Wondering what to do with all those apples you pic

Wondering what to do with all those apples you picked this weekend? 🍎We love this classic recipe from @host_to_perfection, using pantry ingredients we all have on hand. 🥧 The best part? It works well with both peeled and unpeeled apples-so feel free to skip the peeling for extra fiber and to save time!

Now that school has started & activities are under

Now that school has started & activities are under way (in some capacity) our days feel like a whirlwind.🤯

We prioritize healthy meals and snacks for our kids & needed some motivation from the experts!😊 Stephanie from @wellrounded_eats always has the best ideas that are tested & kid approved by her adorable little guys!💙

Before your grocery store run, check out Stephanie’s breakfast & lunch suggestions that will keep them full & energized while making your day a little easier!👏

Breakfast:
-Whole grain pancakes-take a whole grain pancake mix and add additional hemp hearts and flaxseed for a fiber and protein boost! Make a big batch and have enough for a couple of days.
-Yogurt parfaits. Get the kids involved and make parfaits the night before, and if you're on the go just prep in a mason jar! This one is made with siggi's vanilla yogurt, purely elizabeth vanilla almond butter granola and berries
-Oatmeal- can always be made ahead and if topped with peanut butter, hemp hearts and fruit will make for a satisfying start to the day.
-Smoothie bowls. You can add basically any veggie into a smoothie! This one is a blend of 1 cup macadamia nut milk (can use milk of choice), 1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflower, 1/2 banana, 3/4 cup strawberries and 2 tbsp peanut butter.
-Eggs are always a safe bet! A great source of protein and choline- they will keep your little ones satisfied until lunch. Pair with fruit or do make ahead egg cups filled with their favorite veggies!

Lunch:

-Sunflower butter and jelly sammies along with sliced cucumbers, cinnamon apples(add a bit lime juice to keep from browning), raisins for sweetness and pretzels for a little crunch
-Pasta topped with basil pesto with diced nectarine, sliced crunchy bell peppers, and biena snacks chickpeas for additional fiber and protein
-If sandwiches aren't a favorite, go for a dip such as guacamole or hummus for some healthy plant based fats, along with veggie sticks and plantain chips for dipping
Pack a children's cheeseboard! hard boiled egg, crackers, cheese, snap peas and dried mango.

As we hit halfway through this school week, we're all no doubt thinking about keeping our kids healthy amidst the pandemic. ❤️❤️But now more than ever, mental health shouldn't be overlooked. 🤗September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and we're working with @yourmomcares, a wonderful organization founded by some celebrity moms—their kids include musician @adamlevine and actor @jonahhill. 👍Today we’re sharing their very helpful Back to School Mental Wellness Checklist (swipe 👉). Stay tuned for more on this valuable organization and important topic, including our #meetamom interview with CEO @sharonfeldstein (Jonah Hill and @beaniefeldstein’s mom)! 🙌#thelocalmomsnetwork #givingmomsthegiftoftime #suicidepreventionmonth #yourmomcares #adamlevine #jonahhill #beaniefeldstein #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #momssupportingmoms #bekind #selfcare #selfcaresunday #backtoschool2020 #ymc #ridgefieldmoms #ridgefieldct

It is Taco Tuesday, friends!🌮🥑

We turned to our go-to health coach Fumé of @my_gut_my_butt for ways to make one of our favorite weeknight meals, healthier.🙌

If you aren’t already following this savvy super mom, you must. Her knowledge and tools regarding your health are not to be missed...and her recipes are amazing!👏

On the menu tonight-tacos using her homemade seasoning recipe.
So grab a mason jar (any size) or even an old jam jar that you’ve cleaned out and make a massive batch for keeping. I like to make this taco mix in large quantities and store it in the spice cabinet. I promise you, it won’t disappoint.

These measurements will serve about 4-5 people for about 8 taco nights. If you want to make a larger batch just double or triple these measurements. If cooking with fish or veggies, marinade fish or veggies in a tablespoon of coconut oil and a generous amount of your taco mix about 2 hours before cooking.

What you will need:

🧂Cumin 8 Teaspoons
🧂Sea Salt 3 Teaspoons
🧂Garlic Powder 2 Teaspoons
🧂Onion Powder 2 Teaspoons
🧂Dried Oregano 2 Teaspoons
🧂Smoked Paprika 4 Teaspoons
🧂Black Pepper 2 Teaspoons

*If you prefer your mix with a little kick, add 1 teaspoon of Chili Powder and/or 1 teaspoon of Red Pepper chili flakes.
