  • REVIEW: April Favorites

    Hello, sweet friends!!  Happy May! This might be my shortest ‘Favorites’ post yet as April was somewhat of an off month here. But I still have some good things to share with you! Before we dive into my favorite products, I have to share one of our favorite “news” stories. We don’t actually watch the…

  • Blender Vanilla Cake with Coconut-Raspberry Frosting

      I have never worked so hard on a recipe before and quite frankly, I hope I don’t have to for a while! Lots of frustration and tears shed, but I was SO determined to create the cake that Willow requested for her birthday. There came a point when I was close to throwing in…

  • REVIEW: March Favorites

    Happy April, my friends!! I hope everyone is having a lovely Spring so far. We’re counting down the days to Willow’s 4th birthday and I’m wondering where in the world the time has gone?! Speaking of Willow, she’s become obsessed with taking photos and managed to fill an entire memory card! I’m making my way…

  • RECIPE: Chocolate Muffins

    Funny story about these muffins – I created this recipe months ago, but when I went to type up the blog post, my notes got all jumbled together and I couldn’t figure out which trial was the one. I stared at four separate pieces of paper with jotted measurements and couldn’t figure it out! I was…

  • REVIEW: February Favorites

This was such a fun month for new products, books and of course delicious new recipes! So let’s dive…

  • RECIPE: Raw Ranch Kale Chips

    I’m not exaggerating when I say that we go through 5-6 bunches of organic kale a week. My body literally craves it! Our favorite ways to enjoy kale: lightly sauteed, thrown in a smoothie, salads and kale chips! The possibilities are endless when it comes to chip flavors and since we’ve been on a big…

  • RECIPE: Red Velvet Mini Donuts

      I love when recipes get created spontaneously and unexpectedly. Willow has been on a HUGE pink kick…I’m talking smoothies, clothes, and coloring everything pink. My favorite is when she drew a picture of our family and gave Josh pink hair. Last week she asked for pink donuts and at first I thought, “how in…

  • REVIEW: January Favorites

    We had a few highlights during January – a good bit of snow early in the month, took Willow to use her snowshoes for the first time AND we got our fireplace running! Which meant we were finally able to keep our house heated above 60°! Not even kidding, our house was freezing – I’m…

  • RECIPE: Nutty Cookie Bars

    If you open our refrigerator, you’re bound to find jars filled with just about every variety of nut (and seed). Not only are they packed with protein, but they also make excellent milks, cheeses, desserts and much more. I was experimenting with a new cookie recipe and was feeling a bit lazy…rather than taking the…
