These Easy Whole Wheat Blender Crepes are the best make-ahead breakfast or brunch! So perfect for a special Mother’s Day breakfast, plus they’re 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly!

Hey guys! I know, two posts in one week?! What is even happening over here? Well currently I’m alone inside my house actually being able to get a little work done, which, like for basically everyone, has been really hard lately.

So a big shout-out to my husband for keeping the kiddos outside long enough for me to be able to form a thought or two that doesn’t revolve around them being either bored, hungry, or more likely, both. You feel me, parents, I know you do (and hey, maybe my last post – these Honey Paloma Cocktails – can help you like they’ve been helping me 😉 ).

Anyway, Mother’s Day is practically here (only 4 days away!), so let’s get to these crazy-delicious and easy whole wheat blender crepes.

Honey Paloma Cocktail Recipe

May 2, 2020 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

The Honey Paloma is an easy and delicious tequila-based drink that’s perfect to pair with all of your favorite Mexican dishes! It’s also a Weight Watchers and 21 Day Fix cocktail, plus it’s gluten-free and low-carb!

Hiya foodies! I hope you’re all safe and healthy and well. And if you’re lucky enough for all of those things to describe you, then I hope you’re also ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this week! Because don’t we all need and deserve Mexican food and drinks in this time of crisis? Tacos and tequila are basically a comforting blanket of love.

As I write this, it’s the first of May, and as some of you may know (ha!), it’s my favorite month. It’s my and my baby sister’s birthday month, the month of celebrating mamas (like my amazing one!) and Cinco de Mayo, which also just so happens to be my little blog’s 5th birthday. She’s getting so big!

With that being said, before we get on with the show, I did want to take a second to give you, sweet reader, some bottom-of-my-heart gratitude. I seriously love you people. You have no idea how much every single share, recommendation, Insta story, message, email, pin, etc.. means to me. You guys let me do this thing that I love so much, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.

So thank you ♥

Easy Healthy Pantry Meals {Budget-Friendly!}

March 17, 2020 By Stephanie 2 Comments

These easy, healthy pantry meals use ONLY pantry ingredients making them super budget-friendly! Perfect for camping, using up pantry items and.. um.. quarantine?

Hey guys! How are all of you?? We’re doing ok here. I’m basically considering myself lucky that I already work from home, waiting to hear from the kids school about remote learning and hoping to pick up maybe one more package of TP. You feel me.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot about all of you and how I might be able to help you in some small way in this insane time we’re living in. I know a lot of grocery stores are still pretty empty (which, btw, is why I didn’t end up putting out a meal plan last week), depending on where you are, so I wanted to get some easy, delicious and healthy pantry meals to you asap.

So on Sunday, I opened my pantry, took stock of what I had on hand and wrote out 10 recipes to test (9 of which made it to this list, so not too shabby!). I wanted to title this post “A foodie in the time of coronavirus”, but I thought that would be hard to search google for.

Oh, google, aside from my husband, you’re the one constant in my life.

I LOVE pesto, who’s with me?!! For the sake of this post, I’m going to pretend that I heard lots of loud, boisterous cheering from all of you because pesto is perfection. Seriously, what’s not to love? You combine a handful of amazing ingredients that you then use to coat pasta. Hmm… pasta.
