Let's see...trying delicious ice cream flavors. Saving a few calories. Getting a better night's sleep. Yep, Nightfood ice cream checks off all three boxes for me. A 1/2-cup serving of this new ice cream (should you, unlike me, be able to…
For ages, we've talked about the joys of serving breakfast for dinner for our kids. But dessert for breakfast? I'm all in for that. Especially when it's the Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream for Breakfast collection (no longer available, many ot…
Am I the only mom who's constantly running out of sandwich bags and plastic wrap? Probably not. By packing lunches and storing leftovers for 6 people in my family, I cannot keep them on hand. So when Liz suggested I purchase a set of Ete…

I never need an excuse to visit Trader Joe's, but these cool new products for fall have given me even more reason to fight for a parking space -- and throw budgetary caution to the wind at my favorite grocery destination. Seriously, thes…
I get it, believe me. School mornings are busy! And as much as we love sharing healthy, homemade lunch box snack recipe ideas , I'm totally no-shame when it comes to a pantry full of store-bought snacks that I can pop into my kids' backp…
Let's talk about coconut sugar, since so many people in my life seem to be doing just that these days. I'm always trying to make healthier versions of the sweets I love (looking at you, sweet potato cupcakes ), which means I'm using natu…
I've always refrigerated my butter. It's what my parents did. It's what my friends did. Which is why I was (pleasantly) surprised to hear recently that storing butter in the fridge might not be necessary. Could it be true? Are my dreams …
Leave it to Jell-O to give kids even more incentive to watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, generally play with their gelatin-based food products in the cutest way ever -- a brand new new set of six Jell-O Play boxes just launched today. CMP …
My oldest is off at camp this week -- wahh ! -- and we're missing him badly. So, we're sending snacks. Because food is our love language. While not all camps allow food to be sent to campers in care packages (be sure to check with them b…
I am so stoked to have recently discovered Elmhurst Milks , a plant-based and hella delicious new line of 10 non-dairy milks made from both nuts and grains. Elmhurst actually started as a traditional dairy farm in the Northeast, but I'm …
Let's talk reusable straws, and the need for alternatives now. Because depending on where you live, you may have noticed that your favorite restaurants are no longer offering plastic straws. That's due to a push to cut down on single-use…
Squeezing juice out of a lemon isn’t difficult. Or is it? I would love someone nerdier than myself to test, on average, how much juice most of us leave behind in our citrus fruits after squeezing. It pains me to toss even zested rinds kn…
Parents of kids with food allergies know that the best way to avoid a terrible reaction while their child is away at camp -- or any time, really -- is to be crystal clear: my kid has a severe food allergy . Especially when your kid is aw…
You may have seen CBD oil pop up in your Instagram feed, in recipes, on wellness blogs and even in the recent issue of Martha Stewart Living . I’ve noticed CBD touted as an ingredient in beauty products and on fancy cocktail menus. While…
While I love the gesture of breakfast in bed for Mother's Day, I would honestly squeal with joy if my family presented me with this totally hand-crafted, premium chocolate breakfast in bed gift box from Austin's Maggie Louise Confections…
I admit I’m a little obsessed with Trader Joe’s . I find myself breathlessly recapping my recent shopping trips there like most people discuss the latest political scandal these days. (Truly, I’ve spent way too much time at dinner partie…
It was easy to fall into a baby food rut with my son, especially when he was under a year and really, really into string cheese and applesauce. So I was intrigued when I heard about Little Spoon's Blueprint , a delivery subscription serv…
I admit it: When Stacie asked me to try mushroom coffee, my first thought was hard pass . Mushrooms? In my coffee? No thanks. But as it turns out, word on the street is that mushroom coffee is the best new way to get your morning buzz. N…
Last year, I committed to making more meatless meals -- you know, ones that would actually satisfy my family of omnivores. Though it took a while to find a groove -- and the right recipes -- I have gotten our meat intake down to two to t…
If there's one thing that brings all serious food lovers together -- whether we love to cook or just to eat -- it's a never-ending desire for more. Whether it's wanting to try every jar of deliciousness at the specialty food store, colle…
We love nearly everything at Trader Joe's, but are especially appreciative of their time-saving shortcuts and well-priced specialty products, which are even more helpful during the hectic holiday season. So this year, we found the best T…
My husband and I switched to a Paleo diet three months ago, and even though I love carbs, we're still going strong. Yes, the pounds and inches we've lost are great motivation to stick to it, but changing what we keep in our kitchen has b…
Sports season is in full swing, which means so is the begging for brightly colored sports drinks. I get it: If the parent on snack duty failed to supply me and the rest of the Purple Ponies (yes, real name) with Gatorade after a game, I …
