My mom was visiting and made this green apple smoothie. The kids drank it up and asked for seconds! I loved the flavor as well and it has since been a staple in our house. We change the original recipe up from time to time depending what we have on hand. Here are a few…
Snacks
Lunch & Snack Meal Prep
On Sundays we meal prep! This is still very new to me with staying consistent at it, but lunch and snacks prepped on Sunday really make the week go smoother and help me stay on track! I prep for myself and my husband. To help me portion our meals it I use my trusty Portion…
Cucumber Salad
With cucumbers in season, this is a wonderful dish to make for a light lunch or for a side for dinner. I am sure your friends would love it for a side dish at a gathering as well! Super simple to throw together, the longer it sits to marinate in the refrigerator the better the…
Road Trip Snacks in a Bag
Road Trip Snacks! We do not live close to family, so we find ourselves traveling a lot in the car. Most trips are around 10 hours long and I like to just get to our destination. Stopping for food breaks isn’t my thing, so I make snack bags and enough food to last for the…
Oat Breakfast Bars (FIXATE)
This is great for a Sunday meal prep breakfast or after school snack. My kids actually made these themselves by watching our FIXATE cooking show on our Beachbody On Demand account. We get fitness and amazing cooking show recipes at our fingertips!! Check it out and all that it has to offer at my site…
Homemade Trail Mix

Say goodbye to Jelly!
It all started when I ran out of jelly one day. I started making the kids sandwiches for school that morning, when I noticed I was out of jelly. There was no time to run to the store, so I got creative. I decided to slice up some banana to go along with my daughters…
Raw Ranch Dip
Get ready to have your mind blown!!! This dip, that could possibly be a salad dressing, is amazing! It is healthy and has NO DAIRY but taste like it does. I found this at a Whole Foods Raw Food cooking class. You just have to try it once to taste what I am talking about….
Toasted Sweet Pecans
This recipe doesn’t take much effort but it does take time, so you need to be home and near your kitchen for at least an hour. It is so worth it though, and is great for gift giving during the holidays. I personally have continued my mother’s tradition of making big patches and giving them…
Yogurt Parfait
Quinoa in a yogurt parfait?? What?! Will this taste good? That is what I thought at first. I made one of these for a meal prepped snack for my week. The kids aren’t as big of a fan of the quinoa, so I take that out for breakfast and add in some granola on top….
