For those of you that read my blog, you know I like to write about healthy food and nutrition. I'm always searching for new, healthy recipes and snacks for my families. I was super excited when I got an email from Somersault Snack Co introducing me to their products.

Somersaults are a yummy, healthy snack baked with sunflower seeds and toasted grains. Nestled…

Tonight as I watched a recorded TV show (that ran during prime time), I came across a commercial that angered me. It was about Pop-Tarts. It had these happy looking cartoon features (kids and mom), lots of colors, most of which looked like candy and then the tag-line for the Pop-Tarts was "Made for Fun". Maybe I'm a bit…

I love finding simple, healthy recipes for my toddler. I've posted many recipes before that incorporate sneaking veggies, protein and fruit into meals. I thought I would share some yummy breakfast ideas that are always a hit in my house. I swear, these recipes are super simple and easy to make.

We eat a lot of fruit in our house.  Sometimes I get a little over zealous and buy way too much and end up with a basket of super ripe fruit at the end of the week.  We usually use this to make smoothies or popsicles.  We have been mixing up some interesting concoctions over here & I wanted to share a few.

So, I'll be honest - I kind of made this up. After we visited Pomme Baby in Newport Beach I was inspired to find something my new eater would be interested in - she had just started trying to feed herself and I was looking for a healthy complete protein for meals. Its super easy - Trader Joe's sells already cooked brown rice in the frozen section and a veggie mix called Soy-cotash. Its the traditional succotash mix with soy beans instead of lima beans, plus green beans and corn, but any…

Cooking has always been something "I wish" I could do good. Unfortunately, especially now with baby, I find myself making the "easys". Plus everytime I get inspired to cook something exotic or interesting, I either burn down the kitchen or end up throwing half of it away.
