Hi Reader, Somehow Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We are actually staying put and looking to have a low-key Thanksgiving, which I am very much looking forward to! Some good food, a full belly, great company, and hopefully we'll get out for a family walk. I haven't done a turkey day 5k since before kids, so maybe I'll find one near us! Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? I'd love to hear them! Tasty Thanksgiving Sides Don't forget to leave a recipe rating if you love it! ALMOND...

Hi Reader, Why yes - I did put "Healthy breakfast cookies" in this newsletter's title... Because I'm currently obsessed with them. They make a great snack, but when paired with hard boiled eggs or greek yogurt, I honestly love having them for breakfast because it starts my day off with a serving of veggies! It's really hard for me to eat veggies at breakfast, unless I'm ordering an omelet for brunch. I naturally gravitate towards a sweeter oatmeal but these sweetpotato oatmeal cookies are the...

Hi Reader, While breakfast during the week is typically on auto-pilot, we usually take the time on weekends to make a fun breakfast. Like sheetpan pancakes or these waffles (there is secretly spinach in here but you would never know!). These waffles are ready in minutes, are naturally sweetened with sweetpotatoes, and can be topped with your favorite toppings. I love them for babies and toddlers, and even myself! Just use your favorite waffle maker and see how much you love them. Get the...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! As a bonus email this week, I wanted to send along some options to add to your table for Mother's Day this Sunday. We will likely go to church, come back home for lunch, then head out to a local brewery with some friends for music, food, kids playground and more. It should be a fun time.

Hi Reader, I was 37 years old when I learned about sheet pan pancakes, and how magical they are. No joke - they helped get me through solo parenting, especially the sprinkled mix! They were an easy breakfast option (that took 15 minutes to make ahead of time, mostly just in the oven while I could do other stuff, like make lunches). And speaking of lunches, I used them for lunch, too! Not the same day I served them for breakfast - don't worry. But they are an easy addition to kids lunch boxes....

Hi Reader, I'm hoping this email will help simplify meal planning for you. It doesn't have to be all or nothing - like I talk about in my "How to meal prep" ebook (which had several purchoses/5 star reviews over the weekend!) Here is a picture of my notes app that I use to plan our meals. Most of the planning I do is "mental" planning, meaning I try to allocate certain meals we'll make this week based on what we have. Vs. physical meal planning, where you actually make the meals. That works...
