Roasted chickpeas make a great, real food snack, salad addition, or side dish. You can make them about a million different ways so they never get old, and if you choose to dehydrate them after you roast them, they’ll keep well in your fridge or pantry. Here are...

Eat cake for your snack without derailing your goals! These protein cake bites are so delicious. I am such a sucker for chocolate, so I love finding ways I can indulge without feeling crappy afterward. Sugar does very bad things to my brain and my digestion, so these...

I added my personal tweak to this amazing Zucchini soup recipe several months ago and it has since become a favorite of mine. I love that I can throw it together in about 15 minutes and it’s ready to eat. I also love that the kids will eat it (even if they...

No doubt this is the #1 favorite meal for most kids nowadays. Too bad it’s one of the most processed, chemical-filled junk foods we could be giving our kids. I was once excited to see an organic brand of mac and cheese, but a quick flip-over of the box had me...

Before I give you this pear salad recipe, let me just say one little bit about salads in general. They’ve become much more popular the last several years because of the trend in sweetening things up with fruit, candied nuts, and super sugary dressing. But this...

Okay, so first off, I apologize that my chocolate ice cream recipe is not well-represented in this cell phone picture (my friend Kylie thought it was a picture of pork chops). I debated on whether to even use the pic, but then I remembered that when you’re...

This is one of the very easiest no cook recipes for kids ever. I love it for so many reasons… It’s great for picky eaters, because you can customize it for your little one. Kids think they’re so much fun to eat. They take all of 30 seconds to throw...
