As someone who avoids lots of things, I’m always on the lookout for the mythical unicorn of protein bars that are dairy free, coconut free, and no stevia.

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…

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,…

Green Tea Lemonade is the quintessential summer drink. It’s pleasantly sweet, seriously refreshing, and has a kick of caffeine to get you through the day! Hello warmer weather and hello green tea lemonade, my new favorite drink. It’s pleasantly sweet, seriously refreshing, and has a fun little kick of caffeine to boot. I can see myself drinking this — and every variation I can think of — all summer long. Last weekend we drove to Cincinnati to visit family and celebrate my oldest nephew graduating from high school. Of course, finding places to stop along the way is generally difficult…

Looking for a delicious meat-based chili? This bison chili is packed with flavor and some subtle heat for a truly tasty dinner. Eat it as is or pair it with spaghetti noodles and you’ll have dinner everyone will be raving about. Except for maybe your kids, because let’s be honest. Their palettes aren’t exactly … varied. So maybe just make them the spaghetti noodles and savor the chili for yourself. I know, I know. A meat-based chili recipe after I just got done professing my love for bean-based chilis. But hear me out. This bison chili is really delicious. And,…

Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or snacks, these small batch dairy free muffins made from dried mangos are packed with flavor. They are also the perfect way to use up that dried fruit 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 again,…

Do you know how easy it is to make homemade protein bars? With less than 5 minutes of effort, you can make (and customize) your very own high-protein treat. 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 that work, but can’t always find them in the store. WHOMP, WHOMP. So…
