Another fantastic vegan find. If you’re tired of reading about vegan food – turn away now. But you’ll be missing out – this is the year to be vegan. There are so many delicious options I’m discovering that are meat- and dairy-free that you don’t even notice you’re giving up anything. Case in point my most recent find: Alpha Burritos and Pot Pies. These were a fun find because I… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post by Babbleboxx on behalf of popchips. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com! January is a cold and bitter month to most, but those who grew up in the Northeast love it. We live for the cold mornings and icy commutes because we know that we get to come home to hot and satisfying eats and football games. January was meant for playoff season… Keep Reading
If you would have asked me even a few months ago that I would down this health journey, I would have laughed. I grew up on a farm and we hunted animals to eat. Dairy and meat were staples in our diet. But we as get older and wiser, the evidence is pretty clear that eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes is where it’s at. They say this… Keep Reading
Ball. Bacon. Beers. Three of my favorite things and if I can get them all in one place, you’ve hooked me for life. Especially when said place is also delicious AND kid-friendly. Enter one of my new favorite hidden gems – BarBacon in Union Square. There are so many reasons to love this place. One – it’s convenient to get to. Two – it’s not your average sports bar. Not… Keep Reading
The holidays are always a great excuse for indulging a little more, and for us, it’s holiday cookies. Who doesn’t love a good sugar cookie? But sometimes, finding all the time to bake them can be difficult among holiday plays, shows and shopping (and Santa!). So there is no harm in skipping a step is there? Why bake when Little Bites has come out with Sugar Cookie muffins for the… Keep Reading
Now that I am in my mid-30s (yes, middle-aged and fabulous over here!), I am allowed to admit and say, as you get older you get wiser. I’ve lived long enough to realize this. And that also, time and quality of life (especially as a mom) usually wins, too. I want to enjoy spending what time I have with my family and friends – and being disconnected. And while I… Keep Reading
Admit: I have never gotten a flu shot. Ever (in my defense I grew up on a farm – we didn’t run to doctors for things like this!). Last winter I got the flu for the first time ever. It is worse than anyone ever described. I won’t go into full detail because it is too much TMI, but let’s just say – there were signs it was coming. The… Keep Reading
It’s officially 63 days till Christmas (but who’s counting?). There are two kinds of holiday shoppers – those who prefer stores, and those who prefer online. Since I do most of my shopping online here in NYC, it’s a real treat to hit up the stores and take in all the visuals, especially for the holidays. It’s sensory overload for us New Yorkers – in a good way. I am… Keep Reading
It’s the year of self-wellness, and well, it’s almost November so if you haven’t taken advantage of this free hall pass to rest, relax and take care of yourself, mom – here’s your motivation. If you have been fitting in your energy healing, Barry’s Bootcamp, half marathon training and the occasion spa date like myself – good for you! But that doesn’t you can’t do more. I guarantee as a… Keep Reading
Football season is here – even if the black and yellow might have missed the memo. Not to fear, no fair-weathered fans here. With or without Bell on the field, AB drama and Ben sporting an injury (as usual), we are still ready to rock each week in our yinzer favorites. Whether it’s at the game, at home or watching the game in a local bar (or the NFL app… Keep Reading
