Hey there friends! I hope you are doing well! I am back today with another great recipe- one that you will definitely need to add to that recipe box! 🙂 Inspired by our local health food store’s cafe, I have taken this smoothie and made a few of my own personal changes. Not only is it delicious and kid approved, it is jam packed with nutrients! This could definitely pass...
This granola. Wow. I have been trying for some time to come up with the perfect adjective to describe how absolutely delicious it is. The word, “delicious” doesn’t seem to do it justice by any means! Instead, more fitting would be descriptives such as, “scrumptious”, “completely satisfying”, “delectable”, and “mouthwatering”. I mean, seriously—I have made four batches already since recently coming across the recipe by Kristine from Kristine’s Kitchen: Nourishing...
As a mama to five kiddos, the youngest being twins who breastfeed every four hours, I am fully aware of the importance of having power snacks that I can grab on the go! And, the more I visit with fellow moms, I have learned that I am not alone! Getting the nutrients we need in the midst of our busy days, can often be a challenge. I created these power...
Hello, my wonderful friends! Can you believe that the fall weather is quickly approaching us and that we are moving into the harvest season? I don’t know about you, but there is something about the fall season that is so inviting. The crisp air, the beautifully designed fall colored leaves, the bountiful options of pumpkin recipes on Pinterest ;), apple orchards, hayrides, bonfires, a cup of soup….mmmmm…. I just feel...
“Mom, Jesus healed me!” These were the words so confidently spoken by my second son a few weeks ago as the morning sun was peeking through the window shades. My heart melted, and I smiled at his genuine, childlike faith. The bruise remained, but my son didn’t see the mark. Instead, he believed in a Healer, a God that had made his world better and beautiful. You see, two days...
Ahhh….Summer is just about here, and that means many of us are looking forward to cookouts with family and friends. Sunshine, water fights, laughter, delicious food, bonfires… I can almost feel the warmth of the flames and smell the smoke as I imagine our marshmallows roasting over the fire. Yes, summer get togethers bring fond memories. For many of us, when we think of a summer get together, we can’t...
Chocolate….Did I ever tell you how much I love it? Yep, I think I did…many times, in fact! 🙂 If not, you could probably guess that chocolate is on my mind often by how many posts have included a recipe containing this treat! 🙂 I promise you, though…other “food groups” are in my kitchen, and I have a couple delicious side dishes to post soon, ones that are sure to...
Hello to you all, and happy May! I am so excited to share another delicious brownie recipe with you today, one that I am sure will please your taste buds!:) Although I do have a couple brownie recipes on this blog, this fudge-filled dessert is a bit more “cake-like” in texture. Oh my….Dear friends…It is absolutely yummy!! One of the reasons this recipe excites me is because it uses Otto’s...
Each year at Easter time, I pull out one of my favorite recipes to serve: a layered berry trifle. One of my favorites includes layers of berries, a mix of cream cheese with whip cream (I love using Truwhip as a replacement for Kraft Cool Whip. It is so delicious, holds up well, and is healthy alternative!), and dense gluten-free pound cake. Now, I will admit: Each time I have...
Ah… Sometimes nothing feels better at night than a delicious bowl of ice cream accompanied with your favorite toppings, right?! Couple that with a warm brownie, and all of the sudden, everything seems right with the world. 🙂 Hey, I have been there. The “sweet tooth” is real. But what do you do when the sweet tooth strikes often (like mine)? Is there a substitute that is not only delectable,...
