Have you started school yet? What are your go to lunchbox foods?
🥝
💚
🥒
I always have fresh veggies on hand to help make lunch prep, easier and faster. In the beginning of the week, I will chop and wash a bunch of vegetables so that I can place them in their lunchboxes as needed which really helps! I also added some kiwi as a new fruit that we haven’t had in a while. As a main course, we had a pesto couscous with zucchini and shrimp.

What’s tour favorite items for a taco night??
🌮
🧀
🥬
I’m pretty sure we could single-handedly survive on tacos almost every night. When my girls were little, we had them as well, but I would offer it to them deconstructed. Here is a great way to introduce different flavors to babies and toddlers, and the best part is, you’re only making one meal for the whole family! We made fish tacos with some sautéed corn on the side, along with kale and a cucumber onion salad, which the girls loved!

What is your favorite type of salad to add in a lunchbox?

for today’s lunch, I’m adding some leftovers from last night, we made a quinoa, black bean and corn salad. I love making batches of various salads to throw into our lunchbox for a quick easy protein lunch.

Looking for an easy Valentine’s Day snack? Find a heart-shaped cookie cutter and get to work!

I sliced apples and use a heart shaped cutter to cut out the core. I also cut up some strawberries using a heart shaped cookie cutter to put in the center. I feel like cookie cutters make everything more festive.

What’s your favorite thing to add to egg salad??
🥒
🥚
🍃
Today, the girls and I made egg salad for lunch. Although, I must admit, I wish it looked prettier than it does 😂 we added a bit more to our egg salad than we typically would. We added some of our favorite cottage cheese for extra protein. For a crunch, we added red and orange peppers, and some of our favorite cornichon pickles. Lastly some lemon, mayo, avocado and salt and pepper. We are packing this up for lunch — although we will pack some bread on the side.

Happy St Patty’s Day ☘️

Have you had Irish soda bread? And also- have you made buttermilk? If so, how?! Tonight we made Irish soda bread, which called for buttermilk. The store was clear out of it— so we made our own buttermilk with milk and vinegar. The bread turned out good— the girls loved it and it will be perfect for snack, added to breakfast or dessert

What did you make for Valentine’s Day?
❤️
💜
🩷
The girls and I made a delicious Valentine’s Day lunch using puff pastry, cream cheese filling and topping it with dye free heart sprinkles from Trader Joe’s. I always love to add the sprinkles when I can but sometimes the themed sprinkles are loaded with dyes and junk. This one was dyed with beet juice!

Life has been so busy for so many reasons, and I’m just not making as many posts as I did a year or so ago. I took some stories of the Chanukah lunches I made the girls, but forgot to take actual photos for posts. So I’m reposting an older one instead 🫣 .

I love festive food and had so much fun with this waffle maker from we made tons of waffles. I made a big batch and froze them to have throughout the holiday season. Keeping with the theme of blue and white, I packed cub a side of blueberries and marshmallows. I fancied up her yogurt with some blue sprinkles which she loved and of course a piece of gelt in the middle 🕎

Have you been to Disney recently?

We have been going for a few years now, and each year I learn new must haves to bring! Did you know you can bring your own food and drinks? Saves a TON and money and ensures you have food your kids will eat (FYI a small bottle of water is about $5) you can also ask for a cup of ice at any food spot! I bring hyrating snacks like applesauce pouches, oranges, and also some snacks like crackers, nuts, and bare fruit snacks! Another must have is cordless chargers because my phone is always dead before the end of the day. has my favorite charger because it’s slim and fits right in your purse, pocket, and so quick to charge. If you don’t have one yet— check it out!
