brain for a while, the concept of a simple, whole grain pancake. I wanted it to be whole grain, sweetener free (so that I feel good giving it to the baby), and obviously delicious enough for me to want to eat it. I think I finally have it. I give…
3 Ingredient Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
This is installment two of “ignoring the clear signs of winter around me”. We used our Fresh Squeezed Lemonade from last week to make some popsicles. We are getting small snow flurries this week, but my brain has already completely moved on from winter. I’m ready for farmer’s markets, biking around town, and Picnic Thursdays….
Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
I am in denial that it’s still cold here in Colorado. I’ve put most of our winter clothes in storage under the beds, gone to parks and playgrounds under-dressed, and made this fresh squeezed lemonade outside with Eloise last week. Has winter had it’s last stand? Am I free to soak up the sun a…
Spring Naan Pizza
It’s thawing here in Colorado. The snow drifts are melting, the sun is shining through the haze, and tulips are popping up all over my flowerbeds. Did Easter get anyone else in the mood for all things spring? I spent part of the weekend spring cleaning the basement, and I found at least 5 things…
Easy Steamed Carrot Hack
My preschooler has been into baby carrots and hummus lately. It’s been her go to snack, and I am for it. Does anyone else feel like supermom when their kid eats a vegetable dipped into another vegetable? The only problem is that my toddler always want what everyone else is having. In theory, this is…
Skillet Chicken Fajitas
This marinade is one of the most delicious things I have eaten outside of a Tex Mex restaurant. It is my new staple when I’m craving home, and I want to share it with you. These days we could all use a little restaurant quality fajitas without dealing with the stress of going out. I…
