Happy fall, friends! It certainly feels like autumn in Minnesota today! It feels like 51 degrees here - windy, blustery, and lovely with leaves starting to change! The kids and I went on a walk this morning and we definitely needed to bundle up in this wind! I'm trying something new today and sharing a recipe via video! If you haven't heard yet, I have a YouTube channel as well, where I share snippets of our daily life, food, homeschooling, and more. I'd be honored if you'd head over there to … [Read more...]
Coffeeless Whipped Coffee Recipe
Finally, here's an easy recipe for whipped coffee…without the coffee! This coffeeless "Dalgona coffee" recipe lets you enjoy the new whipped coffee trend without the caffeine! In this post, I'm sharing how you can use a particular coffee substitute to make delicious whipped coffee! It's a great Dalgona coffee alternative. Let me back up a little. If you've followed me on Instagram or here on the blog for a while, then you know I'm a huge fan of coffee shops! In my mind, there's nothing better … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Oat Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
I'm excited to share today's post with you because it involves one of our very favorite snacks! We make these all. the. time. In our family we call these "yummy balls" and it's basically an emergency when our stash runs out! :) I've shared these already over on my Instagram, but I wanted to make sure the recipe was accessible here, too. I know there are many energy balls or energy bites recipes out there. But my favorite has to be this one, because this recipe - while still kind of sugary - … [Read more...]
Ham, White Cheddar, & Broccoli Quiche
Bjorn and I came up with this quiche recipe one day when he was home from school during a blizzard! I suppose another name for this could be "Snow Day Quiche," because now we've made it on two separate occasions when we've been cooped up inside due to the winter weather! :) We've had crepes before that involved ham, cheese, and broccoli, and it's such a winning combination. The flavors work beautifully together in a quiche as well! (And the white cheddar adds a lot!) This quiche makes a great … [Read more...]
Sophie’s Horse-Themed 2nd Birthday Party
Sophie has been obsessed with horses for a long time! By now, she has done at least 7 pony rides (on everything from miniature horses to horses way taller than me!). She's calm and confident around them, while still being careful. Bjorn told me he has already resigned himself to the fact that he will probably be buying Sophie a pony someday. :) This is all so fun for me because I loved horses as a young girl, too, but never really pursued riding or had close experiences with horses (until I took … [Read more...]
How I Prepped Freezer Meals for Baby #2 (including recipes!)
I'm excited to share this post, now that I've decided I'm officially done with all the freezer meals I want to do! :) If you count each individual meal, I have made 18 meals, plus some grab-and-go breakfast/snack items. Each meal should technically feed our family for more than one meal...so I'm pretty pleased with how this project turned out! :) I prepared a lot of freezer meals back when I was expecting Sophie 2 years ago as well, so this is my second time prepping this way! However, back … [Read more...]
Recipes We’ve Been Loving Lately (+ a peek at what we’re trying this week!)
Maybe it's pregnancy, nesting, or it's just a new fun "hobby," but I've been really into finding new recipes recently! Some of them have been healthy and some have been...well, not healthy, but definitely still delicious! :) Bjorn was gone for a month this summer for army, and that's when I got a bit carried away with desserts! Hypothetically, it's a little dangerous for me as a pregnant mama to sit home alone with my daughter and a huge batch of raspberry dark chocolate cookies. … [Read more...]
Easy Shepherd’s Pie
What?! Another recipe so soon? :) Yep! This is a favorite meal in our family. I actually have to try hard not to make it once a week, because I really don't want us to get tired of it! :) If you're in the market for an easy supper recipe that's full of flavor (and nutritious veggies!), then you'll have to try this out. Shepherd's pie is another type of hot dish or casserole, and this meal is definitely one to have ready in your arsenal when your family is hungry and it's time for something … [Read more...]
