Sometimes things just taste better when you make them yourself. Corndogs are hard to beat though – I think mainly cause you just don’t get the carnival nostalgia when you bake these in the oven, but the flavor is there, and trust me – when it’s cold and miserable out, these will instill all those feelings of summer comfort food when you need them most. But for now, let’s talk… Keep Reading
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
I love May. I get the full month to ME. Mother’s Day, Memorial Day weekend, my birthday… it’s just one long month of celebrations, gifts and fun. But let’s talk about Mother’s Day. Frankly, I just want to relax this year. I don’t want an overpriced salad where I have to wait in line and then be rushed out. I don’t want overpriced flowers that will die in two days. … 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
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
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
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
