I love to eat my eggs over easy. I made these simple eggs this morning with some leftover bacon and mushrooms I had on hand. First, I melted some butter from Grass Fed Cows (Kerrygold) and sautéed diced onion, mushroom and the leftover bacon. Next, I cracked two eggs on top and added some ground pepper. After the eggs […]
My son has an obsession with soft tacos. He LOVES them. I use ground beef and add spices (Cumin, Coriander, Paprika, Oregano, S&P) add shredded cheese and wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla. When I make tacos I’m sure to set one aside for his lunch the next day. Quick and easy and something the kid will actually […]
This is an easy lunch to throw together using what I had on hand today. The whole wheat pumpkin bread is something my kids LOVE so it’s a special treat for a lunch… and healthier than a cookie. Here’s What I packed: Ham and Provolone Rolled in a Whole Wheat Tortilla Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread Rasberries and Blueberries Celery Banana […]
Both my kids elementary school and preschool require snacks to be nut free. I’m always looking for ideas of things I can send to change their snacks up. My son would want Cheese It’s and Jalapeno Chips everyday if he could (Gah!) so I have to stay on my toes and offer fun alternatives… Mini Bags of popped popcorn have […]
This is a fun way for the kids to make their own sandwiches. The meat and cheese are from a little snack pack they sell at our local Trader Joe’s with Salami and Provolone. Here’s What I packed: Trader Joe’s Woven Crackers (basically Triscuits) Trader Joe’s Salami and Provolone Snack Pack Strawberries & Blueberries Organic Shredded Carrots & Organic […]

Recently a friend of mine suggested using silicone cupcake molds instead and I thought it was brilliant. These little silicone cupcake molds hold 1/4 cup […]
These were my impulse purchase from Costco yesterday. Man, they are addictive. They are so crunchy it’s nuts! Sweet and delicious too. Great to add to oatmeal or trailmix. Good school snack that will get eaten up!Here’s a link to get them on Amazon if you don’t go to Costco.
Last night we picked up dinner from a local, healthy DRIVE THROUGH place called Fresa’s Chicken. They feature locally grown pasture raised chicken in the “El Pollo Loco” flame grilled fashion with a yummy and very spicy hot jalapeno green sauce on the side. Their corn tortillas are made in house and are very delicious. I could eat an order of […]
Today I packed 100% whole wheat pumpkin bread and leftover smoothie from breakfast. My kids LOVE Pumpkin bread. I found a great recipe in my 100 Days of Real Food Cookbook. Here’s what I used to pack: The canister is from my Planetbox lunch box.
I have about a million cookie cutters. It’s a collection yo! When I make a sandwich I like to break out a shape that will entice the kiddo to actually eat the sandwich. My girls preschool classes are nut free so this is a Sunbutter and honey butterfly sandwich. Here’s what I packed today: 100% whole wheat bread with Sunbutter […]
