This is my new favorite summer cocktail and I just had to share! It is so easy to make, you just need some good lemonade, fresh raspberries and vodka. I like Tito’s Gluten-Free vodka. In one glass, smush 4 raspberries at the bottom of a glass. The proper term for that is muddle, lol. Then fill the cup with your preferred amount of ice. As an added FYI, I try…

It is the most important skill a woman needs to learn if she wants to have enough time for all her passions and get a healthy dinner on the table every night. Bulk cooking and freezer meal prep saves me so much time in the kitchen. Each of…
It’s blueberry season! One of my favorite times of year. We go blueberry picking every summer and then I also buy pounds and pounds of bluberries to put up for the rest of the year. I thought I would round up all my blueberry recipe posts into one place to make it easier to find for y’all. In no particular order, my blueberry season recipe posts: Blueberry Pie Berry Jam…

In the past, while working at home I could just go into the kitchen and grab whatever I wanted.

The kids get lots of free play inside and out, lots of creative projects to strengthen the right side of the brain, and learn how to get along with others. There are special areas they rotate through several times a morning, including cooking, music, movement, art, and science. The school is great at tying the special activities…
Carrie Vitt, of Deliciously Organic, just came out with a new cookbook and it is fabulous! I met Carrie online earlier this year, she lives in North Florida just like me! She is a super kind and loving mama and an amazing chef. She get’s it honest, her mama is a long time caterer! Carrie’s first cookbook was full of grains, but upon being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s…
I made this recipe from my cookbook From Your Garden To Your Family a few weeks ago for my family and I thought I would share because it’s one of our favorites and just so dang easy to prepare. I am so excited to be back home in North Florida, I’m looking forward to getting back to gardening. I tried my hardest in South Florida, but man, between the torrential…

They have also all been recipes individual portions with a combo of protein and veggies mixed in to make them fantastic, healthy grab-and-go meal options.

These freezer friendly mini meatloaves are super tasty and make for an easy meal on the go. It’s so easy to grab a mini meatloaf on the way out the door when I am working outside the home and need to pack a healthy lunch or dinner for myself. And they are packed with veggies, so when I eat two for lunch, all my nutritional categories and needs are being…
