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....
Good morning and happy Easter weekend! It has been well over a month since I last shared our family menu plan for the week. We went through a period of time where we were using ingredients that we had on hand to plan our meals and it was so nice to clean out the pantry and the freezer. We would...
There is something very therapeutic about menu planning for me. I love to look at beautiful food pictures, imagine what the meals taste like and think about what our family would enjoy eating. At first, menu planning felt like another item on my to-do list. Now that I know the benefits of menu planning. It is a vital part of...
It is fun when you can take seasonal eats- like sweet potatoes- and add them into your smoothies! For this recipe, I used purple sweet potatoes because I love their dense texture and vibrant, violet hue. When I found these in the market I had these visions of creating a smoothie with cinnamon and blueberries to compliment both the color...
Good morning, and happy Sunday! What a spring break week- Legoland was a total success and my sister and her husband were able to come and stay with us for the latter part of the week.

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...
Good morning! I am sitting here sipping my superfood butter coffee (I have a post coming on this soon!) and just wrapped up our menu for this week. It is exciting to feel the weather warm up and already feel our menu trending toward the foods I love in the warmer months. This week is all about ease and speed....
