Spoiler alert: unlike many of these types of comparisons on misfits market vs. imperfect foods, I actually prefer and really love Misfits! That being said, I order from both each week because they both have their strengths and weaknesses that are worth exploring based on your family’s actual food and dietary needs. And for us,…
“Ay um sum tuuu” Em, my two-year-old, squealed as I furiously sliced sweet potatoes this morning. That can be translated as “I want some too” and was in reference to the butternut squash and sweet potato hash recipe I was cooking up in our instant pot. I was on a mission to find a yummy,…
“EWWWW! What IS that mom?” Jenn exclaimed when I picked up a package of pre-cooked organic beets while shopping. To her, these veggies of dripping with nutrition were yucky, bloody balls of “don’t eat it”. But I had a plan up my sleeve to make a hidden vegetable smoothie she would love. And guess what?…
On a cold and wet winter day, there are few foods better than a rich and wholesome soup. With rain tapping on the window and kiddos bundled under blankets in the living room, I pulled all of our seasonal winter veggies out of the fridge and pantry to make a nutritious butternut squash and cauliflower…
I have fond childhood memories making a hearty beef and veggie stew recipe in a vintage brown rectangular pot on our metal fireplace. Its aroma would fill the room long before it filled our tummies and was just a tasty and nutritious meal I remember sharing on cold, blustery days. Now with my own young…
The time crunch was on. My husband would be home in 45 minutes and I didn’t even have a clue what I would fix for dinner. This was the same scenario for how the Pressure Cooker Chicken Florentine recipe was born. It’s a mad dash the the fridge and turns into this stream of consciousness rambling…
Summer is made of dripping ice cream cones, unending giggles, and sitting in the sun and I want to give all of the to my kids… every day. But I don’t want to fill them with processed sugars.
I remember the first time I tried coconut milk I gagged. I didn’t like it. But as time went on and I started my health journey of eating healthier, and healthier, my tastes changed. Now I love coconut. I think it’s delicious. Coconut anything will do! Therefore I started trying to find other ways to…
On our whole30 journey, our family learned to love POM juice. While the magical fruit has always been a favorite even with our super young early-eaters, it was like manna in the desert to be able to sip some sweet juice. And it never got old. But we started adding limes to it, and mixing…
We don’t let our kids eat food with sugar in it until after they’re two. And yet my nearly four-year-old loves it. Because don’t we all? So even though she’s a great eater, I have been working on a nutrition learning theme that teaches children about food but also works to drastically reduce sugar intake in…
As I was loading up our shopping cart with quick and easy foods to eat that didn’t have added sugar in them and were healthy for our family, my husband suggested that we try to make our own no bake protein ball recipe or experiment to find an energy bite recipe we loved. So we…
Growing up I don’t think I ever had cauliflower. Seriously. I knew it existed, but I don’t think it ever walked through our door or entered our mouths for family dinners. But in the last 10 years or so I have been breaking out of my food box. I have been exploring and enjoying a…
