Brownies. The struggle is real. But once in a while, a cheat day is a must. After all, it’s better to share a whole jar of Nutella rather than have it on your own right? The bonus to this recipe is it’s just 3 ingredients. Yes.. just 3. Ingredients: 1 1/4 c. (13 oz) jar…

Flourless Pancakes
I’m all about trying to find healthier meal options especially for breakfast. Often times my go-to breakfast dishes have so much carbohydrates. While this does have some carbs, it’s healthier. I’ve made these before, 38 weeks ago to be exact. I can’t believe I forgot about it! You only need 3 minimum ingredients. If you’re not…
Strawberry Cheese Rollups
This is my old recipe, that just never gets old. These strawberry cheese rollups are perfect for little fingers and are incredibly tasty. It’s easy to grasp for young children and frankly, I can eat way too many of these for my own good. Fortunately, my boys didn’t leave too many behind. I don’t know any…
Creamy Broccoli Salad
Summer time is upon us and I love a refreshing salad. It’s also a great way to give your child vegetables in its natural state. We don’t put too much dressing on our salads, so it’s not entirely visible on the photo but it’s definitely delish. P.S. Just like his father, my toddler picked out…
Butternut Squash Beet Fries
I love beets, but don’t like beet red fingers. I recently discovered the golden beet. It tastes great and doesn’t stain everything in sight. I also coupled it with some butternut squash to make a fry medley. It’s a great alternative to your everyday french fry. Ingredients: 1 medium size butternut squash 1 golden beet…

Ingredients: 1 cup medium strawberries, hulled and chopped 2 cups of milk of choice 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract 2 tbs agave nectar or honey Procedure: Blend strawberries, milk, vanilla, and…
Zucchini Patties
My son will eat anything in patty form, especially veggie packed patties! These are healthy and low calorie. That means I can eat them too, without too much guilt. These are tasty and easy to make and it’s packed with a lot of nutrients. Ingredients: 1 c. yellow zucchini (one small zucchini), grated 1 c. green zucchini (one small…
Flax Seeds Grape Fruit Rollups
Growing up, I loved fruit rollups. I wanted to recreate it for my son without the added additives. I also jazzed it up by adding the super food flax seed on them. I don’t have a dehydrator so I used my oven. I used the same technique as veggie chips. Low heat for a long period of…
Egg Star Sandwiches
Happy Fourth of July! Yes, this is festive and cute, but I made it for another reason as well. My son stopped eating eggs for the last week or so. Perhaps he’s just bored. I mean he’s just like us, if you eat too much of one thing it gets old. When this happens, I…
