I don't know about you, but I'm still settling into the school day routine all over again. It's hit me hard this year. I guess because my little girl was eagerly sleeping in pretty decently in the summer and now all the sudden it's a 6 am wakeup call to drag her out of bed. She isn't like me. She isn't a morning person.

It's easy (even for me) in the midst of chaotic mornings to not eat as well as I should, or even *GASP* eat nothing at all. Recently I got my hands on these Sejoyia Coco-Roons and I gotta say, they are perfectly portable, popable, mom-friendly, guilt-free snacks. But, I decided to take them a step further from snacking today to include them in this Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl!...

Skinny Tomato Basil Soup

This was actually one of the first recipes that I posted here. It's been a family favorite for years and years now. Well, at least 7 years anyway! It was also one of the first real recipes that I made for my family.

I love it for how easy it is to make, but it's also one of the most delicious soups you can make, and is rather guilt free too!...

Mediterranean Bowl

So, originally I was going to call this a 'breakfast' bowl, but then I started to realize that you could eat this for just about any meal. If you want it more 'breakfast' style you could cook the eggs scrambled or poached. For lunch? I prefer the hardboiled! Making it into dinner? Toss in some grilled chicken.

With all of that being said, I decided it was best to just call it the Mediterranean Bowl, and not label it with a specific meal type. No matter when you decided to enjoy it, it's packed with loads of nutrients and good-for-you stuff...

California Style Open Face Breakfast Sandwiches

Ever since I got my pullet eggs last week, I've been in breakfast heaven. And since I'm getting more of them later today (while they're still in season), I wanted to use up the few that I have leftover for breakfast again today! It's not what I had planned, but Hurricane Harvey sort of threw me off my schedule that I had laid out. So, I'm just winging it here.

If you missed it last time I talked about pullet eggs, basically they are smaller eggs that are laid by chickens under a year old. They're richer and have bigger yolks than eggs laid by older and more mature hens. So, when I find them for sale I always buy them while I can...

Southwest Dinner Salad

I can hardly believe that yesterday was the first day of my daughter going to second grade! Time just flies these days, even more so when it's time for back-to-school. It's a chaotic and unforgiving time of the year for any parent. That's why I'm all about simple meal solutions right now. And with it still hovering around 100 degrees F. here in Austin Texas right now, you know I'm opting for a nice big, cool, crunchy, veggie loaded salad.

This Southwest Dinner salad is no joke. It's big. It's hearty. And it's loaded up with plenty of goodness. It's really so sooo good...

We made it! I finally got back from our end of the summer spur of the moment vacation road trip across two states with just myself, my mom, and my little girl. It was a blast! The girl trip that we've always wanted with three of our four current generations of ladies among my family. That being said, we literally got home with one day between us and back-to-school! Talk about flying in hot.

What else does back-to-school mean? Meal time chaos at it's finest. Add in a touch of being exhausted from the trip and you've got the perfect mix for bringing in my favorite wing mom. The Baroness...
