I’ve been home visiting my family this week, and there’s just something about Northern California and 90 degree weather that’s been making me crave lemonade like crazy. There are a ton of healthy lemonade recipes out there, but my mom had Simply Lemonade in the fridge, so that’s been doing the trick this week! …

salty sweet seasons
≫ s h e l l e y ≪ not short for michelle. A clean-ish eating mama to a cub living where the air is salty+life is sweet. wanderlusting through mom life and writing about it...
ooooohhh emmmm geeee I AM SO excited about this recipe! I’ve been dying to have some blogging time this week to share. I’ve been wanting to experiment with a clean coffee cake recipe for SO LONG now. I’m kind of obsessed with Starbucks “reduced fat” [let’s be real, that moosh-ball of cinnamon-sugary goodness is in …
Toddler [and Whole Fam] Friendly French Toast
Feeding a toddler can be like playing eenie-meanie-miny-mo with a grab bag. One day they love something, the next day they’re throwing it at you. Luckily, breakfast foods have been a huge success in our household [knock on serious wood!] because Tanner seems to love eggs, clean muffins, pancakes, yogurt, and fresh fruit. So those …
Blueberry Bliss Power Pancakes
Is there anything better than the smell of fresh pancakes filling your home on Saturday or Sunday mornings? Maybe if they’re pretty much guilt free, and for Valentine’s Day….which these gems are! As a clean-ish eating mama who lives by my own slogan of “eating clean for dirty dessert,” I try to keep most of …

Totally guilt free and toddler-approved, which means whole family approved; what could be better?! I made these on Sunday to prep my little guys’ breakfast & snacks for …
Naner Taco
Once again I was inspired by a delicious TIU Nutrition Plan recipe, banana roll-ups, to recreate an even easier, quicker, less messy, more mama-on-a-quick-mission version. Ingredients: 1 Whole wheat or Ezeikel wrap 1 organic banana (can also add other organic fruit “toppings” like strawberries or blueberries) 1 tablespoon unsweetened, organic coconut flakes 2 teaspoons organic, …
Popeye Approved Smoothie
A smoothie a day keeps the doctor away rather than an apple, in my opinion! I don’t consume nearly enough fresh fruits or veggies throughout the day as I should, so smoothies are my way of sneaking them in. Well, not really sneaking, because I LOVE smoothies. And make one at least 4-5 times a …
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin – Takes the Salad Main Stage
Oh my gosh. I had the BEST salad last week for lunch. It came from leftovers from a teriyaki pork tenderloin I made in my crock pot the night before & a leftover veggie tray grab bag I had from hosting a mommy+baby pumpkin play-date the day before also. It was SO good, in fact, …
Protein-Packed Fall Flap Jacks
Fall. Flap Jacks. Is there anything more festive than the term flap jacks?? I immediately think of the holidays. Add in pumpkin and pumpkin spice, and oh boy, that’s a recipe I can’t wait to get my hands on. Which is exactly what I wanted to do with these gems. It only took me six …
