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
This post was sponsored by Fresh Avocados – Love One Today® as part of an In-Home Party Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. It’s been an exceptionally fun summer. We’ve been traveling all over the NYC area to friends lake houses from CT to PA and spending a lot of time outdoors and with friends. It’s just like a summer right out… 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
I made this. From a meal kit in a crock pot. Don’t believe it? Let me tell you how I got here…. There are two types of people in this world – those who love to grocery shop and those who dread it. Depending upon the day of the week I can be both, despite the fact there is a Stop & Shop literally around the corner from my kids… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Sunshine Sweet Corn as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. 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
We’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately (wait, that’s all the time) so it’s not as easy to say we will cook a healthy, unprocessed meal at home. But we still don’t want to give in and eat fast food, so what are our options? Luckily – it’s getting easier! Target is always a mom’s favorite place, but they’re giving a lot of natural and healthy stores a run… Keep Reading
How are those resolutions coming along? If you’re like me, by this time of the year it’s getting harder and harder to stick to New Year’s resolutions. That’s why I stopped setting them a long time ago and I just try to take little steps on a daily basis to improve my life. From not having that extra scoop of ice cream, better time management and even simply taking the… Keep Reading
