Pumpkin Spice Waffles
With three kids with different preferences, I have learned that if I give into everyone’s requests I’d be a short order cook with an even shorter temper! So when one kid asks for waffles, and one kid asks for muffins, I make one big batch and put some in muffin tins and some in the waffle maker. Then everyone’s happy! This is the same recipe for my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip mini muffins but the only exception is I left out the chocolate chips. They could go either way. Or add nuts. Or sub pumpkin for banana. Or applesauce. Whatever your little one’s hearts desire! Pumpkin Spice Waffles: Ingredients: 1…

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
I can’t get enough “holiday smell” in my house. It’s an addiction. I put away my pumpkin spice candle yesterday and busted out holiday spice and that cinnamon smell took over my house last night. It was heavenly. We decorated the tree. We hung our stockings. We listened to Christmas music and all was complete. Until I woke up this morning and missed that pumpkin smell. So I fixed it. Well, I fixed muffins. And waffles. With pumpkin and spices and warmth and honey and deliciousness. And they tasted amazing and are guilt free too! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins: Ingredients: 1 1/3 c brown rice flour 1/2 cup quick cook…

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (clean)
Because once September hits, the pumpkin spice is flowing like the Budweiser beers during Cardinals playoffs (another reason why I love this time of year!). So contrary to my husband who wanted to stick to the artificial stuff, I wanted to recreate that PSL flavor without the added sugar, artificial flavors, or food dyes. Ingredients: 1 c vanilla unsweetened almond milk 1 tbsp pumpkin purée 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1 tbsp pure maple syrup Directions Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over low-medium heat whisking lightly until purée has dissolved and milk begins to steam. Remove from heat and pour into a mason jar or…

Easy Egg Muffin Cups
Breakfast is a disaster at our house. One kid off to first grade. One momma off to nursing school. One daddy off to work, and sometimes two little kids off to daycare when Grandma’s not here. I don’t have time to make 5 different breakfasts. I don’t have time to make my own breakfast some days but it’s the most important meal of the day so I don’t allow myself to skip it. This is where meal planning comes into play. Because we try to eat clean, natural foods and avoid artificial ingredients at every opportunity, a fresh, healthy breakfast is important to us. So a little time this morning…

Red, White, and Blueberry Muffins
By the time 4th of July rolls around, we’re ready for some yummy treats. Summer produce is in abundance and we always have too many strawberries and blueberries in our fridge.
