We try to eat healthy and sometimes finding healthy snacks (that everyone agrees on) can be challenging. Popcorn is my go-to snack when I get in one of those I-need-to-really-snack moods. I wanted something that was salty, crunchy an sweet. With it being close to Valentine’s day, I thought using something red would be fun….and […]
Unfortunately, I have a sweet tooth and sometimes get some serious sugar cravings! While eating healthy and clean has helped it a lot, I still get an occasional craving. After indulging over the holidays, I (like most people) am trying to get back to healthy eating. Therefore, I thought I would share some tricks that have […]
Chocolate covered strawberries seem to go hand in hand with Valentine’s Day. However, the same flavors also make a wonderful smoothie that is healthier and you can enjoy any day! Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie 8 ounces of milk – I use almond or coconut milk 1 TBLSP of cocoa powder – adjust depending on taste 1 […]

My kids love these and I hope you do, too! No-Bake Healthy Cookies 1 cup organic Nut butter (we like the all natural Peanut butter with natural oils) 1/2 […]
Have you tried nutritional yeast? I had never even heard of it until I started migrating to more of a vegetarian diet. It seemed this ingredient was mentioned in numerous vegetarian/vegan cookbooks and conversations. So, I decided to try it and now I am hooked! I love it! It has a nutty, cheesy flavor that goes […]
As crazy as it sounds, popcorn has a special place in my heart as it always makes me think of my dad. He has been making it since I was a child and still makes and loves it. If I am going to make popcorn on the stove, like my dad always did, I slightly […]
Recently a Trader Joe’s opened close to our home. My children love going to push the little shopping carts, to sample new treats and to find the strawberry (to get a lollipop). There are so many unique items there, I was unsure what to try first. Some of the treats we have been enjoying are: 1. […]
