Strawberry Kiwi Popsicles

Dairy-Free | Dessert | Feeding Kids | Recipes

It’s the ultimate mom dilemma, right? Your kids are crazy about a fruit one week, so you buy more of it the next week only to learn that, “Mooooommm. I don’t LIKE [name of fruit] anymore!”

That was the birth of these strawberry kiwi popsicles.

Self-Care Soup (White Bean and Veggie)

Dairy-Free | Lunch | Postpartum Health | Recipes | Self-Care

I cooked all the time pre-children. Every weekend, I’d make a batch of soup and divide it into individual servings for lunches I could take to work. And almost every night, I’d make a home-cooked meal to enjoy with my husband.

But now? Ha. Ha ha ha.

Making Time for Kids in the Kitchen

Cooking with Kids | Dairy-Free | Recipes | Toddler Feeding

I am all about taking shortcuts in the kitchen. Give me pre-chopped vegetables, one-pot meals and simple side dishes, please. I used to love puttering about and exploring new recipes, but now that I’m a parent, I just don’t have time.

One of my favorite easy and healthy meals is baked salmon with roasted vegetables.

Real Moms’ Real Bodies: Melissa G.

Dairy-Free | Postpartum Health

Easy Dairy and Soy-Free Dinners

Dairy-Free

Freezer to Sheet Pan Lemon Pepper Salmon & Green Beans

Dairy-Free | Recipes

Sheet pan meals are a great time saver, but if I’m being honest, I don’t love them quite as much as freezer meals.

They’re fast and easy, for sure, but in my experience they still involve more prep (chopping, seasoning) and clean-up compared to a freezer meal for which I’ve already done the bulk of the work (lasagna = pop it in the oven and done).
