First Pregnancy 2017 vs Second Pregnancy 2020

Well, if you didn't know already (because I realize I hadn't even announced our pregnancy on the blog yet, oops!) I am pregnant with our second little bundle of joy. I am due in August and obviously for many reasons, these pregnancies have been completely different but actually a lot more similar than I thought. First Pregnancy in 2017 Daniel and I waited almost 10 years of marriage to start trying for a family. I knew this was risky because we had no idea how long it would take to get ... View the Post

Vanilla Cake with Lemon Frosting + COVID-19

We are on day 6 of our social distancing (we are fine!) campaign because of COVID-19 and lucky for us it's not hugely different for our family, because I am a stay-at-home-mom and Daniel already works from home, but we are hunkering down for 2 weeks (hopefully not longer!) to help stop the spread of the virus here in the US. My mom told me a couple months ago that I didn't need to feel the pressure to go out with Oliver so much, but I replied that its actually easier to manage a toddler's ... View the Post

Açai Bowl Recipe

You know when you try something new for the first time and literally can't believe you hadn't tried it before because it instantly becomes your favorite dish of all time? Well that's what happened when I tried a Spoons Açai bowl for the first time. I kept buying them for a little while but at $12 a pop it's not a cheap meal for 1. So....I did what I do best and I tried a million recipes till I loved it enough to make it for a million more days haha. No seriously, if you follow me on ... View the Post

French Toast Recipe

Thanks to my Instagram Husband for pouring the maple syrup! I've loved breakfast my whole life and now that I've incorporated eggs (from my mom's friend who has chickens in her backyard) I'm excited on a whole new level. From omelettes to a good old fried eggs on toast, the options are endless. I'm releasing an eBook soon called "Healthy Kids Snacks" and in that will be a recipe of mine that I use ALL THE TIME for breakfast and snacks for Oliver. It's so easy because you can freeze the ...

Rooibos Cran-Peach Cooler

Say hello to summer with these refreshing 2 ingredient coolers. My son, Oliver, didn't have juice until he got sick when he was about 15 months old and the only thing he would drink was my Rooibos Cran-Peach Cooler. I say my cooler but the recipe actually came from my mom who tasted something similar at a friend's house in South Africa when she was visiting, and decided to make her own version when she got back to the States. So, thanks mom for letting me share this delicious recipe here on ... View the Post

Easy Dinner Recipes: Veggie Pizza with Vegan cheese drizzle

I didn't have pizza for quite a while because I couldn't find a good vegan cheese substitute but what's a Friday night-in without a pizza and a movie? Earlier this year my mom bought some Trader Joe's Vegan Mozzarella shreds and I finally found an option that I enjoyed in small amounts. So, I either use the Trader Joe's Vegan Mozzarella shreds or I make my own cheesy drizzle that takes 2 minutes. The recipe is included below. My hubby and I are busy watching the X-Men series in ...

Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

I'm so excited with how easy this recipe turned out and how delicious these homemade vegan peanut butter cups are. Come follow me on Instagram and Pinterest I don't have a light and bright kitchen so I photograph all my food outside on my countertop, but of course it's been raining in Charlotte this whole year so far so it has not been easy. However, in between showers I managed to race outside and nibble on these chocolate peanut butter cups while trying to get a few good photos. The ... View the Post
