Less scrolling. More living.
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
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
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
Tailgating gets a bad rep. You think beer chugging and huge men with beer bellies slurping wing sauce, sausages and fries. Not to take all your fun out of it, but tailgating can still be tasty without all the high-calorie artery clogging. Yinz will be livid for me offering lighter options, but let’s be honest – the trick is in the trade. You don’t have to down hoagies on the… 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
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
Refueling your body with the correct and most necessary nutrients after a workout is essential and important. Some want to reach for an indulgent treat feeling they deserved it for completing such strenuous exercise whereas others are meticulous about what they put in their body down to the last gram. Regardless of where you stand on that spectrum, rest assured that Premier Protein is here to help. The new great… Keep Reading
Free Range: (of livestock, especially poultry) kept in natural conditions, with freedom of movement. (of eggs) produced by birds reared under natural conditions. I remember the first time I heard the word “free range.” I was confused by the definition. Growing up on a farm, that was just common sense – there was no definition because we never thought to raise our animals any other way. And listen, I have… 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
This is a sponsored post by trim healthy mama. Thanks for supporting Football Food and Motherhood! This is nothing like discovering a great new cookbook. It’s human nature to form habits, good or bad, and when you’re trying to be healthy – sometimes food can seem boring and bland if all you’re eating is eggs for breakfast every morning. I’ve been loving quite a few (see my collection of favorites… Keep Reading
It’s finally after Labor Day – meaning bikini season is dying down and we can get back to the things we love – carbs. We don’t have to keep ordering the basic kale salad for lunch -we can eat again! Football season and fall is all about comfort – the holidays are coming, big sweaters and big meals. However, now that you’ve been used to all that healthy food all… Keep Reading
