Corn. It will forever be my favorite vegetable no matter how many others are cooler, trendy or pack more punch. I grew up on a farm (shocker at this point if you know me) and corn on the cob was a rite of passage. We literally could hear it growing at night and counted the days till we sunk our teeth into it. It wasn’t like today when you get… Keep Reading
When I first went vegan, I remember it was challenging to learn an entirely new way of cooking. It seems simple enough to just eliminate dairy and meat – but where do you start? What recipes work beyond just roasting veggies and making smoothies and how the heck do you cook tofu??? It’s been a couple of years, so I forgot how challenging that can be until I had a… Keep Reading
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
You’re probably already eating a lot of foods that are plant-based and don’t even realize it. So when you think about doing the One Meal a Day for the Planet 30 Day challenge in January, it won’t be as hard as you think. One way that’s super easy to swap out is using a (good) olive oil in place of butters and fats. I have found when you use a… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stash Tea. All opinions are 100% mine. Carson: “Hard work and diligence weigh more than beauty in the real world.” Violet: “If only that were true.” Being the Downton Abbey fan that I am, nothing excites me in my old(er) age than settling in for a hot cup of tea at night and some classic British television. But tea… Keep Reading
*This is a sponsored post on behalf of Valley Fine Foods. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. I remember back on the farm (you know, the days before the Internet and Instagram) when we always had time for breakfast. In fact, it was the most important meal of the day because sometimes you just didn’t come back. Not like stepping into the upside-down not come back, but… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of FITCRUNCH with MomsMeet. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com Confession: I’ve crushed on Chef Irvine for many years. I even met him at the Rachel Ray Burger Bash in NYC back in 2015. He’s a chef, he is no BS and did I mention he also has a foundation to support our unsung heroes? Seriously, the best. But then… Keep Reading
Back to school has always been “a thing.” I have to say it’s really the one time of year that I feel has always been crazy, even before Pinterest and social media. I remember deading it as a tomboy and being dragged to the local Jamesway (yes, remember that!?) and then the actual mall over an hour away to hit up JC Penney for new outfits and UGH – dresses….

*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
We’ve all had that unfortunate incident. A hair in our food, a strange stain on the sheets in a hotel, the weird smell coming from the car from something the kids left in there… But one thing you don’t have to worry about anymore is what is inside your Mott’s® Applesauce pouches. In July, they just launched their beloved applesauce available in convenient clear pouches – just in time for back to… Keep Reading
