    Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry – Whole 30 Approved

    Me on Whole 30:  What else can I cook that’s going to be amazing! THIS!

    Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup (Crockpot)

    Three year old with a high fever and a tummy ache.  Not good.  Naps.  Snuggles.  Blankies.  Movies.  Repeat.   It’s time for my cure-all.  Fool-proof, tummy soothing, chicken soup.  When I can throw it all in the crock pot that’s even better because that means I get more snuggle time with her.  And that’s key.  Whether it’s an upset tummy, the need for a new clean eating recipe, a kid-friendly meal, or an easy crock pot fix, this one has family meal written all over it and is a big favorite in our house, not just on sick days.
