Kids are so incredibly unique, even brothers. I'm always so surprised by how different their opinions can be about simple things like favorite flavors. Archie is obsessed with all things strawberry, Morrison loves more subtle flavors like vanilla, and Jaxon is always trying to fit more chocolate into his day. Recently Jaxon asked to be the … Continue reading Jaxon’s Double Chocolate Pancakes

Vegan Banana Bread
Banana bread, at home dude? Hell yeah. Shoutout to my hubby for consistently referencing this ridiculous video for the last month, thanks to him saying banana bread fourteen times a day it has been on my mind nonstop. If you don't get the reference and you'd like a little laugh you should look it up, … Continue reading Vegan Banana Bread

The truth is I have never felt better and my food choices are certainly not suffering … Continue reading Vegan Favorites
Smoothie Planning
So! I wanted to replace my fattening morning breakfast sandwich or my big bowl of nothing every morning with a more healthy decision. I bought about $30.00 worth of fruits (and some vegetables), flax seed and yogurt, then preprepared ten smoothies and stuck the Ziploc bags into the freezer door. I ended up making four … Continue reading Smoothie Planning
Tricking Toddlers Into Eating Vegetables

Whatever they've sworn off of, there is a way to beat it. My oldest boy ate hummus before ice cream, by … Continue reading Tricking Toddlers Into Eating Vegetables
Good Morning
This morning my toddler alarm clock went off, but lucky for me I was already out of bed and about halfway through my first cup of coffee. Sitting on the couch I heard some shuffling in his room followed by my favorite morning catchphrase, "I have to go pee." This morning though it was abruptly … Continue reading Good Morning
