Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal with Cream Cheese Topping (Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar Free, Dairy-Free Option)
I have had this idea in my head for so long. Carrot cake baked oatmeal… carrot cake baked oatmeal.. I just couldn’t shake it! I typically make this simple baked oatmeal and we just switch up our toppings, but it was high time I got to experimenting with the recipe. Before we move on, can […]
Spiced Nut Butter Balls
I am a fool for this snack ball trend. They are so good! So easy to pull together! So much better to snack on then junk food! The one thing they don’t have going for them is a good name- Nut Balls is just awful. So is Snack Balls. Energy Balls? Nut Butter Balls? A […]
Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites
Let me take you back for a second- imagine it’s Halloween in the early 90s. I’m probably dressed as a black cat (it was my thing). I come home with a pillowcase full of candy and start my sorting ritual with my mom. I would hoard the peanut butter cups and Hershey bars, and I […]

I love this recipe! I love that you can make these hours, days or even weeks ahead of your next big party. […]
Freezer Mashed Potatoes
Did you guys know you can freeze mashed potatoes?? Pretty awesome revelation. I usually don’t make mashed potatoes on a week night because it seems like too much effort. It’s not really that difficult, but boiling pots of potatoes (that often boil over) and needy children don’t mix. So I save it for a time […]
Chicken, Kale and Broccoli Casserole
Let’s start this with a .. YUM. Reasons to try this recipe: It’s full of healthy greens. Dark, beautiful, curly kale and a little family-friendly broccoli. I like greens on their own, but when you add pasta and cheese? That’s a win. It’s freezable. I made the full recipe; baking up half of it for our […]
Sweet Beet Pancakes
Oh, how the times have changed. If you told me five years ago that I’d be recommending that you eat beets in any form, I would have laughed in your face. But here I am, about to tell you why you need to make beet pancakes- and soon. This weekend, I had my first experience […]
Frozen Smoothie Bags
I am very excited to share this idea with you today! If you are looking to streamline your morning routine or looking for a quick and healthy mini-meal or snack for the kids, pay attention! This is a good one. I was inspired to make these frozen smoothie bags by The Tidy Nest‘s make-ahead freezer […]
