Healthier Air Fryer Donuts
You had me at “10 Minute Breakfast”! My kiddos will sleep in, lounge on the couch for an hour, and then IMMEDIATELY decide they are STARVING and need to eat RIGHT NOW!!! Quick, healthy breakfasts are totally our jam. However, they default to toaster waffles and would prefer pop-tarts or donuts where I’m more of a “made from scratch” sort of mom. Don’t get me wrong, we indulge every now and then, but if I can whip up a “healthier” version of a lot of things, I will. Donuts are one of our favs in this house too. The greasy, gooey, chocolatey smothered, deep-fried, treats don’t last too long here.…

Holiday Survival Group + 12 Days of Giveaways!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I LOVE everything about the holidays! Yes, the cookies, the cocktails, the shopping, the gift giving, the music, the Hallmark movies… all reasons why I LOVE this time of year. But my FAVORITE part of the holiday season is the magical feeling that surrounds this time of year. And yes, we put our tree up yesterday in case you were wondering! But don’t worry, I’m not going to bust out carols on you yet. Although, I will say, it does feel a bit more joyous and almost magical during the holidays, am I right?

Carrot Cake Protein Muffins
When breakfast tastes like dessert… I call that a win. These are quite possibly my favorite grab-and-go muffins that taste heavenly, require a minimum of ingredients, and give you a filling serving of protein, veggies, carbs, and an optional add in of healthy fats too. I am a sucker for carrot cake. When carrot cake is healthier? Even better. When I can have carrot cake for breakfast? I’m in love. As a mother, muffins that pack a protein punch with the addition of my favorite- Vegan Vanilla Shakeology (a powerhouse plant based superfood shake mix that we use as a go-to for baking and to blend into daily milkshakes) mean…

Perfect Instant Pot Beef Stew
Owning and cooking with an Instant Pot is a lot like starting a fitness journey…. You purchase the equipment you need. More often than not you let it sit in the box, in the back of the closet/pantry, staring at you, judging you, silently asking, “When are you going to do this, girl?!” Then one day you decide it’s time. So you drag it out, spend more time perusing the internet than you should figuring out “how” to start, and just decide to tear the bandaid off. You throw some things together, you break a sweat in the process, you take caution to avoid injury, and when it’s all said…

Summer Sweet Corn Chowder
Harvest is near. Driving home every day we’re surrounded by cornfields and bean fields. I can see them starting to change. Corn stalks turning brown. Bean leaves yellowing after a summer of repeated rain and midwestern sun beating down. And my heart leaps a little bit because it means my favorite season is approaching. One of my favorite things about fall is food. Okay, I lied. I like food in every season. But I LOVE fall food. Crockpots. Instapots. Chili simmering on the stove. Football season food. The smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. I’m drooling just typing this. With summer is drawing to a close,…
