I’ve fallen in love…. with a saturated fat. That’s right, this week our one new food was fat. But not just any fat. Coconut oil. One New Food: Coconut Oil I’ve heard a lot about coconut oil and it’s many health benefits, but never tried it. Then on Saturday, I ran into WalMart for a […]
One New Food: Parsnip Recipes
Did you ever read Bunnicula when you were a kid? It’s about this vampire bunny who, instead of drinking blood, sucks the color out of vegetables. When I look at parsnips, that’s what comes to mind. They’re like albino carrots. One New Food: Parsnip Recipes Last week we were successful in our attempts to feed […]
One New Food: Turnip
I’ll be honest, sometimes trying to figure out a new food for the kids to eat each week gets tiring. Some weeks I feel like I haven’t put enough effort into it; other weeks I feel like I’ve put too much effort into it considering the return if they don’t end up liking it (remember […]

Miss Humblebee’s Academy Review
Disclaimer: I received a free one month trial of Miss Humblebee’s Academy in order to write this review. All opinions are my own. I’ve written before about my struggle to find balance with the boys’ screen time. So when we were given the opportunity to try out an online preschool program, I was at once […]
#ONENEWFOOD: Ultragrain with Quinoa Penne
My kids love pasta with meat sauce. It’s one of the few meals I make that I know they will eat, even if they’ve had a snack five minutes before dinner (which I never, ever allow because that would be foolish…. insert guilty cough). So when Hodgson Mill sent me an awesome care package after […]
#ONENEWFOOD: Quick Vanilla Ice Cream
Before I get into our #ONENEWFOOD of the week, I have to tell you this: The other night Annelise, my pickiest eater, willingly tried broccoli, rice, and chicken. That was HUGE for her. I absolutely attribute it to #ONENEWFOOD. Insisting that the kids try new things on a regular, consistant basis is paying off. Please […]
