Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
About a year ago, my friend Liz introduced to me Rumchata. Have you ever tried it? If you haven’t, run to the store right now and get some. And, nope, this is totally NOT sponsored. I am just a huge fan. My favorite way to drink it: a rumchata iced coffee cocktail.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I think we all hear that from the time we are kids. As an adult, it is also one of the hardest meals for me to ensure I eat. I’m either hustling to get the kids to school or myself off to work. Some days, I am just so busy at work that I don’t even realize I’ve missed breakfast until lunch hits. Now that I have this recipe for Brown Rice Breakfast Porridge though that isn’t a problem anymore.

This post is part of a sponsored week long event called #MerryEats, all opinions and words are 100% mine.
Earlier this week, I shared with you an awesome idea for holiday entertaining or even to use as a homemade gift. Several others shared more great recipes and entertaining tips as part of our #MerryEats week too.
But, not all holiday entertaining comes in the form of fancy parties and elaborate food spreads. At our house, we do plenty of low key entertaining where there are a just a few people gathering together for a casual lunch. For those times, this turkey apple grilled cheese is the absolute must make recipe!

Our day of yes was inspired by the Capri Sun Refreshers available at Walmart. They are a blend of fruit juice and filtered water mix of juice and filtered water making saying “yes” to my kids enjoying them super easy. There are no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors and they have no added sugar either. Plus, it takes away the mixing that I was already doing with their juice. Finding them our local Walmart was simple too. Our current favorite is the Capri Sun Refreshers Awesomely Apple.
As a parent, I often have to say “no” a ton when it comes to my kids. They frequently want to do things that don’t work in our schedule, I don’t think are a great idea or just can’t happen for some reason or another. But, while my husband has been away, I’ve had to tell my daughter no more times that I like just because I was solo parenting both kids and working so I just couldn’t make things happen. To reward her for being so amazing during that time, I decided we would have a day of yes which included eating caramel apple donut fries for dinner.

With Thanksgiving next week, my brain is already filled with planning our annual holiday party. This will be our 15th year hosting one together and it is my absolute favorite party of the year. Of course, the food has to be perfect so I start planning well in advance. Delicious dips are a must but so are fun dipping options like mini hasselback potatoes.

Thanksgiving and the holiday season are just around the corner. Each year, we host Thanksgiving for our family and I always love preparing for the big day. I like to build in some time to visit with everyone while all the little pieces of the Thanksgiving feast finish up. But, most people arrive hungry so I always have a few little bites out for everyone to enjoy while we chat. One of our favorites is Sriracha apricot bacon brie!

Quick and easy recipes are a must in any busy home. For us, the nights my daughter has gymnastics are the busiest because I leave before it is time for dinner, but still like to leave something that can either be baked or easily reheated for my family to eat. This Meatball Parmesan Polenta Bake totally fits the bill.

Right now, I know everything is all about the pumpkin. You can find pumpkin spice in just about anything…from Cheerios to coffee to chili. But, let’s talk about another fall item that is equally as delicious: apples!

I am a total chip addict. If there is a new chip out in the store, you can bet I have to try it. Of course, when we host parties, chips and dip are a mainstay. We have a few friends who have gluten sensitivities and I, honestly, have not found a delicious, gluten free chip at the store. So, instead, I created my own 2 ingredient gluten free chips.

Over the long weekend, I had a few friends over to help me taste test some upcoming recipes and cocktails. It was loads of fun and I am already mentally planning another one because I loved getting the feedback.
One of the resulting cocktails from our taste tests is this grapefruit prosecco smash and I have to tell you…it is quite possibly my favorite cocktail ever (well, maybe a close second to my wine slushies).
