In an effort to make life simple, we are meal planning every week. Aiming for easy family dinners that make everyone happy. Now that school as started, I’ve found it is even more important to map out everything we will be eating so that I don’t have to make last minute shopping trips. It is nice to know that when...

I feel like it is ground hog’s day when I post. It has, again, been ages since my last blog entry. Life has been full & so good. My hope is that if you are reading this you are all doing well, too. Our little one’s are out on summer break right now and it is a luxury to be...

Feel like it has been a while since I posted a menu plan. We have been enjoying eating mostly Whole 30 meals for a few weeks and while we have menu planned- we have also had some delicious, spontaneous meals. I love to menu plan because our kitchen gets stocked up with wonderful produce and items we can play around...

Menu planning today was fun- it is dreary outside and we are having a super lazy day. As I type this, at almost 1 PM, I am still in my robe. Bliss! Spring break starts for both kids on Friday. We are lucky that they have the same time off because they are in different counties. We are heading to...

Good morning and happy Sunday! This week’s menu is planned out and we have a theme: SALADS! It has to be this sunny weather, but I am craving big, beautiful dinner salads. Sometimes having a theme makes finding recipes easy, and this week that holds true. I couldn’t be happier with the meals we have planned for this week and...

This crust has become a craving that won’t quit. It is the perfect blend of flavors and has one of my all-time favorite functional foods: TURMERIC! I love this vibrant yellow, anti-inflammatory spice. The flavors in this dish are out of this world. This is a one-pan lunch or dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. Nothing beats that!...

Good morning! I hope that you all are having a great weekend- the weather in Jacksonville yesterday was pure bliss! We overdosed on sunshine and all slept like a dream last night. Just wrapped up our menu planning session for this week. My goal for our menu is to create a bunch of leftovers. Michael is not traveling at all...

I get asked a lot about snacks- we live in a world where we are all constantly moving from one thing to the next. Portable food is a part of all of our lives. It can be hard to make the right choices sometimes. A mom recently asked me to share my favorite snacks for kids and I knew this...

Coffee has come a long way in our house. I have talked before about how early Michael and I wake up each day- our alarm goes off at 3:50 AM. I savor that time with him each day. We sip our coffee, watch the news (yes, there is news on that early 😉 ) and catch up with each other....
