A great breakfast on the go – or way to get your toddler to eat healthy oats and bananas!
There are few things better on a cold winter day than a big mug full of spiced apple cider while you wrap presents or simply camp out on the couch next to a fire. My friend, Aubrey, makes a delicious apple cider every time we attend a holiday dinner at her house and, after this past Thanksgiving, I couldn’t help but start making it myself. This is her recipe with a few alterations. Now, trust me when I say you really can’t get this wrong and you can add more, less or even leave out anything you’re not keen on and replace it with something else. That’s the best thing about holiday cider, it’s so easy to make it your own! Aubrey uses a blend of different juices in her recipe, but I’m super lazy and just buy a big jug of actual cider at Trader Joe’s. With that, literally…
Every weekend I sit down and plan out dinners for the upcoming week and I thought it would be fun to share our menu with you guys from time to time. Hopefully it will offer a little bit of inspiration to your own weekly meals! As far as groceries, I (almost) always buy our proteins in bulk at Costco. Chicken breasts, a type of fish and ground turkey are always added to our cart when we go, so I know that’s what I have to work with as far as planning meals. Then, usually on Sundays, we’ll head to the store for produce and anything else that we’re missing. For the most part, these recipes are fairly healthy. We don’t do any type of special ‘diets’ in our home, but I do try to keep meals fairly clean and nutritious. That being said, I usually leave room in the menu…
my favorite snack recipe. Lately, I’ve been craving the sweetness of fruits and anything that crunches between my teeth. However, long before I was pregnant, one of my all-time favorite treats has been anything caramel apple flavored. This recipe combines my childhood favorites with my current pregnancy cravings and I couldn’t be more in love 🙂 One of the best things about this recipe is that it only involves three ingredients (although, sometimes I add chocolate chunks as a fourth if I’m feeling real crazy lol!). But, not only is it low on ingredients, it takes almost ZERO time to whip up! I’ve made this and taken it over as a contribution for dinner parties or events and it always gets rave reviews. Lately, though, I’ve been making a bowl of it on the weekends and then snacking on it all week long 🙂 Maybe not the healthiest, but I…
