Homemade Granola

I have had this recipe waiting in the wings for a while now; ironically, not only did I take a minute to make it this afternoon (along with a batch of Homemade Grahahm Crackers), but upon checking my voicemail had received a request for it as well! So, that’s that. Today is the Day! I cannot express…

Links: Life as Mom and Intentionality!

We had a few pretty challenging days last week. This week went much more smoothly and parenting was entirely more enjoyable, but I came across a few excellent posts with which I resonated and thought were definitely worth passing on.

Don’t get me wrong, they are definitely a sweet treat and made to be eaten in moderation, but apart from the sugar…

Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Ravioli

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon cooking. The purpose was tri-fold, 1.) we needed to eat lunch and dinner, 2.) as we continue to move towards a real food, homemade diet I need to learn some new skills (homemade ravioli – never done that before) and 3.) I wanted to prep some meals to pop in the freezer and have on…
