Breakfast

Sneaky Veggie Dark Chocolate Protein Pancakes

I remember the days when I was happily pregnant and dreaming of what my future child would be like. Beautiful, charming, sweet, kind, and - of course - a foodie that put all other foodies to shame.   Yes, this child would without a doubt love food the way I do and revel in the culinary arts. He would never be afraid to try new foods, and at the very least he would enjoy the simple things like raw carrots or ants on a log.   Ah, young Heather was so naive. She had no idea ... continue reading...

Fall Seasoned Brown Rice with Dried Cherries, Almonds, Brie and Sage

Fall is in full swing and the flavors in my meals these days are showing it! I am one of those people who really enjoys thyme, rosemary and sage year-round, namely because it reminds me of a cozier time of year. I know I’ve made it clear that I love to cook for friends who have food allergies because it is fun to be able to help them feel at home without having to worry about not eating what everyone else is eating. Selfishly, though, I think it is really fun to challenge myself to find new ... continue reading...

Buffalo Style Pumpkins with Death Eater Ranch

This post is sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are my own. Can I be honest with you guys? I’ve never been much of a Halloween person. We all know the people who are – they decorate their yard like a cemetery, hang trick-or-treat pumpkin buckets on all of their light fixtures, dress up multiple times in the month of October, host incredible parties where the requirement is to come in costume. It’s fun, it’s cool, but I never understood the appeal.   Until I had ... continue reading...

FRIDAY Y'ALL!!!   The leaves are changing, a week of pure craziness is over, a weekend of fun looms ahead. I am so excited to spend time with my guys after all of the hand/foot/mouth madness and travel stuff the past couple weeks.   Let's talk TV for a minute: what are y'all watching? Obsessed with? Can't stop watching? We've been on a kick with Poldark, Suits and Man in the High Castle - and I really really love all of them! We actually cut cable recently so I've had a ... continue reading...

Let me tell you guys a little story.   When I was about 24 years old I was working as a personal trainer from 5am-6pm, driving through North Dallas traffic on the daily, and taking masters-level courses in dietetics. Not an easy load by any means, and certainly not what I would recommend on do if they get sick. But I did...get sick, that is. It was a weird feeling - just achy and fevery (although I never thought to take my temperature) at first, and then when that subsided I started ... continue reading...

What I’ve Been Reading Lately

I remember growing up I was always the kid with her nose in a book. My parents tried to get me out of the house to play sports or do activities, and I did (and enjoyed) that as well, but if you had asked me about my happy place? Well, at the ripe old age of 8 it was in a warm bathtub with the latest edition of The Babysitter's Club.   Since becoming a mom it's been hard to reserve the time to sit down and dig into a book. This year, though, I really wanted to make a concerted effort ... continue reading...

Happy Friday all! I feel like this week has just flown by - like we just started getting used the fact that it wasn't September anymore and BAM! it's Friday again. Not mad because I love me some weekend time, but it's just nuts how time seems to be picking up speed...   OK so I need your help and tips and any intel you have to give me: HOW on earth do I keep my kids' stuff in the playroom? Besides the obvious "make them pick it up and keep it in there." I swear to you guys, these toys ... continue reading...
