This is great! 50+ Tempting Cold Drink Recipes to Help You Kick the Soda Habit! from LiveRenewed.com

Summer  is here! And one of the things that I really missed when our family first made the switch to real food was soda (or pop, Coke, soda pop, fizzy drink, or whatever else you might call it!) I knew that soda was really bad for me, but there's just something about that ice cold carbonated drink that I especially crave when it's super hot outside!  What I don't like though, is the effects that soda has on my body! I get headaches and really bad back pains and aches whenever I drink it. So, … [Read more...]

Like me, you probably strive to feed your family real, whole, and healthy foods, but maybe sometimes your actual diet can veer pretty far off course. Our family recently found ourselves eating more processed foods than usual, eating out more often, craving sweets and carbs, and feeling exhausted all the time, we knew it was time to do something about it! If you're ready to improve your family's diet too, be sure to check out these five simple secrets!  Photo credit: … [Read more...]

Quick & Easy, One Skillet Taco Chili Mac Recipe

Quick and Easy, One Skillet Cheesy Taco Mac Recipe at LiveRenewed.com

For weeknight dinners, I'm all about quick and easy recipes like this Taco Chili Mac! I don't like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen when my kiddos are clamoring for dinner, and I definitely don't like to create a lot of dishes to wash later! One of my favorite things about bulk purchasing meat from a local farmer is that I always have meat ready to be defrosted! So often, I pull out a pound of ground beef from the freezer in the morning without really knowing what I'm actually going … [Read more...]

Food Swapping {Green in 365}

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

How to join a food swap for homemade food in your area!

  This is Day 328 of the Green in 365 series! By Sara from Your Thriving Family, Contributing Writer Don't you love homemade foods? That seems to be a huge selling point when looking at labels in stores. "Tastes just like homemade!" Well, we don't always have time to make the variety of things we'd like to try ourselves - and let's face it we all have different talents. Maybe you are a great cook, but not such a good baker. Well, I have a frugal, green and delicious … [Read more...]

These are so helpful! 8 Tools for Packing a Now Waste Lunch from LiveRenewed.com

This is Day 319  of the Green in 365 series! My daughter started full-day Kindergarten this year, so she eats lunch at school everyday now. Ugh! While I'm sure you'd love to hear me rant about school lunches and how awesomely terrible they are, it kinda hurts my brain, and stomach, just thinking about it. And let's not even discuss how a rice-krispie treat is counted as a "grain" on the school lunch menu. You think I'm joking, right?! So, I have resigned myself to packing school … [Read more...]

Southwestern Frittata: A Breakfast Revolution Recipe

Southwestern Frittata from The Breakfast Revolution by Beth @Red and Honey

What do you usually eat for breakfast every morning? What do you feed your kiddos for breakfast? I'll admit, it's really easy for me to fall into a lazy rut that often leads to not-so-healthy breakfast choices. Even though I'm committed to feeding my family real and whole foods, that commitment definitely wanes at 7:00 AM when I'm trying to get everyone dressed and ready and out of the house on time. So when my friend Beth of Red and Honey said that she was coming out with a real food … [Read more...]

Green in the Life: Reusable Straws

This is Day 291  of the Green in 365 series! I mean, how could I not share this picture with you? Look at that sweet babe rockin' the baby curl mohawk and sippin' on a delicious green smoothie? It's not really life-changing or anything, but I recently ordered some stainless steel reusable straws from Mighty Nest and I totally love them. It actually makes me really happy to use them. I'm weird like that! I used to wash and reuse plastic straws, but they'd eventually have to be … [Read more...]

Healthy Homemade Slushies {Green in 365 at LiveRenewed.com}

  This is Day 176 of the Green in 365 series! Growing up, nothing said summer like an ICEE from 7-11.  We’d ride our bikes down and get a cup full of dye and corn syrup.  Well, I don’t know about you, but that is something I am not willing to have be a part of my kids' summer experience. I still want them to have a fun and full summer with our own traditions. So this summer we will be finding all sorts of other frozen treats! One I love is slushies.  Sure you could do … [Read more...]

Healthy Cake and Birthday Treats The cake is the centerpiece of any good birthday party, isn't it? I will be honest and tell you that I have not really jumped on the healthy birthday cake train.
