I take full responsibility that it’s 2022 and my son still doesn’t love to “eat his veggies.” I pick my battles, and while he doesn’t eat fast food every day, I am still trying to get him to realize that things DO taste better than just mac and cheese or pizza. But it’s a battle every day. I don’t remember particularly begging my own parents for lima beans and carrots… Keep Reading
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
I know, you’re reading this and thinking – but you’re a HUGE meat eater! You grew up on a DAIRY farm! You’re changing your ways? Yes I am. I went (unexpectedly) vegan. And it was actually a lot easier, and more fun (and delicious!) than I expected. And still is… How did it happen? Right after Thanksgiving and a massive meat feast, I was approached to do this One Meal… Keep Reading
You’re probably already eating a lot of foods that are plant-based and don’t even realize it. So when you think about doing the One Meal a Day for the Planet 30 Day challenge in January, it won’t be as hard as you think. One way that’s super easy to swap out is using a (good) olive oil in place of butters and fats. I have found when you use a… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post thanks to a partnership with Three Bridges. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. It’s World Pasta Day, and a devoted carb lover like myself doesn’t let a day like today just fade away into the sunset. Instead, we do what any good Yinzer would do – we drown it in butter and onions. Normal pasta lovers think a normal pasta dish will cut… 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
Sometimes things just taste better when you make them yourself. Corndogs are hard to beat though – I think mainly cause you just don’t get the carnival nostalgia when you bake these in the oven, but the flavor is there, and trust me – when it’s cold and miserable out, these will instill all those feelings of summer comfort food when you need them most. But for now, let’s talk… Keep Reading
Love to eat donuts by the pool? This summer you’re saying F the bikini and embracing the mom bod? Then I am about to make your summer dreams come true. Remember how you love to love to dunk your donut in cheese sauce? Or how you sprinkle it with broken candy canes left over from Christmas – in July?! Well, now you can stop wondering if the world will love… 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
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
