• Lemon Blueberry Muffins

    January 31, 2024

    With the perfect combination of tart and sweet, these Lemon Blueberry Muffins are the perfect thing to make when you’re craving something sweet but not too sweet. If you ask my kids what their favorite thing to make in the kitchen together, the answer would hands down be muffins. And if you asked them what their favorite muffins to make are, they would shout very confidently, LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS. The Big Kid is absolutely obsessed with all things lemon. (Lemon chicken, lemon crinkle cookies, lemon blueberry scones, green tea lemonade…) The Little Kid pretty much loves whatever her sister loves…

  • Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Protein Bites

    January 24, 2024

    These easy homemade chocolate covered peanut butter protein bites are made with 5 simple ingredients and taste absolutely decadent. // I’ve been on the hunt for easy (and somewhat healthy) snacks as of late, needing quick little pick-me-up’s to get me through the day. Most days, I’ll reach for cut veggies like bell peppers or pop in a few cherry tomatoes whenever I walk by the bowl on my counter. But some days, a girl just wants some chocolate and peanut butter yumminess. I’ve also had a can of collagen peptides sitting in my pantry waiting to be used up,…

  • Dried Mango Muffins (Dairy-Free)

    April 19, 2023

    Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or snacks, these small batch dairy-free dried mango muffins are packed with flavor. They are also the perfect way to use up that dried mango (or any fruit, really) that’s been sitting in your pantry for way too long. A few months ago, I picked up a bag of dried mango from our local BJ’s because it’s seriously the best. Like, better than any other brand I’ve tried. The first time I had gotten a bag, it was gone in two days flat. I was telling The Little about how excited I was to have some…

  • Homemade Protein Bars

    March 23, 2023

    These homemade protein bars are as easy as they are delicious. They are super easy to make (and customize) and feel like a decadent treat. They also happen to be dairy-free, gluten free, soy free, coconut free, and contain ZERO stevia. Huzzah! I am always on the hunt for good protein bars when I need a quick something to eat while I am running the girls back and forth between literally everything. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding any I can enjoy because I am sensitive to dairy, coconut, AND stevia. I did manage to find a few brands…

  • Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

    December 6, 2019

    I’ve had a love hate relationship with chia pudding for years. I’ve wanted to love it but end up just hating it because of how runny and slimy it is. I would see recipes online for the thickest and most delicious looking chia pudding and wonder why mine never looked (or tasted) as good. I went so far as to buy an electric grinder thinking it was a texture thing. When that didn’t work, I gave up and just added a tablespoon of chia seeds to smoothies or breads here and there. That is, until a month ago when my…

  • Chocolate Chip Chickpea Bites

    July 1, 2019

    High in protein and high in flavor, these toddler- and kid-friendly chocolate chip chickpea bites are a snack the whole family will love. With Anna in camp this summer, I’ve been trying to find healthy snacks to pack for her each day. Last week, she chose blueberry mini muffins (which she continues to ask about) and finished the batch in 4 days. We moved onto blender muffins (I even made a double batch!) and everyone devoured them in 3 days flat, so they didn’t even make it to the week’s end.
