Alll the joys of BTS (back to school for you NOOBS) are here people! Schedules, homework, tests and yes, school lunches. I didn’t realize that going to our school meant making school lunches for basically the rest of my life. That’s a commitment, so anything making that morning routine easier is MUSIC TO MY EARS. But I also have a picky eater. So all those fancy cute lunches you parents… 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

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).

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
September and the forthcoming fall means a reset for us back at home. We get so swept away in summer travel, bad eating habits and lax exercise schedules that back-to-school also brings a nice structured scheduled back into our lives. I may thrive in chaos, but I still love a good organized week. This also includes scheduling meals in advance and prepping those meals on Sunday – preferably during a… Keep Reading
Kraft Heinz sponsored this post, but the opinions are my own. Ahhhh do you feel that? It’s August and football is in there air – FINALLY. Pre-season games, fantasy football drafts and lots of time scoping the player lists on social media. Is that new rookie for the Black and Gold ready to perform like a Yinzer? While most moms are in back-to-school mode (ok, we are a little too),… Keep Reading

I remember back as far as I can remember celebrating the Fourth of July. Growing up in middle America, it was always big family get-together. Everyone was off school and work, the weather was always great, we would eat hot dogs, sip sun tea, play whiffle ball and set off M-80s in the burn barrel (aka the barrel in your back yard that you used to burn your paper products). Basically… Keep Reading

It’s no secret corn has been one of my favorite (and now Maximo’s) foods of all time. I still remember how traumatic it was to have to cut the corn off the cob for those lonely years I had braces. Please these teeth… Keep Reading
