My Diaper Bag Essentials (+ A Life Update)
People are consistently asking me what I feed my little man (who is now 20 months old, can you believe it?!) and whether or not I am making my cute food art for him. The truth is that this can be a really tricky topic for me (and no, I do not make the food art for my son…yet. I’m just lucky if I can get him to eat some form of protein). I will try cute food later but for now I just want to get him into the basics, which means I deeply rely on great snacks options to get him the nutrients he needs. And now that I am living…

Grain-free, Nut-free Vegan Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Well, I finally did it—feast your eyes on these grain-free, nut-free vegan chocolate chunk beauties!! Whew. Nicole and I, along with a couple bonus mama testers (shout-out to Cynthia and Jen!), teamed up to test about 25 batches of cookies these past few weeks! High fives all around. I couldn’t do it without these amazing ladies. Over the years I’ve been asked so many times to develop grain-free vegan cookies…and nut-free vegan cookies…and grain- AND nut-free vegan cookies! Haha. So you know what I did? I created grain-free and nut-free vegan cookies. It wasn’t easy, but the journey was rather delicious. These cookies have actually been in the making for a couple years…

Fruit and Veggie Car Snacks
We are big car lovers in this family (and by “we” I of course mean my toddler son). I just simply provide all the sound effects, horn-tooting, and screeching halt noises with my mouth while playing cars with him. We go EVERYWHERE with either a truck, bus, or car in hand. There is no way we are walking out the front door with at least one! So as a way to give my son a snack that he would actually LOVE, I thought why not create these Fruit and Veggie Car Snacks for the Super Simple blog as part of my monthly contribution this summer? Who knows, maybe, just maybe I have figured out…

3-Ingredient Chia and Quinoa Flatbread (vegan)
Go to Source Author: Angela (Oh She Glows) Oh boy, allergy elimination diets are a breeze! Said no one ever. It’s been challenging to think of recipes when many of the foods and ingredients I love are also ones I should avoid for a bit before gradually reintroducing. So when I came up with these flatbreads, I was seriously overjoyed! There’s always a silver lining. It’s hard finding bread-like foods with short ingredient lists at the grocery store, so I took matters into my own hands in the kitchen. It’s been a while since I made a flatbread (way back to my first cookbook). Six trials later, I finally nailed the recipe! (Of…

Zucchini Bread Oatmeal
Would you believe me if I told you that, before today’s post, I had two other recipes written, photographed, and ready to share…only to scrap them at the last minute?! I think I was cursed these past couple weeks because I just couldn’t develop a recipe that I could 100% get behind. I have to say it nearly killed me to finish all the work on those new posts only for them to be put on the shelf, never to see the light of day. I hope you know that I only share recipes I’m crazy about (and that my testers are also crazy for) because I want to be absolutely sure you…

Say goodbye to the days of adding a carton of yogurt into your kid’s lunchbox! These homemade Dairy Free GoGurt pouches are the perfect option when you want to send your kid off to school with a healthful snack option made without artificial ingredients or food coloring. Made up of only four ingredients, these yogurt packs on-the-go are full of dairy free plain yogurt, fresh fruit, maple syrup and…wanna take a guess? RELATED: DIY Chocolate Pudding Snack Packs Give up? It’s chia seeds. I wanted to thicken up the yogurt little more without changing the flavor profile as well as add a little more nutrition to these Homemade GoGurts and the chia seeds did just the trick!…

These Mexican Stuffed Peppers are a clever way to get more veggies into your family’s bellies, plus, the bell peppers make for a new way to celebrate your next Taco Tuesday.

Sub…

Easy Chocolate Hemp Protein Balls
It’s okay to give yourself a break. This is something I’ve been reminded of over and over again since the beginning of the year. In a recent newsletter, I shared my struggles with injury and overtraining and opened up about why I decided to take a big old exercise break starting in January 2018. It felt so wrong to do that at the start of a brand new year, let me tell you! I was so nervous to send that newsletter issue out, but the response was fantastic, and many of you said you’d been going through something similar. It never ceases to amaze me how supportive this community is! The themes of…
