Who doesn’t love Stonyfield Farm’s YoBaby banana yogurt?! I swear I bought that stuff for me before I had Camden. So I was more than glad to buy some for Camden as we started to get more adventurous in our food choices {hello avocado! strawberries? I kills them!}. Here’s the problem, okay, problems: 1. It’s more yogurt than Cam can eat in one sitting. 2. I already buy plain yogurt and YoKids for Tyler. How many freaking different kinds of yogurts are we going to have cluttering up my fridge?! 3. And they are pricey! Over $2 for 4 which isn’t … Continue reading

By now you know I love all things Frugal Girl. Kristen’s blog is my go-to for good, yet simple recipes. I now make her whole wheat bread at least once a week. That’s two loaves y’all! Tyler loves PB&J {or his latest: PB,S&H=Peanut butter, sliced strawberries, and honey.YUM!} on Frugal Girl’s whole wheat bread so when I was looking for new healthy snacks for his lunch, I immediately thought of her granola recipe. Well, initially, I was planning on making this Rosy Blu Handmade’s pumpkin spice granola that I pinned on Pinterest but Frugal Girl’s won out for having less ingredients and … Continue reading

So yesterday I finished watching Forks Over Knives. {Yes, finished, as in I couldn’t watch it all at once. It’s not long, I just have a case of the 8 month olds} If you haven’t seen this life changing documentary yet I’ll give you the short version: animal products kill you. Like cancer and heart disease kill you. {To which the vegans say “duh”} While hubby vetoed the going meatless thing and I’m not ready to give up my ice cream, uh, I mean, dairy, you cannot watch a film like this and just do nothing. I already have been … Continue reading

Happy Sunday! It’s been busy busy around here with hubby working overtime at Coachella and Stagecoach {lucky!}. I’ve done so many blog-worthy things this week, some great {this recipe, homemade granola, spinach quinoa salad}, some fails {homemade baby wipes, homemade mustard} but I have had literally no time to put the ideas to keyboard. Oh and did I mention that Camden is scooting?! He’s crawling over my back right now and kindly letting me blog. And he has 4 teeth now and 2 more on the way. Like, overnight. With all of this busy-ness/craziness it is no wonder I slacked … Continue reading

I was going to blog about my many cake adventures over the last couple of birthday filled weeks but then I made something yummy for dinner and decided that the cake has waited this long, what’s one more post? So I made pulled pork sliders for dinner, nothing special, I make them all of the time. But I had a serious brain fart as to what I make to go with them. Seriously. I can’t remember. Maybe I don’t make anything and that’s why I can’t remember. But anyhow I am getting something of a reputation at hubby’s work as … Continue reading

In my Waldorf Chicken Salad post, I told you that I was making two things that night and I promised to post them. {Sorry, I totally lagged…} One of the things I made was my Moonshine Laundry Soap, which I am still totally enamored with, and the other was crock pot caramel. You probably have seen a version of this floating around on Pinterest. Crazy girl that I am, I decided to try it out. And since I can’t bear to eat my apples nekked, I knew it was something that would be put to good use in my house. … Continue reading

Well my more exciting future posts are brewing in the kitchen at the moment {hint: it smells like soap and caramel in my house} so this will have to do for now. It’s nothing revolutionary but it is darned der-licious. As you know, I rarely make anything without being inspired and this time I was inspired while watching Alton Brown make a Waldorf salad. I just remember dubiously watching him combine mayo and apples. Now I am convinced that mayo goes with just about anything….anything savory that is. Apples only go with caramel, peanut butter, cheese, or whipped cream and mini marshmallows. … Continue reading

This is the totally the kind of crap I make when we run out of M&M’s {store bought crap} and I’m too lazy to bake cookies {homemade crap}. The bottom line is I must have some kind of crap around the house when my sweet tooth acts up. I was really low on crap today and it was raining so I had to raid my baking supply cabinet and this is what I came up with. Don’t be deceived by the fancy sounding name, it’s stupid-easy to make. All you need is a banana, some chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and … Continue reading

Once again, here I am with a crazy concoction inspired by Pinterest, my pantry, and stuff I like. {Oh, and the big boy’s birthday party is coming up and I’m so not feeling a bowl full of Doritos}. My inspirations for this yummy appetizer: The pin: Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus. The Pantry item(s): cilantro {I can never seem to use it up before it goes bad so now I am trying the trick where you put it in a glass of water like flowers so it’s kind of in my face all of the time}, cannellini beans, and a … Continue reading

This is a Mom-2-3 original recipe y’all! Original in that I didn’t totally rip it off from some other site. I was however inspired by a recipe that has been floating around on Pinterest… …and a gallon of milk that needed to be used up since my family has been all sick and phlegmy. This was a meal plan meal that I changed up to accommodate my aversion to waste. So for those of you who may think you can’t meal plan or you maybe prefer the pantry method, meal planning is totally flexible! I was intending on making broccoli … Continue reading
