Pumpkin Puree + How to Roast a Pumpkin
I love fall. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and it’s absolutely beautiful outside. Normally, I’d be frustrated by the amount of rain, but that seems to be a moot point this year. The weather has been nothing if not spectacular! I’ll take it, thankyouverymuch! With all of these 70 degree days, there’s…

I love breakfast. But sometimes, I get stuck in a rut. During the summer, I do a lot of smoothies and protein shakes (obviously not right now with my Unprocessed October Challenge), but in the winter, I tend to want more sustenance. Odd that when it gets cold my mouth really wants to chew! I…
Read MoreSimple Smoothie Packets
At my house, we love smoothies. Green smoothies, fruit smoothies, protein smoothies…just about anything that comes out of my blender is an instant hit. In fact, for the past 3 years, I’ve made Ish the exact same smoothie for breakfast. That’s right. Since he drinks his breakfast every single morning, it must be good! Smalls is…
Read MoreUnprocessed October: My Weekly Shopping Trip
In the spirit of Unprocessed October, I’ve decided to share with you my weekly shopping, which is 100% organic, and unprocessed. While I know that I could clip coupons, buy ‘conventionally grown’, and shop strictly on sale, I would rather cut my budget in other places and feed my family healthy, organic foods. This trip…
Read MoreOatmeal Smoothie Recipes that Will Rock Your World
Since Smalls started preschool (and that experience is a post in and of itself!), I’ve been hard-pressed to find quick and easy breakfasts that don’t require stove time and taste yummy. So I’ve turned to smoothies…oatmeal smoothie recipes, specifically. Why oatmeal? Well… Oatmeal Smoothie Recipes that Will Rock Your World I’ve found that it helps…

I’ll admit it…I’m a pumpkin-flavored everything fan. In fact, as I type this, I’m sitting here drinking at double tall, free-poured, breve, Pumpkin Spice Latte and noshing on a pumpkin scone. Yup. Score 800 calories for breakfast! To add to this, I didn’t work out this morning, since Ish had to be AT WORK at…

Now, I love Pinterest (You can follow me HERE if you’d like), but sometimes, I am pretty sure that it was invented by the devil himself…. See, I LOVE food (in case you didn’t know), and my recipe boards are chalk full of delicious concoctions that are just dying for me to make…the problem? 90%…

Read MoreCopycat Lemon Larabar Recipe
Smalls will be 3 (I know, right?!) this summer, and I also am self-employed, on top of being a Work From Home Mom. SO. There’s that. BUT, I made the most amazing copycat lemon Larabar recipe this morning for our snack, and I just had to share it with you. Jump to the recipe. Copycat Lemon Larabar…
Read MorePumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Last night I got a bit creative with my breakfast. Rather than my usual morning protein shake, I made overnight oats. While they’re a bit higher in calories than my shakes, they are a nice treat every now and again. As I was making them, I realized that I was totally out of chocolate almond…
