Gluten-Free Oatmeal Muffins
My kids love muffins. Probably more than they love me. I mean, muffins are awesome. They’re fluffy and sweet, and if you’re in the mood, they freeze really well so you can make a huge batch and have muffins for literal months. I used to make huge batches of mini muffins when Smalls was little.…
Read MoreCherry Cheesecake Smoothie Recipe
It’s only spring, and already we’re baking here in Texas. Yesterday it was in the 90s. In May. So I headed to Kroger after church in search of something to cool off. And of course, I ended up in the freezer section. Obviously. Now, I’m not normally not one to buy ice cream on a…
Read MoreHoney Salmon Recipe With Sesame
I grew up in the PNW (or Pacific Northwest, for those of you who have no idea what ‘PNW’ means). When I was in high school, my dad bought a fishing boat and went up to Alaska to fish for salmon. Saying that I’m a little bit spoiled is an understatement. In fact, since we’ve…
Read MoreSalad in a Jar 101
I’m a huge fan of salad, but salads aren’t exactly portable…or they didn’t use to be. In the past few years, salad in a jar has become a huge hit. Basically, you build a salad in a mason jar (with dressing!) and then you can just dump it into a bowl and dig in when…
Read MoreHow to Use Chia Seeds
I grew up in the 80s, and I remember when chia seeds were the rage because that was how you grew hair on your Chia Pet. Remember those? I can still hear the “cha-cha-cha-chia!” jingle in my head. But if you’re trying to find out how to use chia seeds that’s not the method I’m going…

Have you every avoided trying something new (a recipe, a workout, or even a coffee shop) because you thought it would be too hard, too far, or too much work. Sound familiar? I find that I use these silly excuses to avoid trying new things all the time. It’s so much easier to sit in…
Read MoreWhat is a Buddha Bowl?
What is a Buddha bowl is a question I ran into the other day, after a few hours spend on Pinterest. Raise your hand if you’ve ever gotten lost searching on Pinterest for a recipe when you’re really hungry and then you realize that it’s been literally hours. Keep it up if you’ve asked yourself…
Read MoreGarlic Lemon Roasted Brussels Sprouts
When I had the boys, I was determined to introduce them to more vegetables. I wanted them to get excited about new fruits and vegetables. It was great…at first. Most of the time I think that I ended up hiding them, to be perfectly honest. Pumpkin pancakes, zucchini fritters, beet pancakes (you can get that recipe…
Read MoreCaffeine-Free Chai Latte
So. I started an elimination diet this past week. And one thing that I eliminated was caffeine. I know. I hear you. How dare they?! My beloved coffee, gone. My black and green (and white) teas, gone. It’s temporary, but I’m definitely missing my daily cuppa. Now, I wasn’t one who needed cups and cups…
Read More2-Ingredient Breakfast Ice Cream {Quest Nutrition}
I miss cereal. And before you tell me that I still have plenty of gluten free options, just stop. I mean that I miss the sugary, bad-for-you stuff that my mom was smart enough to keep out of the house (even it the eighties). Sponsored Post: This post is sponsored by Quest Nutrition but the…
