After I pick the boys up from school, my oldest usually always ask to go to the smoothie place. I don't know what his obsession with smoothies is lately. Maybe it's the warm weather we are having here on the east coast, but I'm not mad at it. Whatever way I can get extra fruits… Continue reading Dragon Fruit Smoothie

While store-bought mayo is convenient, it is also… Continue reading Homemade Mayonnaise

I like to buy organic when I can, but it is not always the cheapest option. When we make our weekly trip to Costco, my husband always cringes as I walk by the 'regular' chicken and go straight for the organic chicken. It is usually always double the price per pound. After looking at all… Continue reading Slow Cooker Whole Chicken and Vegetables

Scrolling through Pinterest for easy dinner ideas is not easy when trying to avoid dairy. With pictures of golden cheesy casseroles and creamy alfredo with pasta, it really makes you crave for dairy back in your life!
