My lactation granola bar recipe is one of the most popular on my blog, and for good reason. They’re delicious, nutritious, and provide nursing mamas with a boost. There are lots of ingredients here that nursing mamas need for energy and to help their body produce milk, especially oats, flax seed, brewer’s yeast, and coconut. […]
It’s no secret that I’m a nursing mom, and I’m always on the lookout for recipes that help boost lactation. I make lactation granola bars and energy bites regularly because not only are they good for maintaining my milk supply, they are a delicious, sweet treat that I don’t have to feel guilty about. I […]
I’m forever on the hunt for healthy things my toddler will eat. Whenever possible, I like to make things at home as opposed to buying them so I can control the quality of ingredients. The less additives, the better! Breakfast seems to be the most challenging meal for me be creative with. I’m a working […]
Zucchini is one of those things that you can prepare a million different ways. Slice it, dice it, roast it, sautee it, grill it, fry it, put it in sauces, serve it with pasta, make zucchini bread, muffins, pancakes, tots, chocolate cake…the possibilities are endless if you use your imagination!

So, I haven’t posted much since I’ve become a Mommy. I’m on summer break right now, so I can’t really complain about being too busy, but I am enjoying a lot of snuggles and smiles with my sweet little guy before I have to go back to work in four short weeks. I have cooked […]
I think I’m kind of obsessed with this granola bar thing. There are so many different ways to make them – I just can’t help myself! This time I went back to the old standby of peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I also used coconut oil and added coconut. Try to contain your excitement. […]
I’ve been working at the granola bars again. This time, I went an entirely different route. The last three times I made them (until I got them right), I went the peanut butter, nut, chocolate route. And they were crispy and crunchy. And delicious. But as good as those were, I was itching to try […]
You see lots of recipes out there for granola bars. Well, I do anyway. We eat a lot of granola bars around our house, so after seeing several simple recipes, I decided I would make some. The method is very simple, and you can basically flavor them up however you want. So I set off […]
