I’ve been rummaging through my pantry- sort of an end of year clean up & had extra pumpkin purée left from Thanksgiving so these muffins happened... . . Something about kids & their love of muffins never ceases to amaze me 🤷🏽‍♀️ but these are yummy & just right w/ a cup of tea for us big kids too. . . . This spiced #nutfree recipe is adapted from my pumpkin chocolate chunk loaf( with out the chunks) & made w/ spelt flour. I omitted yogurt & added 1/4 cup buttermilk( or you could use yogurt) & baked for 18-20 min. The recipe w/ notes on how to make these muffins is found in my bio under Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Loaf 👆Makes 12 muffins 🧡 . . #bakeandshare #bakinglife #cookniche #makeitdelicious #bakeyourworldhappy #bakefromscratch #trymyrecipes #mypinterest #realfooding #feedyourfamily #healthykids #goodmoodfood #thebakefeed #sweettreat #muffins #realfoodforkids #feedfeed #foodgawker #kidapproved #onedegreeorganics #simplyorganic #rodellevanilla #pumpkinseason #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy How was your weekend? I felt like I was either running around, making a mess or standing in line forever somewhere 🙄.. . . . This time of year always escapes me - if you need a little pick me up... here are my holiday inspired energy bites. The color is from crushed freeze dried raspberries 👏. They are #nutfree & #refinedsugarfree made with a double dose of @sunbutter & chopped sunflower seeds. . . . You can also stash them away in your freezer so that you can take them on the go while you are waiting in line, making a mess or running around 🤭🤦🏽‍♀️ . . . Thank you also to @greatist for including them in your lineup of “19 Sunflower Butter Recipes That Prove It Deserves A Spot In Your Pantry”. If you’d like the recipe, check out the link in my bio for “Sunflower Cacao Balls❤️👆 . . #eatonhealth #feedfeedglutenfree #feedfeedvegan #rawfood #healthyish #eatingwelleats #allergyfriendly #top8free #sunbutter #kidapproved #choosehealthy #rdapproved #ksgram #tastecooking #thrivemags #nobake #thebakefeed #rodellevanilla #foodblogfeed #healthyrecipes #blissballs #feedfeed Have you had enough of cranberries yet? . Here’s another up close & very personal shot of my cranberry apple baked oatmeal w/ dried currants & a whole lotta lotta 😳I love how all the cranberries get all squishy when baked 😃I made this before we left for the holiday & froze it so I would have breakfast all done when we returned 👏 . . . After baking, let the tray cool. Cut into single serving slices & lay flat on a baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 1 hour( freezing individual portions first makes it so they won’t stick together). Take off baking sheet & transfer to a freezer safe baggie or glass container. Reheat when ready to serve or leave out on counter to defrost slices. . . . The recipe for this #nutfree, #dairyfree oatmeal is on the blog - link in bio ❤️ . . . #eatonhealth #bakeandshare #bakinglife #bakelife #cookniche #makeitdelicious #bakeyourworldhappy #bakefromscratch #trymyrecipes #mypinterest #realfooding #feedyourfamily #healthykids #goodmoodfood #healthandwellness #refinedsugarfree #thebakefeed #wholefoodfavs #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy #feedfeed #tastecooking #f52grams #f52oven #choosehealthy #thecookfeed Today is #givingtuesday & coincidentally I have a new post up on the blog( link in bio 👆) about our recent trip to Minnesota. I’m sharing ten tips that we’ve found helpful to stay safe with #foodallergies while still enjoying the holidays. . . . The best gift to give someone is your time. I’m always so grateful to everyone that works hard to include us in their home & keep my little girl safe. Gifts are nice but fleeting...while making memories are everything. . . . Even if you don’t have food allergies, I hope this post helps you to accommodate someone you love who has dietary requirements or food allergies. So many people here on this platform have given me strength & the tools necessary to step outside of my comfort zone when it comes to managing my girl’s food allergies so I’m glad to share what we’ve learned on our journey too. . . . If you swipe left, I’ve included some of my fav photos from our trip which was a little like Little House On The Prairie” ❤️ xoxo . . . #foodallergies #givingtuesday #kindnessmatters #parentsirl #familycircle #allergicliving #foodallergy #foodallergymom #allergyfriendly #allergytravels #motherhoodunplugged #parenthood #motherhoodintheraw #payitforward #minnesota #captureminnesota #travelminnesota #top8free #healthyholidays #whatsyourstory Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends celebrating today! . . In case you need a last minute sauce, here is a cranberry chutney I love to make each year- it’s sweet -n- spicy & you can freeze leftovers for later or serve on a cheese plate too. Link is attached in my bio 👆 . . We are in Minn-e-snowta( no snow yet but just like to say it ☺️) soaking up time with family & getting ready to munch on a lunchtime feast of goodies ❤️ . . . Hope you are surrounded by love, light and laughter today & always 🍁🧡❤️ . . #eatonhealth #healthyish #realfood #feedfeedglutenfree #feedfeed #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy #eatrealfood #nutriciousanddelicious #thecookfeed#cranberries #thanksgiving #cleaneating #knowyourfood #eatlocalgrown #feedyourbody #fuelyourbody #healthyfoodchoices #balancednutrition #choosehealthy #healthyinsideandout #cleaneats #TASTEcooking #ksgram #chutney Hey everyone! There’s been so much going on over here ( fires, poor air & school closures ) & I’ve been packing to head to the Midwest tomorrow so I’ve been missing you all & a bit MIA .. . . . But today I’m joining a group of talented blogger & baker friends to share our favorite cranberry creations under the hashtag #yesyoucranberry. Thanks to @whatannieseating & @squaremealroundtable for hosting this festive collaboration ❤️ . . . It’s that time of year to celebrate these tart beauties so I baked them up into this cranberry apple oatmeal. It’s free from refined sugar, dairy & nuts but the recipe is adaptable so you can tailor it any which way you like ❤️👏 Serve it to your friends & family the day after thanksgiving for a lil pick me up.. . . . For more inspiring ways to use these tart beauties, check out #yesyoucranberry & the recipe for this baked oatmeal is in my profile 👆❤️ . . . #eatonhealth #feedfeed #cookforjoy #organicmoments #top8free #allergyfriendly #thecookfeed #thebakefeed #cranberries #f52grams #ksgram #baking #healthybreakfast #refinedsugarfree #bakefromscratch #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy #realsimple #tastecooking #amazonhome #enamelware #nourishbowl #feedingkids #riseandshine I can’t believe the holidays are approaching so quickly 🙈🙊.. here’s an oldie but goodie; a golden beet dip that’s sure to brighten up any table. . . . It’s an easy #sheetpan dish where you roast golden beets & puree them with cooked lentils, cumin, EVOO & garlic. Drizzle with some tempered oil that’s been lightly crushed w/ more cumin seeds & garnish w/ pom arils, radishes & parsley. It’s loaded with flavor, vegan & #top8free too. Recipe is in my bio 👆 💛 . . . #eatonhealth #healthyish #realfood #feedfeedglutenfree #feedfeed #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy #eatrealfood #nutriciousanddelicious #realfoodheals #healingfoods #rdapprovedv#cleaneating #HEALTHCOACHING #knowyourfood #feedyourbody #fuelyourbody #nourishbowl #healthyfoodchoices #balancednutrition #choosehealthy #healthyinsideandout #f52grams #TASTEcooking #ksgram #thecookfeed Here’s one last fig treat I’m sharing from our #figsgiving celebration. This beautiful fig & carmelized onion galette( shown here pre-bake) was made by my talented friend Bebe @champagneandcookies. . . . The onions are sweetened with @justdatesyrup & tucked underneath with some goat cheese. The crust was speckled with fresh herbs & the result was this perfect buttery goodness. It was one of the tastiest galettes ever👌🏼 💜 It can get kinda lonely as a #foodblogger, throwing out images into cyberspace, so collaborating IRL with friends is special & inspiring...especially when they leave you with delicious gifts like this 😋👏💜 thank you Bebe! . . . #eatonhealth #vfigfeed #feedfeedbaking #f52fall #cagrown #baking #thebakefeed #marthabakes #bakersgonnabake #wsbakeclub #instabake #figs #galette #bakefromscratch #realsimple #ediblesf #sffoodblogger #sffoodie #lifeandthyme #bareaders #ksgram #feedfeed #tastingtable #pursuepretty #refinedsugarfree #justdatesyrup #shareyourtable If you are looking for a quick-n-easy appetizer, here’s a twist on the classic stuffed date- stuffed figs 💜 . . . These cute little dried figlets are from @valleyfig & they are celebrating national #figweek. . . . My pal Bebe @champagneandcookies & I made & feasted on these a few weeks ago and threw ourselves a #figsgiving celebration 🎉 using these beauties. . . . To make: slice figlets in half. Spoon a dollop of labne & top with pomegranate arils, slivered almonds( or pepitas), mint & vanilla salt( regular sea salt is good too). Drizzle with @justdatesyrup. .. it’s like a flavor bomb in each bite 👏 . They would make a fun & festive holiday plate too 💜❤️ . . . #eatonhealth #vfigfeed #weircooking #justdatesyrup #todayfood #feedfeed #feedfeedglutenfree #refinedsugarfree #thenewhealthy #eatingwelleats #thecookfeed #driedfigs #cagrown #imsomartha #realsimple #ksgram #shareyourtable #realfooding #goodmoodfood #f52grams #f52holiday #ediblesf #peanutfree #meatlessmonday Yesterday was my girl’s 7th birthday party so it was all about the sprinkles, 🦄 & smiles. I made this chocolate cake using @rosannapansino recipe with some adjustments( baking time & less sugar). It’s swooped w/ a chocolate cream cheese frosting 😋. I love these sheet cakes because they aren’t fussy or fancy especially for a simple baker like me 👏The most important ingredient is a whole lotta love 💗 . . . #eatonhealth #feedfeed #feedfeedbaking #feedfeedchocolate #baking #wsbakeclub #bakersgonnabake #cupcakeproject #thebakefeed #f52grams #birthdaycake #chocolatecake #rodellevanilla #indiatree #marthabakes #bakefromscratch #cakesofinstagram #cakestagram #foodblogfeed #ksgram #bakingallyearround #nordicware #realsimple #weekendbaking #nutfree #peanutfree #nerdynummies Happy Halloween from my two goofballs...Thanks to everyone who participated, watched & shared in the #tealpumpkinspotting love 💙 A special thanks to my friends @allergy_girl_eats & @umpala_rain for hosting with me. May you all have a joyful & safe Halloween 🧡🖤👻🧟‍♀️ . . . #eatonhealth #tealpumpkinspotting #top8free #halloween #targetstyle #target #halloweencostume #kidswithfoodallergies #parentsirl #thenewfc #motherhoodunplugged #kids #allergicliving #tealpumpkinproject #trickortreat #momlife #parenthood #motherhoodmoments #familycircle #foodallergyawareness #parenting #healthykids #mommyblogger #foodallergyresearcheducation #motherhoodintheraw Are you all feeling ready for Halloween?! I made some chocolate dipped marshmallows to get in the spirit 👻🧟‍♀️🎃. . . . To make: take 1/2 cup @enjoylifefoods chocolate chips & melt w/ 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. Insert cake pop sticks into marshmallows & dip halfway into chocolate . Coat bottoms & sides w/sprinkles. Add 👀 if desired. Place upright; sprinkle side down on a wax lined parchment tray so that the chocolate sets & hardens. . . . It’s a messy project but #nobake & easy to do with your kiddos or friends. Makes about 14 pops.
