A few little neighbor Christmas gifts this year 😍
Baked some mini bread loafs, added a .house towel, and attached a Christmas tag about Christ being the bread of life. ❤️

I think it turned out pretty cute!!

If you’re looking a great gift for your kids (or grandkids) this is it! I wrote a blog post about what the Yoto Player is + how to use it. Check it out!

My favorite mixers are on sale!! 🥳

If you’re into baking bread, you will LOVE this machine. Or really if you’re into baking in general. I use it every single week!
So let me tell you a little about it.

There are two to chose from:
The Bosch Mixer or
The NutriMill Artiste Mixer

What makes them different? You can read all about them on their website, but I’m going to go over three main differences that I’ve seen!

1st of all, price. This week both machines are on sale until November 27th. The Bosch is regularly $429 and is on sale for $329! The NutriMill Artiste is regularly $299 and is on sale for $179!

2nd, the load. The Bosch has a more powerful engine and it can knead up to 14 lbs of dough! Whereas the Artiste can knead 6lbs of dough.

3rd, the size. The Bosch mixer has a bigger base, and the Artiste mixer is more compact. Both have 6.5 qt bowls though!

So which one should you get? Both are great choices. It honestly just depends on what you want and are willing to spend. I have my mom’s old Bosch and it’s still going strong. I got the NutriMill Artiste earlier this year and have loved it.

Here’s the link if you’re interested in buying one!

Happy Halloween from our little Winnie the Pooh fam! We’ve got Eyore, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Tigger, and Winnie ❤️
The kids LOVED trick or treating tonight. Addalyn even broke into a Kit Kat and happily sucked on it while we walked around!

If you know me, you know that I don’t like to follow recipes. I also like to make recipes healthier. Especially desserts 😂

I will say that Dakota was a little sad that these weren’t regular pumpkin chocolate chip cookies… haha but we all ate them up! And liked them best on day 2!

Protein Pumpkin Cookies
1.5 cups buttermilk pancake mix
1cup pumpkin purée
1 egg
1/4 cup milk (or water)
1-2 T pure maple syrup
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Mix it all together and scoop onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes

Enjoy! Let me know if you try these!!

How is my sweet little baby ONE?! 🥹

Today my mom said, “I think Addalyn came straight from heaven with a smile on her face.” And I couldn’t agree more. She is pure joy and has brought so much love and happiness to our family. Happy birthday baby girl ❤️ We love you!!

Another easy dinner recipe for you 😍

All you need is naan bread (I used wheat)
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Zucchini (1)
Italian chicken sausage (2)

Dice up zucchini and chicken sausage. Cook in a skillet over medium heat with a little bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes or until zucchini is tender.

Top Naan bread with pizza sauce, cheese, and zucchini and sausage mixture.

Place in the oven on broil for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Watch closely and then enjoy! 😋

Breakfast is honestly my favorite meal of the day.

There are just so many great breakfast foods 😋

I made egg in the hole the other morning and topped it with some avocado and and crushed up bacon. And then that runny yoke? Man, it just hit the spot 😍

I made this french bread pizza for a little potluck lunch yesterday and it turned out so good!

This is another no recipe meal idea, so I don’t have exact measurements. Just add what sounds/looks good to you!

Here’s what you’ll need:
French bread (swipe for my recipe)
BBQ sauce
Cooked chicken (I used 2 Costco cans)
Mozzarella cheese
Tomato
Cilantro (I used freeze dried this time)

In a bowl add your chicken and a little bit of bbq sauce. I probably did just a couple of tablespoons.

Next, cut your French bread in half lengthwise. Top each half with another tablespoon or two of bbq sauce.

Add chicken on top of each French bread half. Then top with cheese, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.

Broil in the oven until cheese is melted.

That’s it! So simple and delicious 😋

Save this post for later!

There’s been a lot of new faces around here from my banana bread reel, so I thought I’d say hi! 👋🏻

I thought that not knowing what to make for
dinner was my problem.

So I spent so much time each week scrolling through Pinterest to find new recipes to make.
I was trying to reinvent the wheel with my meal plans so that we weren't eating the same thing each week.

But the crazy thing is, not knowing what to cook wasn't actually my problem!

Not having a system in place was.

So I compiled all of the meals that my family already loves and that I don't mind making.
I then put them into a meal plan that we rotate through!

And let me tell you, I no longer stress about what's for dinner anymore. I have all of my grocery lists for the weeks saved, so meal planning takes a solid 10 minutes per week.
Between that and grocery pickup, it has saved me so. much. time!

And probably more importantly, it's saved me my sanity.

I created a step by step guide to walk you through how to do it yourself! Complete with meal ideas, meal plan templates, and other printables. I've also included some of our favorite recipes as well!

This is your guide for all of the tips and templates you need to simplify the meal planning process.

No need to stay in the dinner rut any longer!
