Life Through My Eyes

((This blog contains affiliate links to another website)) Sometimes I catch myself falling into a rut when it comes to breakfast....er...ALL meals. Before I know it - we are eating eggs every day for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and by the time supper rolls around - nothing is planned - and we tend to eat out or throw a pizza in the oven. I've been trying to be more intentional about using the food and produce that I have on hand at home - before we blow our budget and waist line and go out to eat! Here are some of my favorite breakfast ideas that may take a small prep- but all end up being simple grab-and-go meals that the whole family (yes, toddlers and husbands too) will enjoy! Breakfast Ideas Fruit - so simple. so delicious. Berries, bananas, melons, oranges.....be creative!  Fruit and Yogurt Parfait -  we love dairy free yogurt! I usually add 1/2 cup yogurt into a bowl, toss blueberries and strawberries in, and add coconut flakes, honey or maple syrup, hem

Not only are these muffins: Gluten Free Dairy Free Grain Free But they are also DELICIOUS and they include a secret ingredient. Are you ready? They include  BANANA CREME BONE BROTH POWDER  (on sale NOW) I didn't tell my husband what was in them, but when he came home from work (yes, I made these in the afternoon) - he asked to try them! He then said "mm - these are so good! Are they even healthy?" Yes. Yes they are. I'm extremely careful of what my toddler eats. But I let him have some of these as well! All you'll need for ingredients are: 1 3/4cup Almond Flour ( I used this one) 3 Eggs 1/3 cup Honey 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract 2 scoops Bone Broth Powder (I used  this one ) Coconut oil (I used  this organic, unrefined coconut oil ) 1/2tsp. Baking Soda a pinch of Sea Salt 1 cup fresh blueberries Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl - combing honey, eggs, va

If you're anything like me, you maybe struggle from time to time to find FAST, EASY, NOURISHING recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Personally - I can eat something that doesn't taste that great if I know it has nutritional benefits. My toddler and husband? Not so much.. This recipe, however, was SO fast and easy - and the entire family scarfed it down. 16 month old, AND husband. I will list how to make this recipe step by step, and attach a link to everything I purchased. All you have to do is click the links, and it will bring you right there so that you can check it out for yourself! I mostly followed Dr. Axe's recipe from his book,  Bone Broth Breakthrough . I highly recommend this book. He mentions the healing powers of bone broth, TONS of recipes to make, as well as a few nutritional guides and challenges to try out! Definitely worth the money. I cooked this recipe in my  Instant Pot . If you don't have one yet - you quite honestly NEED one

Bulletproof coffee. Have you heard of it? I remember the first time I ever heard someone suggest I put butter in my coffee. And then blend it. Yes. You heard that correctly. BUTTER. Bleh. Butter isn't even good for you, right? WRONG. So wrong. I was so wrong for so long, and I didn't even know it. But here's the thing; Butter, grass-fed butter, totally rocks. It's full of healthy fats!!! Great for your teeth and body overall. Should you consume it in huge amounts? Probably not. Should you consume a teaspoon of it in your coffee? Definitely. Do I add more than a teaspoon into my coffee at times? Highly likely. Do I care? Nope. I'm going to give you my personal recipe at the end, but first - I'm going to tell you a secret. I sort of avoided fats my whole life because I was under the impression that eating fat (healthy fat) made you...well....fat. I didn't understand. Your body actually NEEDS fat. A few months ago, I totally embr

Aright. This post might be completely boring to some of you but if ANY OF YOU are on the tireless (pun intended) search of a fabulous bed - look no further. You may or may not know that I love to research things. Every. Thing. Beds are no exception to this rule. We have been wanting a king bed for what feels like forever, but probably was more like - ever since our queen bed has been just a bit TOO snug with a toddler, dog, husband, and myself. I came across many different companies that used organic products. This was important to me. But then I ran into one of two things. Either they were EXTREMELY expensive, or they didn't have great reviews. A few companies even had terrible reviews AND they were expensive. Total bummer. But then, it happened. I came across a company called Tuft & Needle.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE BED I PURCHASED This company is slightly rebellious (which I totally enjoy) and they are bucking the system by calling other companies out. They cl
