Donuts, waffles, cinnamon rolls, pastries- you name it. They are undoubtedly tasty, but don’t really provide any nutritional value. Total bummer. That said, I went on a quest to find a better alternative where I can still indulge without giving up my beloved baked goodness, and I found a Read More
#RemixYourCoffee with New Folgers Flavors & a Giveaway!
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Folgers. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. These days, waking up ready to tackle the day doesn’t happen easily. Growing up, a bowl of my beloved Golden Grahams or the smell of pancakes and syrup helped me take on the day, but as an adult (and mama), I definitely need something stronger. For me- that’s coffee. I wake up around 6 am Read More
Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Granola
I recently whipped up a batch of pumpkin spice chocolate granola. Sweet, spiced with fall flavors and super delicious! Perfect mixed in with yogurt for breakfast, or on its own for a snack. YUM! I picked up the chalkboard top jars from Target in their dollar section and gave these as gifts to neighbors, friends and family. The recipe fills 3 small jars and 2 regular mason jars, FYI. Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Granola (recipe adapted from Iowa Girl Eats) makes 4-1/2 Read More

Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Smoothie Recipe + Protein Powder Recipe Roundup
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #PowerInProtein #CollectiveBias Taking care of a 14 week old baby while training for a half marathon takes a LOT of energy. Needless to say, I am hungry all.the.time. Between exclusively pumping six times a day for Bryce and getting in my workouts, I need nutritious options that keep me fueled. Often times, I don’t have the luxury of preparing something that takes forever to make OR Read More
Pioneer Woman Must Have Kitchen Essentials
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE watching The Pioneer Woman. Especially on Saturday mornings when the new episodes air with a hot cup of coffee. Pure bliss! I’ve tried a number of her recipes (like these, among many others) and haven’t come across one that wasn’t downright delectable. (Part of me wants to take the “Julie & Julia” concept and make it my mission to make every single one of Ree Drummond’s recipes and blog about it….never say never! It’d be a fun challenge!) After Read More

I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own. This past weekend, Bryce was baptized. It was a truly wonderful day! After church, we invited our family over for a big celebration. We had quite the large crowd, and were busy cleaning and prepping food in the days leading up to the party Read More
Frozen Old Fashioned Oatmeal Recipe
Fellow Chicago blogger and momma-to-be Katie posted a link to a recipe lately about how to make frozen oatmeal, and I knew I had to try because 1- oatmeal (particularly old fashioned oats) are excellent for breastfeeding mamas and 2- I don't have time to make myself breakfast most days with Bryce (let along 40 minutes for oats), so something that is quick & easy is key. So I tried out the recipe and tweaked it a little bit to add a bit more protein and flavor. The result? Awesome-ness. Read More
