We are entering our last couple weeks of school and my crew is crawling to the finish line. They’re tired, burned out and a tiny bit grumpy. Summer can’t get here fast enough. These next couple weeks a meal plan will help us stay in our routine until the school year is over. It will…

SUNDAY Skinnytaste Sloppy Joe’s. This is my favorite homemade sloppy joe recipe, and it’s relatively fast. Perfect for a cold and cozy Sunday.

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 1
Here we go! It’s time to roll into New Year’s resolutions. Some say it’s not healthy to indulge and deprive, but sorry, I’m a human being. Really, it’s all about perspective. In January, I plan to add things to my diet. More whole foods, more vegetables, more healthy fats that fill me up and keep…
Weekly Meal Plan: December 18-23
WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS DINNERS Sure, your “to do” list may be getting shorter (or maybe it’s not). Either way, this is a week full of activity. Kids are home from school, gifts need to be wrapped, stocking stuffers squared away. I’m linking a few of my favorite “brainless” weeknight dinners without much chopping or prep….
