One of our go-to recipes around here is homemade guacamole! There's nothing like a fresh bowl of guac set out on the table to accompany a taco supper...or even if it's just plain set out for people to enjoy as an afternoon snack! My immediate family has been making this guacamole recipe for many years now. We've taken suggestions from others and tweaked it over time until it has been just right. :) I love it as a snack, but it is also amazing to have alongside or on your tacos! When we have … [Read more...]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Shake (a clean eating recipe)
If you follow along with me on Instagram (actually, my Insta Stories), then you've seen that Bjorn and I jumped into healthier eating habits lately. We're currently at about Day 9 of eating better and we are feeling great! I am aiming for more of a clean eating diet. I've overhauled the food in our fridge and cupboards to allow us to make more clean eating friendly meals. Changing my habits has been even more of a mental shift than I expected...and that's probably a good thing! While I … [Read more...]
Once A Month Meal Planning: A Guest Post
Today's post is a special treat, written by my dear friend Jordan! If you've been around the blog for a while, then you've seen other posts she has shared here at Just Bee. Jordan has also written about creating a baby registry, hope for midnight mamas, and fighting anxiety with God's truth. Today she’s sharing about meal planning! If I had to list my least-favorite household duties, meal planning would probably make it very near the top. So, it should come as no surprise that I’ve tried a … [Read more...]
Our Experience With Blue Apron (+ 3 free meals for you!)
** Thank you to Blue Apron for sponsoring this post! As always, all opinions are my own. For Bjorn and me, the kitchen is the heart of our home. Sure, we love spending time in our living room or watching a movie together, and I love the peaceful haven of the bedroom, but we always seem to gravitate back towards the kitchen! I've been blessed to marry a man who is just as excited about cooking as I am, and what's neat is that we are equally competent in the kitchen! That makes supper time fun. … [Read more...]
Warm Vanilla Almond Milk
If you know anything about me, then you know I'm a huge fan of hot drinks! I'm not a coffee drinker, but I certainly love my fair share of tea and other warm beverages. I shared my Simple Hot Vanilla Milk recipe a while back. It is so nice to have a go-to warm drink recipe on hand. But, we don't always have regular milk in the refrigerator! Many families now days have a carton of almond milk in the fridge, whether it's for baking with or if a family member is lactose intolerant. Almond … [Read more...]
Apple Feta Salad
This post is an old favorite pulled from my archives. With spring finally here, this salad is the perfect fresh side dish (or, let's be honest, a main dish because it's just that good!). :) My dear friend Jordan and I get together whenever we can - we live about 2 hours apart but we still do our best! :) Once when we ate supper together, she introduced me to this amazingly delicious side dish that she and her husband love! This fresh salad with apple slices and feta is such a fun … [Read more...]
Homemade Coconut Chia Pudding
I developed this pudding after experimenting with several batches and a couple different types of coconut milk and extracts. Today I wanted to share this fun snack with you! Coconut Chia Pudding Gather: 1 can coconut milk (probably not Lite, so that you maintain a thicker texture) 1/3 cup chia seeds 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1-2 tablespoons honey Berries (I use frozen mixed berries - my favorite: the raspberries) What To Do: Pour the coconut milk … [Read more...]
Simple Hot Vanilla Milk
It's amazing how habits and routines - small comforts, even - come and go in our lives. Things that used to bring us happiness or help us to relax can get forgotten over the years. But the most fun part is when we remember to bring them back! Resurrecting old familiarities can be so reassuring! Hot milk or steamed milk beverages are that perfect "comfort drink" for me. I've always enjoyed discovering new recipes. I used to experiment with making milk shakes, smoothies, and hot drink … [Read more...]
