Happy Birthday – Star Wars Style

Earlier this year my Reid turned 7 … SEVEN! We celebrated with a Star Wars themed birthday party and it was just too fun and delicious not to share the details! Inspired by our Millennium Falcon waffle maker we planned a Star Wars brunch. The kids had such a blast coming up with names for […]

Awesome At Home Haircuts with The Haircut Box

Ready to hear about the discovery of the year? It’s The Haircut Box … a bundle of supplies and lessons all about how to give awesome haircuts at home. I know, I know. That’s not your thing. You’re less than professional. You don’t want to mess up your little one’s hair. But trust me, you […]

Corn Casserole

Upon becoming Texans my sister-in-law introduced us to the most wonderful side dish. Ya’ll, corn casserole is absolutely delicious! Truly my favorite thing when we get together for a meal. This dish is perfect with Mexican fare, holiday spreads, and, of course, all things barbecue. My personal favorite is a big ol’ scoop on the […]

Peanut Butter & Jelly Arbonne Protein Shake

It’s been on my to do list for quite a little while to share my most favorite protein shakes ever! It’s creamy and delicious while still being wonderfully healthy. I blend this up 3-4 times a week and have yet to gt tired of it. For a few years now I’ve been on the Arbonne […]

Creamy Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes with Thyme

My mom first made this recipe over a decade ago. I had made it clear that mashed potatoes were not my favorite and so, she procured and mastered a delicious scalloped potato option for our holiday menu. Over the years these potatoes have become a family staple – for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and many other […]

Princess Belle Smoothie

I’ve made it a goal to get veggies into my boys via smoothie a few times each week. For a long time they baulked at the idea of a GREEN SMOOTHIE or any other that had a hint of vegetable despite how delicious it may be. And then I named our typical green smoothie … […]

Protein Packed Lentil Banana Bread

​​​​​​​Ok, this is gonna be a fun one! My very first, completely modified recipe! Like, I took a traditional fave and made it quite a bit healthier. I mean, lentils? In banana bread? YES! Jem confirmed, she never would have guessed about the lentils. And the boys gobbled it down. Mama win! You see, with […]

Roasted Garlic

I have always loved garlic. If a recipe calls for one clove, expect two from me … “in the name of wellness”, because, garlic is a real gem in both flavor and immune boosting properties. I’m sure it can be overdone, but I’ve yet to experience that. Take today’s recipe for example, it’s all about […]

Carrot Curry Soup

Well, well! Nothing like rolling in with a fresh recipe as a blog comeback, yeah? We hung out in Dallas last week and in an attempt to make a healthier choice I opted for carrot curry soup over pizza at the Perot Museum cafeteria. I was skeptical and then … it was delicious! My one […]
