Back to school is almost here for my kiddos! I've been working on a list of snacks to make for them since I know they'll both need something during the day and then something after school. The camp they go to provides breakfast and two snacks daily, so I've gotten off pretty easy this summer.… Continue reading Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow

Mongolian Beef Stir-Fry
I'm always looking for quick dinners and this one fits! I love stir-fry - there's something about meat and veggies in a delicious sauce served over rice or quinoa......except when your kids complain about it. When I made this, my kids were off - I'm blaming the full moon! My son told me he doesn't… Continue reading Mongolian Beef Stir-Fry
Fresh Peach Cobbler
Peaches are in season and they have been so good this summer! I've been buying them weekly and incorporating them into everything. My husband has been asking me to make peach cobbler and after a failed attempt at a vegan version (I'm not sure what went wrong), I decided to go ahead and make a… Continue reading Fresh Peach Cobbler
Honey Almond Granola
I love granola and have been wanting to make a batch. I found this quick and easy recipe for honey almond granola. With only a few ingredients, it's the perfect introduction to try making homemade granola. I've been enjoying it as "cereal" in the morning with sliced bananas. I also like to top yogurt with… Continue reading Honey Almond Granola
Caprese Stuffed Portobello
I'm trying to get back on the meatless Monday bandwagon and eliminate some of the meat we've been eating recently. My husband had a battle with gout not too long ago and while we think we know what his triggers are, I'm hoping to help keep it away by slightly changing our diet. This recipe… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Portobello
Caramelized Leek and Bacon Pizza
I received two leeks in my last CSA and I was looking for a fun and creative way to use them. I haven't used leeks very often, but after making this pizza, I'm going to use them more! Leeks have a mild onion flavor and are sweeter than onions. This pizza was amazing! The caramelized… Continue reading Caramelized Leek and Bacon Pizza

Veggie Fritters
Happy Sunday! I hope you're having a great weekend. We've had a low-key weekend and is exactly what is needed before a crazy, busy week. Last week, I picked up a CSA share from a local, organic farm and received a bunch of carrots, zucchini and kohlrabi. I never had kohlrabi before but knew it… Continue reading Veggie Fritters
Ricotta Parmesan Garlic Bread
Sometimes you need to indulge a little and this bread is exactly that! This was a HUGE hit with my family - even my picky kids. I guess if you spread cheese - even cheese they don't like - over bread, they'll love it. It makes for a great appetizer or compliments an Italian dinner.… Continue reading Ricotta Parmesan Garlic Bread
Brownie Energy Bites
How is it already July 6th? It's crazy that my daughter has been on summer break for a month and back to school items are popping up in stores. I know she's not ready to start 5th grade and I'm definitely not ready since my little guy is starting kindergarten. How is my baby oldest… Continue reading Brownie Energy Bites
