Raise your hand if you’re going through food like CRAZY right now with kids at home and running around outside so much! Man, oh man. My three little men sure can eat! And as much as they would be happy to eat Goldfish crackers and popsicles all day, I occasionally like to expand their culinary horizons.
…These healthy apple oatmeal muffins are the perfect fall breakfast recipe or after-school snack. Grab your kiddos, and whip up a batch in the kitchen today (really, a double-batch because they freeze beautifully)!
Some people might call our current month September, but I call it…APPLE SEASON! The weather around here has been cooling off, and I’ve been waking up to crisp mornings that have very much put me in the mood for baking. At the top of my “to bake” recipe list were today’s delicious apple oatmeal muffins.

This simple fudge in a bag is a perfect opportunity to get kids in the kitchen. A handful of ingredients, a plastic baggie, and some good ol’ elbow grease will yield a tasty treat kids can make all by themselves!
Have you ever made fudge in a bag??? I had never heard of such a thing until a few weeks ago when my sister-in-law was visiting us from Texas and told my boys all about it. As soon as they heard the word “chocolate” they were sold on the idea….
This easy homemade applesauce is even tastier with the addition of super-sweet pears, and it’s totally fool-proof with the use of the ever-popular Instant Pot. It’s a perfect snack to make with your kids this fall.
It’s fall! I’m not quite sure when we made the transition from summer to fall because I was lost in the haze of postpartum recovery and sleep-deprivation. I feel like I walked into the hospital in the heat of summer, and emerged from my house a month later in a totally different season….

Thanksgiving is over, and the Christmas carols are on. It’s officially Christmas around here!
Okay, it actually doesn’t really feel like Christmas to me right now because I’m writing this from a condo in Hawaii listening to the waves lapping against the shore (I know, I’m super spoiled). Still, I know that when I go home to snowy Utah in 3 days, I’m going to get into full celebrate-the-season mode.
I have one main goal for Christmas this year: KEEP IT SIMPLE.
…These easy berry smoothies are a great way to add some extra-healthy food into your diet (and your veggie-averse kiddos). It’s a breakfast and snack food you’ll all enjoy, and they’ll never know there’s a full cup of spinach in it!
Truth: I have a borderline obsession with strawberries.
I blame it on growing up in the middle of strawberry fields that reached as far as I could see. In fact, my mom still reminds me of how as a toddler, when I saw her buying flats of strawberries from roadside stands, I would SCREAM until she would give me one. Forget washing them…forget taking the stem off…I wanted that sweetness in my mouth before they lost the warmth of the sunshine that ripened them….
