Bennett has been asking for fruit roll-ups a lot lately. I guess they must be a popular treat at school right now, and I think they’re fine as a treat, but not something I want to feed my kids every day. I remembered I used to make homemade fruit roll-ups when the kids were younger,…

Berry Whipped Cream Cheese
How can summer be over already? I can hardly believe how fast it went! The kids have said goodbye to late nights, lazy mornings, and long days with nothing to do but play and whine about being bored. Last week, we greeted the return of early bedtimes, morning alarms, back-packs full of school supplies, and of course, packed lunches. Ah, the…
Smoothie Fun with Epicure {GIVEAWAY}
Spring is in the air, and as the weather gets warmer, I start to crave smoothies. A cold smoothie bowl is so refreshing for breakfast on a sunny morning. If we’re on the go with no time to sit down for breakfast, we can sip on smoothies on our way out the door so we can still start…
Cranberry Gingerbread Granola
I usually make some kind of Christmas treats to give out to family and friends at Christmas. Last year, it was homemade marshmallows. Other years, I’ve done spice mixes, baking mixes, and other goodies you can find in my Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas post. This year, I felt like making something healthy but still really…
Stevia-Sweetened Pomegranate Lime Spritzer
It can be hard to find a decent sugar-free, non-alcoholic beverage to sip on over the holidays. I learned this the hard way three years ago, when I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my daughter. (For more on that story, visit the blog I wrote: The GD Diaries) I had GD with both my sons as well,…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Smoothie Bowl
This week has been all about grab-and-go breakfast ideas as many of us prepare to send the kids back to school and mornings become rushed again. Even if you don’t have kids and you just need to get yourself fed and out the door quickly, these ideas are sure to help you. Today on the…
Egg in a Jar
Here’s the fourth post in my daily grab-and-go breakfast series this week: Egg in a Jar! My kids go crazy for eggs. They would gladly eat eggs for breakfast every morning, but it’s time-consuming to cook up an egg, standing over the stovetop to make sure it doesn’t burn, while I’m trying to get everyone ready for school. Then I…
Blueberry Almond Flour Mug Muffin
If you haven’t noticed already, throughout this week, I’m sharing grab-and-go breakfast ideas to get you through those busy school mornings. Yesterday’s recipe for Yogurt Parfait Popsicles was perfect for coaxing reluctant kids to eat a quick breakfast, but sometimes I find I get the kids fed and forget to feed myself! This mug muffin is one of my…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Freezer Bars
I like having a stash of chocolate treats that I keep all to myself, in case of emergency chocolate cravings. These little chocolate peanut butter coconut treats are stashed in my freezer, and I’m pretty sure nobody knows they’re in there but me. I’d like to keep it that way, because they’re way too good to share. …
Vegan Sugar-Free Truffles {NuNaturals Giveaway}
Everyone deserves a treat around the holidays, even those of us who can’t indulge the way we want to. I know what that’s like, because a couple Christmases ago, I had gestational diabetes, so I had to stay away from sugar and anything else that was high in carbs. That’s tough to do at any…
