Bryce, like most toddlers, doesn't willingly reach for vegetables these days. So I have to get a little creative in how I serve them up. Besides his go-to smoothie (which lately consists of a handful of spinach, frozen mixed fruit, a scoop of yogurt and chia seeds), I've found that serving vegetables mashed is the way to go. Something about the consistency perhaps? Whatever it is, as long as he's eating veggies, I'm happy! Plus, it's easy to make a bunch of it at once and create a nice stash in Read More

The Hungry Girl Diet- Week 2 Recap
So after a very successful week 1 on the Hungry Girl Diet, I was looking forward to week 2. Weeks 2-4 on the Hungry Girl diet plan allow for much more variety for each meal. For example, week 1 would have three recipe options for breakfast (oatmeal, eggs, Greek yogurt), but now the the variety has expanded with two more options for each meal and you can switch up lunch and dinner options any day of the week. I didn’t really get tired of the meals in week 1, but was excited to try some new Read More
