Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you wearing your green? How about eating something green? We celebrated last night by making cauliflower popcorn with green cauliflower from our Bountiful Basket. I always love roasting our green cauliflower, but this time I was inspired by my RD friend Danielle Omar’s photo on Facebook of popcorn cauliflower. It’s basically the same thing, just in smaller pieces. But calling it popcorn made…
How often do you cook and eat meals at home as a family? Once a week? More? Many people I talk to are under the impression that healthy dinners take way too much time to put together and that grabbing fast food or a microwavable meal is just part of a busy family’s life.

Joe’s biggest concern was finding out where they store all of the bubble gum.

One thing I didn’t want to leave at our first house was the growth chart on the door frame of our study. Those little pencil lines marking moments in time. But how do you move a door frame?

Since our move, I have been trying to get back into the groove of planning and cooking healthy dinners for the family. Thankfully, we have had beautiful weather and have been able to eat most meals outside. It seems to put the kids in a better mood during meals which means they have a better attitude towards trying new things and end up eating more! Score! One of the meals…
Meet my newest breakfast obsession, overnight oats. I wanted to try overnight oats because I don’t like the texture of instant oats, and I want breakfast faster than the time it takes to cook rolled oats. Overnight oats take 2 minutes to throw together at night and 2 minutes to heat up in the morning (you can even eat them cold if you want to). You get all of the…
