Have you ever made your own Trail Mix? They are convent to buy but even more fun to make as a family activity! Less sugar in our homemade variety too! We have been having some warmer weather (60’s) this past week, so I decided to get out for a nature walk with the kids. We made…

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…
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….
Sour Cream Chicken and Veggies

Pakistani Kima
I found this recipe at Wellness Mama around 2013 and it became a favorite dish I made after the birth of my son because it was simple and easy to make with little clean up. Any mother loves a one pot dish! The only thing that takes time with this dish is the dicing of…
Sunday Homemade Pancakes
I make a big batch of these on Sunday to use as leftovers for a quick Monday morning breakfast to start the week out. The kids help mix the ingredients and it is homemade from scratch! That gives it extra points right?! All you need is a large bowl to sift together the flour, baking…
Build Your Own Family Meals
Thanksgiving is a huge family holiday. We gather around together, we eat, we give thanks and it is a wonderful day full of memories and traditions. I enjoy creating meals that bring that kind of family togetherness all throughout the year. Family togetherness is very important to me. I grew up as an only child,…
Healthy Breakfast Blueberry Muffins
Before you begin any recipe you need to make sure you have all the ingredients. I have been there so many times where I start cooking and I find out I am missing a main ingredient half way into my recipe. Here below, I laid everything I needed out. I normally use coconut milk…
