Toddler Approved Salmon Street Taco

Toddler Approved Salmon Street Taco

I know there’s a craze known as Taco Tuesday. But to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t see the harm in having a taco everyday. I personally prefer taco salad or street tacos instead of what we’ve come to know as a taco. But just what is a street taco and how is it different? A street taco is usually served open-face and on a soft corn tortilla. You can then roll it up and consume it quickly. Toppings will vary but usually include salsa of some kind, onions, and cilantro. Recently, I had the urge to make my own street tacos at home. Now, while I would love to tell you that I am capable of making everything from scratch.. I take a…

It is a commonly believed myth that in order to eat healthy, you need to spend a lot of money. I want to put that to rest here and now.

How to Save Money and Still Eat Healthy

It’s a commonly believed myth that in order to eat healthy food, you need to spend a lot of money. Believe me, I bought into this too. And it’s not difficult to buy into that when you walk down the aisles of a grocery store and compare prices. But, it is possible to save money and still eat healthy. You just need to know where to shop. Thank you to Whole Foods for sponsoring this conversation. While I was compensated for this post, that does not change my opinion. Going back to school can be a pricey time of the year as a parent. School supply lists that are seemingly never ending come pouring in and then there’s a matter of lunches if your child…

Back to Learning Basics and Helping My Autistic Daughter Find Her Voice

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BTSwithHP #CollectiveBias While we aren’t back to school until after Labor Day in NY, I’m still trying to do whatever I can to help Sweet B get ready. That means adding to and preparing for her afterschool at home program. And it also means going by her IEP plan to determine what we’ll do- both for the rest of the summer and for the school year. One of the things I’d love to work on with her are basics like literacy skills, counting, and using a computer. The last one is especially important because once she learns how to use a computer, I hope to help her find…

Pumpkin Pie Sugar Cookies

Happy First Day of Fall… or Spring if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere. For all of my friends and visitors who are also welcoming in the first day of Fall, I wanted to share a simple recipe for pumpkin pie sugar cookies. Though the name may be a little misleading because there is no actual pumpkin pie filing or pumpkin puree to be found in the cookies, they still have a pumpkin pie flavor to them. All thanks to a little pumpkin pie spice. But believe me, that addition did make a difference. My taste tester (Squeaker) approved of them immediately and they were scarfed down at church, too. I have found, typically, that when it comes to the pumpkin craze- people are one of…

Why I Let My Toddler Eat Cookies for Breakfast

This shop has been compensated by CollectiveBias, Inc. on behalf of its advertiser, Similac. #NutritionintheMix #Collectivebias #Walmart When back to school time hits, it’s definitely easy to get caught up in the chaos. In hopes of easing this usual stress, I’m taking all of the steps I possibly can to make the routines easier on everyone.

How can I possibly ease the madness of back to school and still make sure that everyone is eating properly? With cookies for breakfast that include new Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins™ – available…

A crowd pleasing appetizer, this three ingredient bacon and cheddar cheese ball is so easy to make!

3 Ingredient Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Ball

Bacon and cheese is one of my favorite combinations. And that’s also because bacon and cheese are two of my favorite foods. So any opportunity that I can get to combine them? I’m all for it. That includes appetizers to main dishes. One of my favorite appetizers to make lately is a bacon and cheddar cheese ball. And the best part about it? It’s so easy and starts with three ingredients. From there, of course, you can jazz it up as much as you’d like. This pairs well with crackers, bread, or if you’re like Squeaker, just dig in with a spoon. The recipe is also easy to double in terms of quantities so if you need a larger one or want to make multiple…
