Life has been so crazy lately, I feel like I can’t catch up on the things I need to do! It’s been a great summer so far… our 10-month old is kinda almost walking and our 2 1/2-year old is hilarious with her ever growing vocabulary. Sorry I’ve lagged on posting recipes lately but things have been nuts! Hope all is well with you and your family!

Ok so pizza, who doesn’t enjoy pizza?! Pizza on portobello mushrooms? What’s better than that! No bloated processed pizza crust feeling, no processed food headache… you can have pizza ALL THE TIME this way! I make these when we go camping, they’re super easy to make on the grill or in our little RV oven!

Green Overnight Oats

We love oatmeal, we eat it almost every morning. I try to spice it up some days but most days it’s the usual raisins, nuts and some type of fruit on top. We’ve been rotating between the usual, the Orange Creamsicle Oatmeal and this one lately. This is really easy to make the night before and it’s great to be able to pull breakfast out of the fridge, heat it up and go. I’m out the door in a hurry most mornings, rushing off to Crossfit so this recipe is perfect!

Kale Mac n’ Cheeze

May 23, 2012 - Posted in Makes Great Leftovers, Our Toddlers LOVE This!, Quick Meals

Our toddler is going through a picky meal time phase lately… I’m not happy about it at all but I know it’s normal and will soon pass (hopefully!). She’s been rejecting her usual greens so I’ve been trying to figure out ways to hide them in other foods she will eat. Ugh, I was hoping I’d never have to play “hide the greens” with my kids but I suppose it’s my turn. 🙂

The original version of the “cheese” in this dish is from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen Blog… one of the best vegan food blogs EVER!!!! I changed the recipe a bit this time, added a little more spices. Turned out great! It’s so easy to make too which is double great! We don’t eat a ton of pasta anymore so I figured this might spark our toddler’s interest, maybe she won’t even notice the green stuff!!
