5 Quick Breakfast Ideas

One week of school is in the books, and I’m still alive.  Turns out waking up early isn’t so hard if you make it to bed on time.  (I know, duh.) Joe and I have about 20 minutes for breakfast, so I’m getting back into the mode of making something quick and filling.  Quick so we don’t have to cram it down our throats in 2 minutes, and filling so…

Penne Pasta with Grilled Eggplant and Zucchini

Joe starts first grade tomorrow. At 7:20. A.M. Have I mentioned I’m not a morning person?  Summer for us consists of baseball games and midnight bed times.  The transition isn’t going to be easy.  Knowing the lazy days of summer were coming to an end sent me on a grocery shopping spree, stocking up on healthy food, snack food, and pantry staples.  I even made a meal-plan Pinterest board to…

Gluten-Free Zucchini Muffins (with chocolate chips, of course)

Jeff had two days off for the all-star break this week, so our family did a mini staycation at a local water resort. We sipped on cold drinks, played in the waves, and took 3-hour naps even though we insisted we were not tired. I repeat, we were NOT TIRED. For my personal food safety (and to save money) we packed all of our own food for the hotel stay.…

Here’s how you do it. You will need 1/2 cup rice flour 1/2…

Gluten-Free Banana Breakfast Cookies

A few years ago I started making breakfast cookies. Most mornings I’m a grab-n-go kind of person, and who doesn’t like the idea of eating a cookie for breakfast? But then I went gluten-free, and my baking life came to a halt. I wasn’t a huge fan of baking to begin with (it’s so messy…and precise), and the extra challenge of baking without gluten just overwhelmed me. But oh, how…

Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

I love this recipe for Avocado Grapefruit salad. So fresh and simple!

I’m back!  Well, sort of.  I’m kind of enjoying the lazy, crazy days of summer that leave us looking happily spent at the end of the day.  We’ve been doing lots of swimming, fort building, game playing, and reading.  Dinners with friends, art classes, playdates and simple meals. I had my friend Amy over one day, and as our kids ran screaming around the house, we shared good conversation over…

Grilled Cilantro Shrimp Tacos and a Clean Eating Giveaway!

***Contest has now ended**** When I met Michelle Dudash a few months ago, not only was she the cutest little mama I ever did see, but her passion for food was instantly apparent.  She has a way of taking the seemingly overwhelming chore of getting healthy meals on the table that everyone in the family will actually eat, and turning it into a quick and simple task that anyone can…
