When I first went vegan, I remember it was challenging to learn an entirely new way of cooking. It seems simple enough to just eliminate dairy and meat – but where do you start? What recipes work beyond just roasting veggies and making smoothies and how the heck do you cook tofu??? It’s been a couple of years, so I forgot how challenging that can be until I had a… Keep Reading
We’re overly excited for the Big Game this year. I know the black and gold isn’t in it, but guess who else isn’t? That’s right – that evil team from the north (don’t need to name names here, we know). That means, we celebrate. I don’t know if you had a chance to watch some of the playoff games this year, but these two teams are worthy of the title… Keep Reading

We first learned of Once Again when Max went into a peanut-free preschool. We had to switch from peanut to sunflower butter and found this local (make in upstate New York!) company making pretty tasty spreads. When I say tasty, I mean,… Keep Reading
The incredible, edible egg. For years, eggs have been a huge source of protein for me. Growing up on a farm, we were surrounded by eggs and basically had them every morning for breakfast. In fact, I can still make the best scrambled egg breakfast sandwich you’ve ever had. And includes eggs, cheddar, and peanut butter. Years ago people looked at me like WTF. Today, that’s basically a keto breakfast… Keep Reading
We’re kind of obsessed with pancakes over here. I mean, who isn’t really? You can play with shapes, flavors, add fruit and spices… Pancakes are so good even Jack Johnson wrote a song about them. So it’s no wonder they have their very own pancake day – which happens to be TODAY – March 5. One thing I love to sneak into my pancakes is protein. It’s usually easy to… Keep Reading
Everyone knows the Vitamix as the supreme blender/mixer do-it-all tool for the kitchen, but are you actually using it? Not much intimidates me, but I wasn’t sure how to really get into the mix of this fancy machinery. I tried making smoothies, but they just weren’t coming out perfect – maybe I was adding too much since it was so big? Blended soups were no problem – my Butternut… Keep Reading
One thing I know about football season – it isn’t good for the waistline. Beers and brauts in the parking lots before the home page are always fun and delicious, but if you didn’t wonder why we wear all those weird wild pajama pants to tailgate in – well now you do (no one fits in their jeans after a good tailgate!). Being a bit older and more refined (grown… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Disney Book Group. All opinions and recipes are my own. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. I thought biting was only for babies. But then, the savage child I am raising bit off the top of my brand new water bottle in a matter of minutes. Then there was the headphone cord, my phone charger… and well, someone was going… Keep Reading
Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. It took a while to really come to the conclusion that one needs such a high-powered blender as a Vitamix (and the latest model – E310 Explorian). Maybe it’s age or maybe it’s just the fact that I’m tired of having half-blended… Keep Reading
All I know is we grew up on the farm with pretty substantial moderation. We had fresh milk, eggs, fruit and veggies, but we also cooked with lard, Crisco and sugar. It was a healthy balance – yes we ate well, not because it was a fad, but because it was our lifestyle. But we also loved to dig into and create delicious treats. When you live in the middle of… Keep Reading
