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…
July Seasonal Foods
Misfits Market is a Game Changer
Seasonal organic produce delivered to my door!? Yes, please!!! I first learned of Misfits Market from my husband. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised! He knows I love a good deal and that I shop organic, so when he saw an ad about Misfits Market he messaged me right away. We read their story and…
Very Simple Veggie Sushi
I made this for a quick inexpensive dinner at the end of the month when my grocery budget was almost gone. It was a big hit with the kids and it has stayed as a monthly staple. Sometimes the kids help assemble the sushi rolls and other times I make them ahead and it is…

Homemade Trail Mix

Salad in a Jar
Who buys lettuce and then it goes bad because you never have TIME to prepare a simple salad during the day? I know I have had that happen many times. I love salads, but finding time to put it together is hard with my busy, always changing schedule with three kids. Preparing meals ahead of…
Tilapia Tacos
This is another option for a Taco Night filling. You can use it in your homemade tortilla shells or I personally enjoy it on my romaine lettuce boats. It is a meal you leave feeling satisfied but not stuffed. It is such a light simple meal that the whole family will enjoy. Mine does! You…
