“Busy” does not even begin to describe my lifestyle these days. Between homeschooling, running two businesses, and treating an autoimmune disease, I am always on the go. When I shop for my family, healthy snacks that we can eat on the run are a must. Healthy and convenient don’t always go hand in hand, and most of the time there is a lot of prep work involved. Thankfully, that is not the case with Chomps Snack Sticks! …
It’s that time again. Time to celebrate the birth of my baby girls. I can not believe another year has come and gone. This time of year is always bittersweet for Momma. I wish I could bottle them up and keep them little forever. At the same time, I really look forward to these parties. Giving my princesses a special day just for them brings me so much joy!…
I am a firm believer that finger foods are one of God’s gifts to busy mothers. There is simply nothing more convenient than a good finger food when you are starving on the run. And mothers are always always on the run. I can honestly tell you that there are many days when my little ones were infants that I would have gone all day without eating had there not been any food in the house that I could just grab with one hand. I made sure to stock up on things like berries and nuts and olives to get me through breastfeeding marathons. But my favorite things to snack on were meats and cheeses….
Stop what you are doing and go look in your freezer. See that bag of over-ripe bananas that you have been saving since the resurrection? Yeah, the ones you wanted to make banana bread with but have never found the motivation? Go ahead and get that out, because i’ve got your motivation right here. Cinnamon Streusel.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They are pretty much the number one reason I ever wanted to go to Red Lobster. Unless it happened to be that special time of the year for endless shrimp. Josh and I look forward to that all year long. I can stuff my face with some coconut shrimp and pina colada sauce. Oh Lordy. Of course….good things sometimes must come to an end. Thus I can no longer indulge in basket after basket of fluffy, buttery, cheesy biscuits from Red Lobster….
Brownies are my biggest weakness. Not just any brownies, though. I won’t blink an eye for your betty crocker box mix. Okay maybe I will. But It’s the homemade goodness that really gets me. The chewy, gooey, fudgy brownies that stick to your fingertips and the roof of your mouth. Fresh from the pan and chased with a cold glass of milk. THOSE brownies. Are my weakness. It doesn’t matter if I have been dieting for 29 days and I am 8 hours away from meeting my goal….you take a pan of homemade brownies out of the oven and that’s the end of me….
