Hello to you all! I apologize for my absence in the last several months. I do feel like I have somewhat of an excuse as we just gave birth to our third child (our first girl) on August 21st! Nora Kathryn is a bundle of love, and I am definitely enjoying the fact that I have another girl in the house! 🙂 Still, all of that to say…I have missed...
Recently, most of us, if we have followed the media, have all been made aware of the tremendous focus there has been (within the US as well as areas outside the country) to mandate and more heavily push vaccines. This undoubtedly has left several mothers wondering how much choice they have when it comes to making health decisions for their children. Are there other ways to protect our children from...
It’s no secret…I am definitely in love with chocolate, particularly chocolate brownies. If I am honest, I have something on hand every week! 🙂 Am I addicted? Probably. 🙂 These brownies have been my “go to” dessert for quite a while; they also have been successful at satisfying the sweet tooth of family and friends. I am incredibly grateful to Erica from the Comfy Belly for this delicious recipe. I...
I am excited to introduce to you Steve Frazier and his wife, Dr. Brenda Frazier, PhD, the founders of the company, Dr. Noodles. I had the opportunity to meet both of them as they promoted their product at our local health food store. One taste of this delicious, grain-free pasta, and I knew I had found a superior product. I was also convinced that I had to ask them if...
This one is a winner. It is such a delicious and warming soup recipe, and I can hardly wait for you to try it! Plus, while we have a couple colder days still in the weather forecast, isn’t it nice to have a few simple, yet absolutely satisfying, soups to use from your recipe file? 🙂 This one is great for many reasons: it is gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free. Plus,...
I know, I know…I am a couple days late with this one! I had planned to have this post ready for St. Patty’s Day, but unfortunately (or not:)), I drank this delightful smoothie before I gave myself a moment to take a picture. So, I just promised myself another smoothie the next day…and the next. 🙂 Yes, I have had three of these since March 17th, but I am not...
Recently, my oldest son had his third birthday, and as I write this, I can’t believe we have had three of these celebrations already. “Is he really three?” I ask myself. Then I remind myself of the importance of cherishing each moment, for I have learned this to be true: time does fly. 🙂 In light of the conversation of cherishing each moment, one of the things I have always...
I recently discovered this recipe from Living Healthy With Chocolate and decided to give them a whirl. Why not, right?! I had all the ingredients in my pantry, so I proceeded with excitement. The recipe that I have posted here contains a few modifications, just because I wanted to add a little of my own creative ideas, but I can guarantee you that the original recipe is absolutely delicious too!!...
I have missed you all! I apologize for my “blog posting absence”, but I have been busy collecting a few more delicious recipes for you all! This one comes from Lauren Geertsen’s blog, Empowered Sustenance. She writes that she originally received this recipe from her friend, Melanie. I encourage you to check out Lauren’s great recipes and her insights on health and wellness. I believe you will find great resources...
My love for chocolate, peanut butter, and dates inspired me to give this recipe a whirl, and all I can say is, “Wowza!” These are AMAZING. I am not even kidding; you need to have made these yesterday. Not only are they delicious, but they are an excellent choice for a treat. Dates are packed with nutrients: fiber, potassium, iron, B vitamins, and vitamins A and K, just to name...
