It’s Monday. AGAIN. I think we need a giveaway! Are you familiar with Rudi’s Organic Bakery? If you’re not, you should be! I am a big fan. In a perfect world, I’d all have my own fresh baked bread handy at all times. But, since most days I’m a hot-mess mommy just trying to keep […]

 Come visit me at Modern Parents Messy Kids today!  I’m sharing four variations on one of my new favorite snacks. It’s sure to make all the (big and little) tummies in your house very happy..

What I have for you today is simple. Just peaches and peppers. An easy side dish. It never occurred to me before that peaches might complement peppers, but somehow they do. I sauteed the peppers in grapeseed oil (you can use whatever fat you fancy) until soft and added in the thinly sliced peaches just […]

Happy Monday to all of you out there! It’s a fine evening to be scrolling the interwebs. I haven’t caught you up on all of the (super interesting) goings-on of the past few weeks, so get yourself a snack and settle in for some good, old-fashioned over-sharing! I have been hitting the ‘ol Instagram app […]

I’ve been a little scared to get back to baking. My brain is trained to grab the sugar immediately! But I am retraining.. and grabbing the honey instead. These brownies came about after a long internet search for a brownie recipe without refined sugar. I found black bean brownies, gluten-free brownies, vegan brownies.. but nothing […]

You guys. I have actually processed and put up almost all of the tomatoes that came out of the garden this year. This is MAJOR. I typically get so overwhelmed with the produce that some of it (okay, a lot of it) goes to the chickens. But this year, I’ve been on the top of […]

The last time we met, I told you about my sugar crisis. How’s it going, you ask? Well, here’s what I’ve been doing. Trying to eat whole foods as much as possible. Trying not to eat sugar or drink juice. Eating honey/maple syrup in moderation. Eating plenty of fruit. I couldn’t hack it without fruit […]

I know I’ve already shared some popsicles with you this summer (orange creamsicles and frozen banana pops), but I have been making way more pops than I’ve been able to photograph. They are a such a refreshing treat in these dog days- I can’t get enough of them! Here are some popsicles that are on […]

Come on over to MPMK today for some fun frozen treats! Some of them are even healthy enough to eat for breakfast. 🙂

You guys. I am having a major food-related crisis! If you have been reading the ol’ blog for a while, you probably know these things about me: A) I enjoy healthy foods and attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. B) I enjoy baking and creating desserts that are often FULL. OF. SUGAR. I have discovered […]

 My fellow Americans, I was going to share a new recipe with you today, but I just couldn’t get on board with it. Didn’t have the gumption. There is something strange about this week- I am feeling red, white and blah. I am blaming it on the 4th landing on a Wednesday this year, our […]

Here are some things I’d like to say about this heat wave. Something is not right when your properly-working-AC is chugging along 24/7 just to keep your house under 82 degrees. RIP to four of our chickens. Four! 108 degrees is brutal. And sorry to whatever poor garbage man has to pick up our trash […]
