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…
Main Dishes
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…
Sausage & Potato Skewers with Spicy Avocado-Sriracha Sauce + Giveaway
Today we’re having a potato party with Alexia Foods! Several of my friends and I have created dishes around Alexia’s new Smart Classics- Oven Roasted Potatoes and French Fries. A healthier potato option! They have Crinkle Cut Fries , Straight Cut Fries and Roasted Tri-Cut Potatoes, all with sea salt. If you dig potatoes and…
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…
Green Chile and Cheese Mini Crescent Dogs
Mini Crescent Dogs rolled up with green chiles and Velveeta cheese– the perfect appetizer for parties! I hate to admit it, but I’m a sucker for crescent wrapped mini dogs at all of the parties this time of year. They pop up everywhere from now until the super bowl. I don’t want to like them,…
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…
Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Braid
I always feel silly saying it, because I only have two kids, but life is busy with two kids! I don’t think the number of kids matters….kids, even just one, are just busy. And keep you /us/me busy. Throw in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and busy has a whole new meaning. Aside from…
