I cannot believe that June is already over and we’re heading into the Fourth of July holiday. Who else feels like June flew by? This week the recipes include both old and new. My kids are creatures of comfort and, truth be told, they’d prefer to have to the same food every week if I’d let them. I am sure some of you mom’s can relate. So this week I’ve included some of their favorites as well as some new recipe’s we’ll be trying this week. All recipes leverage the amazing fruits and vegetables of the season and are quick and easy.

After a long, cold winter and spring, I eagerly anticipated the start of summer — long days, warm temperatures, and the best fruit and vegetables of the year. That’s why this week’s meal plan is loaded with summer fruits and veggies, and dinners that can be grilled or made inside (whatever works best for you).

Summer is here! And with the warm weather who wants to spend time in the kitchen? Not me! So this week you’ll find easy summer dishes that will have you in and out of the kitchen in no time flat.

I know all of the mom’s out there can relate when I say that the end of the school year is crazy. Between finals and field days, pool parties, and the rush to the last day, I find us running the final weeks of school. And this year is even busier with my youngest set to wrap up his middle school experience this week. My parents are in town this week and we have luncheons, award ceremonies, parties, and graduation itself so dinners need to be quick, easy, tasty, and fit for company.

After a week where I was traveling for work, I am excited to be home. We eat dinner as a family as often as we can (and always on Sunday) so dinner needs to be something even my pickiest eater will at least try.

Looking for a little something special to spice up your Mother’s Day brunch? Look no further than this peach watermelon rose sangria. Not overly sweet and loaded with delicious fruit, this is a great addition to your brunch (or afternoon snack) table.

If you know or have followed me for long, you know I have a serious sweet tooth. And indulging in it all too often does cause me to lose focus and takes me off the rails a bit. So instead of making dessert taboo, I’ve focused that effort on finding sweet treats that are both nutritious and delicious. Here are some of my favorite easy-to-make desserts that everyone will love.

You all know how much I love that phrase and I suspect it’s high on your list as well, right? OK, maybe not. That’s why every weekend I take 30 minutes and plan out our meals for the week. T

Ignoring the rain in the forecast today, it finally feels like spring might be here. This past weekend was absolutely stunning and by the end of this week, we’re supposed to be in the 80’s. And when the weather warms up, salads become my go-to for dinner. Today on the blog I’m sharing what I will be eating this week for dinner.

What’s for dinner mom? It’s one of my most dreaded questions. Today on the blog I'm sharing what we'll be enjoying for dinner each night.

One of the best ways to ensure success on the FASTer Way to Fat Loss? Preplan your meals! Not just some, but all. When you preplan, you know what you're eating, when, and if it fits within your macros.

Oh my! I thought I had hit the jackpot when I tried the seven-ingredient freezer fudge but that changed when I found this Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Fudge. I like simple, healthy recipes that don’t take long to make and this one fits the bill. It’s perfect for a low carb night when I’m low on calories and want a little something extra to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I’m always on the lookout for great new dinner recipes that combine a healthy dose of good-for-you carbs, fats, and protein and was super excited to try this recipe from Half Baked Harvest. While the ingredients remain the same as the original recipe, I have changed some of the prep work to optimize taste. This was easy to make and everyone loved it. It’s great for a family dinner or a casual get-together.

These tacos have been on repeat for the past two weeks. Not just once a week, either. Over the past three weeks, I think these have made an appearance on our dinner table no fewer than six times. They are just that good. And they couldn’t be simpler to make.

Who doesn’t love the Super Bowl? Even if you aren’t a football fan, there is something to be said about watching the TV commercials, listening to the performers sing, the tasty snacks and being with family and friends. Personally, I don’t care about the game. But the commercials and the food? Count me in! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite healthy Super Bowl treats for you to enjoy.

While I love chocolate and peanut butter fat bombs, sometimes I need something a bit more refreshing to satisfy my sweet tooth. So when I saw this recipe for raspberry lemon fat bombs I knew I had to try it.

Monday’s are busy in our house. It’s a late day for the kids (school, soccer, and basketball), there’s homework to be done, and inevitably I’m running late from work or stuck in traffic. To top it off, Monday is a low carb day for all of us in the FASTer Way and if I haven’t planned something quick and easy that fits my macros, it simply won’t happen.

Sleep is critical if you’re looking to lose weight or burn fat. If you’re not getting a good night sleep, you’re going to have a tough time shrinking that midsection. Why?

There is nothing better for a cold, wet day than a piping hot bowl of soup. I love creamy soup but don’t do diary, so I’m always on the lookout for options that are healthy and dairy free. This recipe for tomato soup yields a super rich, creamy, delicious bisque.
