This meal is for those nights you are trying to push grocery shopping day just a few more days. I usually keep frozen shrimp in my freezer for just this occasion. Frozen shrimp cook super fast, are a family favorite, provide some omega-3 fatty acids, and are a more sustainable seafood option. Plus, as 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…
Simple Strawberry-Banana Smoothie
This is my go to weekday smoothie recipe. I love that it has added flax (great for kiddos dealing with constipation), sneaky spinach, and uses ingredients I typically always have on hand. I like to serve the 16 month old’s in her Pura cup. The straw is large enough for her to easily drink the…
Easy Skillet Chicken Tikka with Cauliflower

Review of Gluten Free Dairy Free Immaculate Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough
I’m really a bake from scratch kind of girl, but sometimes it’s just a break and bake kind of day. I’ve seen this brand of cookie dough several times, and always wanted to try it. We figured week who knows of COVID is the perfect opportunity! Our local Sprouts carries it, and HEB also has…
Creamy Strawberry Banana Popsicle
We’ve been trying different popsicle flavors at our house lately. I love the simplicity of them. I love how excited my toddler is to make them. I love how excited she is to go outside and eat them. We’ve been having a popsicle snack when the 3 year old wakes up from her nap. We…
Peanut and Almond Powders, Are You Using Them Yet?
Flashback to 2017: the powers that be (the American Academy of Pediatrics) had completely flipped the allergen guidelines on their head. For those of you not in the world of tiny people or nutrition at the time, you may not have realized. Essentially (and I am heavily paraphrasing here) the guidelines went from waiting until…
Peaches, Berries, and Cream Popsicles
Summer has officially hit here in Houston. This means two things: First, if we don’t go outside before 10AM, we don’t go outside. Second, it’s popsicle season! If you haven’t made your own popsicles before, it can be intimidating, but I promise it’s just as easy as making a smoothie. You simply put that smoothie…
Sweet Potato Fritters
This weekend was a doozy. My husband and I both took on large house projects, while taking care of the kids. He built a raised bed in the back, while I painted the 14 large cabinets in our master bath. After our home flooded in Hurricane Harvey several years ago, we changed the color of…
Build Your Own Lunches
I keep seeing posts about how over cooking every single meal we all are. We are burnt out from trying to do at least 3 full time jobs all at once, with no respite. We are working, day-caring, cooking, home-schooling, worrying about the state of the world, and trying to connect with our loved ones…
Snack Tray Lunches
Weather has been warm and beautiful lately, and we have been enjoying outside lunches as much as possible these days. The easiest way to make this happen has been snack tray lunches. What is a snack tray lunch you ask? It’s where I pile all the leftovers and odds and ends from the fridge onto…
Cooking with Toddlers: Yogurt Edition
I have a confession. I do not like yogurt. I know, at this day and age we are all supposed to be working on our “gut health” and doing all the probiotic things, right? Yogurt, kombucha, kefir, sauerkraut, etc. We always had the little tubs of individually packaged yogurt with flavors that gave their best…
