Our Favorite Snacks

We love a good snack. One that is full of healthy nutrients to fuel our bodies and leaves us feeling satisfied. Snacks that are tasty and full of flavor. Snacks that are easy to make and stay good for a while in the fridge or freezer. Snacks that are easy to eat with one hand and that we can grab and munch on as we are driving somewhere, feeding our babies, or in between classes. Below you will find snack recipes that we have tried and used multiple times. We love them and so do our littles. We hope you do too. Muffins We love making muffins for our littles and ourselves. We often make large batches and freeze them so we have healthy snacks available to us all the time. You can even turn the recipe into mini muffins and they become the perfect snack for your toddlers.

Healthier Pumpkin Granola

Who doesn’t love a good granola?  That sweet crunchy goodness full of healthy ingredients and flavor.  If you’ve taken a second to read the labels on most store bought granolas, you will find they are loaded with refined sugars and ingredients. But wait! Granola is so easy to make yourself.  Once you try it you’ll never go back.  You can customize it any way you like and take comfort in knowing exactly what is in it.   I am a lover of all things pumpkin, not so much the weather that comes with pumpkin season, but definitely the foods and flavors.  I wanted to make a pumpkin granola for our breakfasts and snacks for the week but couldn’t find quite the right recipe, so I adapted an old one from Budget Bytes to create this gem.  Enjoy!

My Favorite Make Ahead Breakfasts

In my little family, breakfast is by far our favorite meal.   It’s the only meal where I can make one thing and know that, 9 times out of 10, everyone will be happy.   That being said, mornings are usually the busiest time of day for us so I love to have breakfast made the night before.   Taking one less to do out of the morning helps us all start our day happier.   If I could give you one tip for prepping your breakfasts the night before, it’s prep once, eat twice or even three times.   Any time I have the chance, I double the recipes and we either eat the meal two mornings in a row or I freeze half and have a breakfast ready to eat another day.   Here are my family’s favorites: 1.      Overnight oats I love how simple and versatile overnight oats are.   You can throw together almost any combination of grains, fruit, milk, protein, seeds and sweetener and you will have a winner.   Here are a few of my favor...
