Owen has been asking me for weeks when it’s going to be summer again. And lately, we’ve been having 50 degree, spring-like weather (sorry for those of you still buried in snow). So we’ve all been running around with no coat, Owen’s wearing shorts and a t-shirt every day, and so excited summer is here….

Strawberry Banana Green Sunrise Smoothie
Life lately has consisted of lots of early mornings thanks to my 20 month old who won’t sleep in past six am! To think I used to wake up at five every morning to exercise boggles me. The thought actually makes me a little nauseous. And I looked forward to it? What happened to that…
Salmon Fajita Boats with Tomatillo Vinaigrette Dressing
One week from today Brett and I will be on our way to the sunny beaches of the Southern Caribbean. We’re going on our first cruise– our first vacation away for more than three days. We’ll be gone an entire week. As much as I love my kiddos, this momma needs a break vacation. I’m…
Minty Green Apple Green Smoothie
I told you we’ve been drinking tons of green smoothies lately. My little boys are even drinking them, even asking for them in the morning or at night for a treat. This isn’t normal for my picky eaters, most days it’s a battle to get them to eat their fruit and veggies. So any time…
Skinny Mini Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins
These cute little muffins are kind of amazing! You’ll never know they’re made with better-for-you-ingredients (that’s what I mean by skinny) They’re sweetened with honey, all-natural peanut butter, and almond milk. Almond milk by itself is too sweet for me to drink, but it’s perfect in these muffins because it adds a little more sweetness and…
Slow Cooker Green Chile Chicken & Quinoa Chili
The other day on facebook I asked you what kind of recipes you’d like to see on ST&M this year. I know I can’t please everyone, and I want to stay true to the recipes I like to make for my family (and recipes I actually eat), but I do want to make things you…
Mexican Quinoa Bowl with Crispy Sear-Roasted Salmon + Cilantro-Lime Dressing
Sometimes, we get in these food grooves, where we eat the same things over and over. There’s been little to no variety in my diet this week. Example- we’ve had salmon three out of the four nights this week for dinner. It’s been so long since we’ve bought it, that now we are burning through it….
Banana Protein Pancakes
Flavorful and packed with protein, these Banana Protein Pancakes are the perfect way to start your day! Hi there! And Happy New Year! My husband took a good chunk of time off from work over the holidays so I took a little break from the blog too. Plus, we’ve been traveling and family has been…
Blueberry Almond Chia Granola
Last weekend I attended the Inspire Retreat at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah hosted by my good friend Carrian of Sweet Basil. I just love that girl. She organized a weekend retreat for bloggers to come relax, collaborate, eat a lot of really good food, and inspire each other. I’ll have a full recap…
Skinny Pumpkin-Nog Smoothie {Plus a Smoothie Smart Blender Giveaway} #smoovember
Because smoothies aren’t just for summer! This Skinny Pumpkin-Nog Smoothie is the perfect light and refreshing smoothie for the holidays! Over the years I’ve grown to like egg nog. Before I met my husband I hand’t even tried it. It just sounded awful and I didn’t like the smell of it. Then I met Brett…
