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

EVOO – eating plant-based without even realizing it
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
Roasted Beet and Mushroom Ravioli “Perogies” for World Pasta Day
This is a sponsored post thanks to a partnership with Three Bridges. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. It’s World Pasta Day, and a devoted carb lover like myself doesn’t let a day like today just fade away into the sunset.

It’s time to stop hiding your stash
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.

Homemade Mini Corn Dogs (with Vegan Option)
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

This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer is known for rooftop spritzers, sandy days at the beach and park bbqs. So where does a plant-based diet fit into all of these? A lot of advice says to bring your own food to parties so you have something to eat. While that works for… Keep Reading
Use this simple trick to stay plant-based
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
This delivery service has everything (vegan!) you need for the Big Game
So you’re tuning in on Sunday to watch some football? Let’s call it what it really is. The Big Game, as they refer to it, is to many of us losing team watchers a chance to drown our sorrows of our team while hurling judgmental comments at the screen for mistakes our teams, of course, wouldn’t make while indulging in heartbreak gluttony. So you’re gonna need some provisions to get… Keep Reading
This Pot Pie is 100% Plant-Based and Meat Eaters Won’t Know the Difference
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
