Valentine’s Day is upon us folks! And with it comes the usual push of manufactured, blah candies and chocolates. No offense to those who enjoy them, but they’re just not my thing. Anywhoo . . . I thought it would be timely to share with you a homemade chocolate treat you can really spoil your …
I feel like life has started firing on all cylinders lately! Both of my boys ( yes, BOTH) are in school now (Oli started preschool earlier this month!), we are in the process of buying a house, and I am busy taking everybody to all the things while squeezing in errands, training runs and lots …
I am all about quick-and-easy, toddler-friendly snacks lately. My days go much more smoothly when my son is happy. And yummy snacks make him happy. Yummy, healthy snacks make Mommy happy 😉 Enter: Banana Raisin Oatmeal Cups. These snacks come together very easily and are freezer friendly, which means they are a mom’s best friend. I love …
Good afternoon, guys! I’d like you all to meet my Cranberry Oat Crunch Balls (that doesn’t sound weird at all, right?). These babies are my new HANGRY solution. Ten minutes is literally all the time it takes to throw these together, and they are SO. GOOD. I developed these last week in a pinch when …

Fall also features many of my favorite flavors and foods of the year: pumpkin (& all other squash varieties), apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and all the comfort foods. Mmm mmm mmmmm. …
I’m a big fan of hummus. Like, an I-will-eat-it-with-a-spoon-from-the-container kind of fan. Fresh, homemade hummus is even better (and way cheaper!) and soooo simple to make. So last week, when I needed to make a quick appetizer for a family gathering, I knew what I wanted to make. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any garbanzo beans …
One of the “perks” of pregnancy is the absentmindedness that often messes with you–particularly in the third trimester. Well . . . earlier this week, that absentmindedness got a bit physical. I got out a jar of salsa to have with some blue corn chips (hello, salt craving!). Put it on the counter and got …
