Thought I’d share some of my favorite healthy snacks for littles. Most of these are NF but all are GF & DF! (If you’re local, go check out FH Liquidation Cookeville for all the best deals for these)

I get a lot of requests for crockpot meals or other easy dishes that don’t contain dairy. When I have to, I substitute for vegan butter and/or vegan heavy whipping cream.

Steam curls up from the valve and your stomach starts talking back. You spot that sealing ring snug and tight, ready to hold all that broth depth inside. It kinda feels like the whole kitchen's waitin' for somethin' good to come outta that float valve, signaling it's time. Sealing ring and float val...

Today’s smoothie was super easy to make and took no time at all! I love the private selection of frozen fruit blend.

Best egg roll in a bowl! I altered the recipe to make it healthier. I used liquid aminos instead of soy sauce, a couple “drizzles” of coconut aminos instead of sugar, used ground turkey instead of ground beef and added extra cabbage. Link to the recipe below!

Cannot take credit for either recipe but both were very easy to make and didn’t take a lot of time!
- The 1st photo is a recipe off Instagram. (Highly recommend following them).
- The second photo is how to make the 1st recipe.
- The 3rd photo is https://theschmidtywife.com/ground-turkey-sweet-potato-skillet/?utm_source=Pinterest&utm_medium=organic

Both of these recipes I made with ground turkey and swapped ingredients so they would be dairy free.

My babies loved these dishes!

My husband is an extremely picky person (my toddler has a broader appetite than him) so I have to get creative with what I make for dinner every night. He won’t eat leftovers and only if the food is ravin, will he eat seconds. If I want vegetables I have to make them separate, which I do because I’m not going to nutritionally deprive myself due to his pickiness. However tonight recipe consisted of lemon garlic chicken potatoes and (I replaced the broccoli with asparagus). It was AMAZING! The marinate was *chef kiss* My toddler and 9 month old ate everything! My husband wouldn’t try the asparagus but he loved the other things. So for those who are in a food rut and needs to try something new, go give this recipe a try! (I didn’t get to make the dip but it was not missed here!)
- for those who are hesitant about the mustard, no one in our house likes mustard.
10/10 in our house!

Lemon Garlic Chicken blushing can be grilled, cooked in a skillet or baked with potatoes and broccoli for a complete sheet pan meal!

Want an easy breakfast that’s packed with protein but also toddler approved and it’s a great prep meal, well I introduce you to the Dutch Baby! Each slice is roughly 18g of protein and only 340kcal! I topped mine with honey and lightly powered mine with date sugar but you can eat it with berries syrup or just by itself! Go try this easy recipe this week!

Im an exclusive pumper and this is my current supply. My supply dropped for a while to the point I wasn’t making enough to feed my baby and while im all for gaining more patients, I do not believe in keeping good information to myself. I increased my supply by drinking a 50/50 ratio of coconut water with pineapple juice 2 times a day and eating anywhere from 4-6 energy balls a day.
