We’ve been LOVING the convenience of meals-in-a-jar lately. Not only are they awesome for healthier “fast food”, but they are also a great alternative to just-add-water meals that are convenient in emergency situations. We are always looking for great jar recipes but today we wanted to share with you how you can take one of […]

I love cheesecake. Love it a lot. Problem is, it’s not a very guilt-free snack. My good friend Sierra is the Q-U-E-E-N of making treats healthier. I think she should start her own blog with all her recipes because then I wouldn’t have to ask her for them all the time. She was auctioning a […]

My husband and I have been doing the “Insanity” workout program lately and it is definitely INSANE. It’s been fun to do something together to try to get healthier and a little more physically fit. We decided to follow their recommended nutrition plan and I’ve been able to use a lot of Thrive Life Foods […]

When cooked, quinoa can become a delicious hot cereal, pasta, or side dish. Many people may have heard of […]

Today I’m sharing a new family favorite recipe. This recipe used one of June’s sale items so make sure you check it out. I’m getting hungry just posting this recipe. A few months ago we helped some friends of ours move. They promised German Pancakes to whoever came over. I live with 4 boys… you […]

With summer in the air (finally) I thought it would be fun to share something I’ve been doing with my kids as the weather has gotten warmer. My little 7 year old loves to cook with me, loves to use my blender, and loves to eat. For a few weeks he kept asking me to […]
