Homemade Taco Seasoning, one of the quickest seasonings to make from scratch, which makes it easy to make . I always double the recipe so I have it on hand. 2 tablespoons of this mixture packs a punch.

Real talk: I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been MIA for a while. Life has been nuts. Going back to work, a sick baby, sleepless nights, covid and daycare are all taking its toll. This post-workout selfie is my little proof, and what I truly needed.
I’m still here, and I’m trying to get back into it. This blog is one thing that makes me me. Honestly I haven’t even been cooking much 😳.
I’m hoping to ease back into things this week. So tell me, what do you need from me? What would you like to see?

As you all know, I’ve had a severe for my whole life. (It’s calmed down to moderate in the last 5 years thankfully). One thing I was increasingly worried about was that my son would end up with the same issues.
The other day we had to do a bottle of formula (because and ) and gave the regular formula a shot. No reaction, at least not as severe as I had! Maybe down the line he will have some issues, but so far so good. I breathed such a huge sigh of relief.
For my out there, how did you first know your child had food allergies?

Let’s talk snacks. Am I the only one that finds low FODMAP, and snacks so hard to come up with? I made this hummus without garlic for a healthy high protein snack the other day and sometimes I add it to my lunch.

Hi all!! I’ve been awfully quiet lately as I’m getting adjusted to life as a to this adorable little snuggle bug. I promise this week I’m going to try to get back to things and the blog, mainly because I need to do something to feel like “me” (and I’m extremely limited on my yoga right now 😭😭😭). Keep your eyes peeled for a new post before the end of the week and some updates from me throughout the week!
Until then, enjoy the baby spam 🥰🥰.

Fructose malabsorption can be confusing, misleading and hard to manage. I’ve had it for 13 years, and it was a struggle for the first 8. Having research based information and resources has helped me tremendously, along with the low FODMAP diet.
Looking to learn more about fructose malabsorption and how the low FODMAP diet might help you manage it? I’ve put together an article giving you that information to get you started. Link is in bio.
Do you have ? What do you struggle with the most?

Happy National Dog Day to our best girl and the best big sister 🥰 I’ve been a little quiet the last few days because our son was born Saturday morning. We’re home, recovering and taking in all the baby snuggles, feeling extremely grateful for our little guy 🥰. Taking some time to be with my new little family, recover, and get used to our new normal. I’ll be back in action soon 😊.
Until then, to celebrate National Dog Day with your pup, make them my Frozen Pup Pops. Recipe link in bio!

Alrighty friends, I need some ideas. These 🍆 are from our garden. The hubby came in with 5 on top of the 2 we already had 😳😳 They were hiding in our jungle of a garden. What are your go-to eggplant recipes?? Girl needs some ideas...
If you don’t normally cook eggplant or don’t have recipes, which recipes would you like to see me develop? There’s 4 more waiting in the garden so I’ll have the produce to do it 🤣🤣🤣.

Cooking up some tomato sauce in my slow cooker today!
I went to buy some premade jarred tomato sauce at the grocery store this weekend that was the sensitive recipe (no onions or garlic). Let me start by saying I’m so thankful there are those options at our store 👏. BUT they all cost between $7-$8 a jar 😳😳😳.
Now I knew this prior to shopping, but I had a little sticker shock in the moment. I’m beyond 🤰🏼exhausted at but I just couldn’t bring myself to pay those prices when I had a few other expensive things to get.
So I opted for my slow cooker and a little extra effort this morning. Tripled my normal recipe using 3 cans of tomato purée (about $4 total) and a bunch of pantry ingredients. I’ll be tired but it’s worth it.
All of this was just to say how thankful I am for what I have and the abilities I have, but man can having all of these and be expensive!
Stay tuned to my stories to see what I do with all this sauce. Anyone else have these feelings??
