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
This post was sponsored by Art of Green® and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I can’t really say where my, shall we call it “passion” for cleaning came from. Maybe it was watching my gram scrub the floors on her hands and knees on the farm or watching my mom constantly make sure everything was orderly, and in the way she wanted it. Regardless, I grew… Keep Reading
Earth Day is obviously a little different this year. But even in a standstill, it still shows up – and it’s celebrating its 50th year. And there are a lot of things to smile about today from your couch. On a grander scale, things outside your small confinements are changing – deciding if they’re for better or worse is your prerogative but here are a few you can’t debate. Our… Keep Reading
*This is a sponsored post on behalf of PackIt. My opinions are my own – of course! Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. School lunches are something that haunts parents just like August is one big Sunday night for teachers. What do we pack? What is healthy yet my kids will actually eat? And how do you keep things actually safe/edible when you “PackIt” at 6am for a 12pm lunch?! Something so… Keep Reading
I received this product from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. Allergies are something new I’ve discovered. It started about two years ago when all of a sudden I was having a hard time running and breathing. I felt I was in good shape, so I didn’t understand why I was having such hard breathing… Keep Reading
Ah, it’s a good time to be Vegan. 39% of Americans reported trying to eat more plant-based foods in 2018 (according to Nielsen). There are more options than ever out there and easy to pick up. From Burger King offering an Impossible Burger to Target carrying easy-to-make options like these Nasoya vegan dumplings, there’s really no excuse to be plant-based these days (at least for One Meal A Day). Going… 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
I love this line from Brooks: A 30-minute run burns 100% more calories than a 30-minute sitcom. With the NYC Marathon coming up this weekend, I’ve having major runner’s FOMO. Every year I wish I decided to run it, but then every year I just don’t know if I have the time to train for it (even though I run at least 3-4 times a week!). So in honor of… 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
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
