This time of year when pears are at their best, I try to use them in meals multiple times a week. Pears are not only scrumptious, but they are incredibly nutritious. This recipe I made for my 17-month-old, but they are so yummy that I eat about half of the […]
I need multiple pick me ups throughout my day (life as a tired mom), and instead of grabbing a candy bar, I grab these instead! These energy cookies are sweet, chewy, full of texture and full of healthy ingredients. These cookies are perfect for toddlers, as they provide energy, great […]

I make this recipe at least once a week because my toddler will have a second and sometimes third helping of it every time I serve it to her. And I am okay with that because this dish is full of good protein, fiber and iron, so I feel good […]
Roasting veggies on a sheet pan is probably my favorite way to cook them in the fall. The ingredients in this veggie roast will fill your home with a scent reminiscent of a crisp fall day. It puts me in the mood for Halloween, fires in the fireplace, and decorating […]
