Food

Last November I wrote about several items from Trader Joe’s that have really helped me to speed up and simplify cooking dinner on work nights. Blog readers and friends told me that they found my suggestions helpful, so I decided to write a...

disclaimer: I was paid to write this post, however I did purchase a large box of Space Girl Organics produce. The post is 100% true and my kids really DID get excited and I really DID feel like Mother of the...

Having used the Booginhead pacifier clips when the girls were younger, and liking them, I suspected that I would also like the Booginhead Bib and Cape Set and BooginHead WOW Melamine Cup Set. And I definitely did. However, it’s...

Today I began the first day of a two-week pre-op eating plan to reduce the fatty deposits on my liver. “Eating” plan is a misnomer. It’s more like a not-eating plan. It feels to a person who is accustomed...

In the latter part of 2015, I was introduced to ALDI through a couple of my friends who frequent the Oviedo location on a regular basis. They raved about how much cheaper it was and all these great items they...

Fall is officially here! Especially with the last few days of brisk, cool weather! If there's one thing that says fall... it's pumpkins! Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake. Of course Publix has rows of perfectly aligned pumpkin purée striping...

If you are like me, a little chocolate or sweet bite is a must at some point in our day, so why feel guilty about it?! I am not the greatest baker, but somehow I conquered a delicious, completely nutritious...

There's one thing that I absolutely LOVE about fall. Apples. And there's one thing that I'm always on the lookout for. Recipes. I recently discovered Winn-Dixie's “Cooking with Curtis for under $10” program. It's a program that offers customers fresh, seasonal, and affordable meals that can...

Scrolling through social media can sometimes make you feel that you need to completely stock your freezer with 3 months of healthy AND kid approved meals to be successful in meal planning with freezer meals. I’m here to tell...

It’s back-to-school time - that time of year for lots of great blog posts with suggestions for making healthy school lunches. Pictures accompanying these articles run the gamut from ultra-Pinteresty to simple suggestions for quick and healthy lunches. And...

I'm a random girl with a crazy life and a brain that rarely shuts down. I need things in my life that are not only easy to do, but worth my time and attention (which is rather limited!). Below...

Super EASY and tastes delish! And when you are starving with a demanding toddler and a newborn that needs to nurse, your body will THANK YOU for these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Lactation Energy Balls! Ingredients: I get most all my ingredients from Costco,...
