These grain-free "cookie dough" bites are addictive! It's hard to eat just one or two! And at our house, the whole batch is gone the same day I make them, I'm lucky if I can get these to last us two days! They are an easy, healthy, and delicious grain-free snack!

Delicious Grain-Free Banana Muffins
Our family has been moving toward eating more grain-free over the past few months, and I've been trying to replace some of our old favorite recipes with good grain-free alternatives. One of my kid's favorite things for breakfast, or a snack, is muffins and I have a healthier banana bread muffin recipe that we love. I tried one grain-free banana muffin recipe and it just didn't go over well - it tasted too much like eggs and over-ripe bananas. Not a good combo! But, we had made the grain-free … [Read more...]

This is Day 71 of the Green in 365 series!

But unfortunately, our current grocery budget just doesn’t allow it.

Cute as a Button: Free Printable Candy-Free Valentine’s Cards
This is Day 33 of the Green in 365 series! It's the month of love and Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Since my daughter is in school now she has to hand out Valentine's to her class. But, it so frustrating to me that every month there seems to be a reason to hand out candy at school, so I try not to add to the candy craze by having her hand out candy-free Valentines. When you're in school though, there's not much cooler than giving and receiving candy. To help her feel good … [Read more...]

Has anyone started on their garden plans yet? I need … [Read more...]
