Every Friday is special. It's special because it's the start of our Sabbath. A beautiful crisp, clean white tablecloth floats on the table, we take out our wine glasses and fill them with "wine juice" (a.k.a. grape juice) and you can smell the fresh challah baking in the oven. My family has a few traditions for this weekly holiday. Besides lighting the Shabbat candles, saying the prayers … [Read more...]
Red, White & Blue Rice Crispy Treats (Vegan & Gluten Free)
We had just gotten home from a trip cross country (during a pandemic!) and with my 3 little ones, all I had energy left for was my fun fruit flag and that's what I was planning. Fast forward to the 4th of July. The girls were disappointed they didn't get cotton candy at the parade (my daughter saw it but we couldn't find where they were selling it). So I looked around my kitchen … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2021
So after the year we've had, I would guess (at least, speaking from my personal experience), every Mom would like a break. Honestly, a vacation. Truly. Desperately needed. But that might be a tall order for a Hallmark holiday. ;) (In fact this post is late because not 1, not 2 but all 3 kids were up at all different times tonight making it very challenging to finish and send this out!) A … [Read more...]

Creamy Broccoli Potato Leek Soup (Vegan & Gluten Free)
This soup is perfect for St. Paddy's Day, or any other day of the week! I am a firm believer in not wasting food, as much as humanly possible. I had a leftover baked potato from dinner the night before, 2 leeks that needed to be used and an avocado that wasn't going to last another hour! So… this soup was born! I encourage you to use what you have on hand too! Rarely do veggies not go well … [Read more...]
Baked Feta Pasta (Vegan & Gluten Free)
So I've been seeing this Baked Feta & Cherry Tomato Pasta recipe EVERYWHERE on IG (probably like you all have too!). (And yes, I know this viral sensation started on TikTok but my computer software developer husband wouldn't let me join! LOL!) I had zero interest in making it because I don't like feta cheese. But I got these GORGEOUS cherry tomatoes from Frecker Farms. My 4 year old … [Read more...]

Nothing says Valentine's Day like a heart shaped cookie! :) This recipe is gluten free, vegan, has good protein and fiber from almonds, fats from coconut oil and is naturally sweetened! The ingredients are all ones I feel good about enjoying with my children! This is a fun one to do with the kiddos too, since they can help do it all… measure, stir, roll, cut out the heart shapes, frost … [Read more...]
Heart Messages
Valentine's Day tends to focus on flowers and candy. I think there are other fun and truly heartfelt ways to show the people in your life how you really feel about them. Here is a fun one you can use for the kids in your life (your own, grandkids, etc!). Starting February 1st we (and by we, I mean, "I!") write a conversation heart and stick it on the girls' door while they are sleeping. When … [Read more...]
