Healthy Eating Habits

70+ Spaghetti Squash Recipes

April 10, 2015 By Lauren

Over 70 Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Lately I’ve seen a lot of people using vegetables in place of pasta. Since my kids are big pasta eaters and we want to make healthier choices whenever we can, I was intrigued, but dubious. It sounded like a good idea, but I wasn’t sure I could get away with it, even if it was […]

I Told My Two Year Old Her Butt was Big

March 9, 2015 By Lauren

Her Butt Was Big

“Mummy, I hafta pee!” My freshly potty trained two year old dashed into the bathroom where I was blow drying my hair, tugging at her pajama pants as she ran. I set the blow dryer on the counter, scooped her up, and rushed to the toilet, unwilling to test the urgency of her declaration for even a second longer […]

One New Food: Roasted Red Potatoes Recipe (Sort of)

December 6, 2014 By Lauren

Roasted Red Potatoes

I’m the kind of girl who needs a recipe to follow. My hubby can just toss things in a wok and end up with delicious fried rice, but if I tried something like that it would be completely inedible. HOWEVER. The other night I made roasted red potatoes. There’s a recipe I’ve followed in the […]

One New Food: Meatloaf Recipes (and Giveaway!)

November 21, 2014 By Lauren

One New Food Enjoy Life

I know, I know, when you think about healthy changes, meatloaf probably isn’t the first food that comes to mind. One New Food for me, though, is just as much about expanding my kids palettes as it is about getting them to make healthier choices. When it comes to meat, the kids will grudgingly eat […]

One New Food: Coconut Oil

November 14, 2014 By Lauren

Coconut Oil

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

One New Food Parsnips

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

October 31, 2014 By Lauren

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 […]
