Cinnamon Apple Butter Don't laugh at me but I have been very hesitant about using my electronic pressure cooker (aka. instant pot). I had this irrational fear of it exploding in my kitchen and food all over my walls. I must have read the instruction pamphlet a hundred times, to ensure there was no mistake … Continue reading Cinnamon Apple Butter
Seed Butter Cookies I am always trying to make a healthier treat for my kiddos (and myself). Let's face it, sometimes we just need a cookie! This year, the kids have also been working so hard on their swimming that I feel they needed a healthy treat that would provide some extra protein. Given that … Continue reading Seed Butter Cookies
Mango Protein Smoothie This particular recipe is inspired by one of my favorite Indian drink and it is the mango lassi. Traditionally the recipe involves mangoes and yogurt.

ProYo: This is the first Mommy vs. Tween write up! Sometimes, your children are the ones that decided what you write about. The first time we encountered ProYo was at the Gluten Free Allergy Friendly Expo in the fall of 2016. There were over a hundred vendors and it was pretty overwhelming.

Jenny’s Vegan Chocolate Sauce When I set up the dessert table, I always think that it's not complete till there is chocolate. However, if you are throwing a dinner party and there are a lot of guests then it gets expensive buying allergen friendly chocolate.
