Happy Friday! Hope that you are all waking up to a wonderful morning. One of my favorite ways to play around in the kitchen is to create smoothie recipes based on my favorite desserts. Carrot cake is most definitely a fav! We always get Publix carrot cake for family birthday’s in Michael’s family and we LOVE it. Now, this smoothie...

Sleep is my favorite thing. Good sleep is the epitome of self-care. It is a time for your body to recharge and rest. In our life I have found that we all just have more fun when we are well rested. Before diving into our current sleep habits, it is very important to note that I am not a night...

If our family had to pick a favorite type of food it would definitely be Italian! Michael’s nickname in my family is “Meatball” because his love of meatballs runs deep. Edie is the same, so she now goes by “Mini Meatball”. Italian is our thing! We adore this bolognese recipe and it is Evan’s favorite meal. Through our time in...

This quarantine has been teaching me that I love simplicity. Simple meals done right. Also, I don’t like doing dishes. The grill has been one of my favorite ways to prepare and prep meals over this time at home. First, the weather here couldn’t be more perfect to grill. I look forward to going outside and cooking food for the...

Good morning and happy Monday! As we embark on our 7th week at home, I have learned the recipes that I make the most each week. One recipe on constant repeat has been a weeknight chicken and veggie soup. I love this soup because it tastes like it simmered all day long, but can easily be pulled together on a...

I hope that if you try this one, you LOVE it. I remember that during our entire Whole 30 this was the recipe that was made the most by other people doing the Whole 30, too. It uses my most favorite nut butter: cashew! It is hard to choose a favorite nut and nut butter because I love them all....

Are you into eating chocolate ice cream smoothie bowls for breakfast? Cool, me, too. You are in good company. Starting the day with something sweet is it for me. I tend to associate savory meals with lunch and dinner and very rarely will go savory for breakfast. I like my breakfast to taste like dessert and I don’t hide it....

This recipe name explains this smoothie perfectly! When we were growing up there was a frozen custard shop by my grandparents in Altoona, PA. It was called “The Meadows” and I still dream about the day I get to take the E’s there for the first time. They had a magical, swirled Dreamsicle. I would get mine with colored sprinkles...

This is another recipe that was inspired by family. My grandmother’s favorite dessert was Coconut Cream pie. We grew up eating her favorite dessert on special occasions and this past year for my Mom’s birthday we mailed her one. Again, food brings us close to the one’s we love when we can’t be physically close to them. In my personal...

I will eat a mango any chance I get. They are hands down my favorite fruit and I may or may not battle Edie over who gets to eat the last one’s 😉 Don’t worry, I always give them to her! There is no way I could go through a smoothie series and not have a killer green smoothie recipe....
