Built Bars – Review and Flavor Breakdown
Update: I’ve updated the flavor breakdown with the newest flavors through October 2020.

Construction Site Birthday Cake
This one is a little out of my usual focus for a recipe, but what can I say – I’m a sucker for my FOUR year olds requests (demands) and he wanted a construction truck cake for his family dinner birthday cake. Not only did I get a request for a construction cake, but a…

Creamy Banana Chia Pudding Bowls
Years ago, my best friend and I somehow managed to line up childcare for all five of our babies (between the two of us!) and sneak out for a moms’ lunch. And honestly? That alone was reason enough to celebrate. Back then, getting out of the house without a diaper bag felt like a national…

Mini “Donuts” with Greek Yogurt “Frosting”
It’s crazy I haven’t wrote a post since May. Between pregnancy exhaustion and newborn life, we’ve been surviving off meal trains, granola bars and door dash.

In fact, they just issued an excessive heat warning in Orange County through 10pm tonight! Odd, since tomorrow it is forecasted to rain. On top of the heat, Ryder has a little cold so I…

One week we will through 15 bananas and the next, one bunch of bananas will sit on the counter without being touched all week, while slowly developing those black spots I call yummy freckles (because I love mushy, overripe bananas).…

When I say these “Apple Pie” Muffins are so simple your toddler can make them, I mean this is the perfect recipe for your toddler to help make because there is no raw egg and the steps include “fun” activities such as mashing bananas. If your kid is anything like Ryder, he’ll love getting to…

Guilt-Free Dessert: Strawberries and Nutella
Can you believe that there are people who actually dislike Nutella? None of the people that live in my house, but it’s true!
