35+ Freezer Meals In One Day!
I had to do my grocery shopping this past weekend and our internet was DOWN! This meant that I needed to physically go into the store and push the buggy down the aisles… pure TORTURE, right? Well, maybe it doesn’t seem that bad but I have been spoiled by the grocery pickup service.
I did survive and I posted a picture of my overflowing buggy on my Instagram that evening and had a contest for the person who could most closely guess how much I spent. Continue reading “35+ Freezer Meals In One Day!”

Homemade Pedialyte and the BRAT/BOAT Diet
I hate it when my kids get sick and I really hate it when they can’t keep anything down. When the nasty stomach bugs hit our home we try to have a supply of ginger ale and foods for the BRAT/BOAT diet on hand. Sometimes though I find myself unprepared and I need to whip up a batch of this Homemade Pedialyte for the kiddos.
They also like to sip on some homemade bone broth when I have some ready. (aff link)
BRAT/BOAT Diet:
Bananas
Oatmeal/Rice
Applesauce
Toast (crackers count as well)
This helps a lot when I have kids who have been throwing up and/or may have diarrhea.

Oven-Fried Mushrooms
Here’s something that you may not have known about me… I grew up in the mushroom capital of the world! Yep, I did. For a long time, I only associated mushrooms with a REALLY BAD SMELL because we lived right next door to a mushroom company and boy does it stink when they clean out the mushroom houses.
Luckily I have grown to love them and I know that they are really good for us as they are full of VITAMIN D! I did chuckle when I read about ‘sunning’ my mushrooms in my Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. This recipe as it is would not be THM approved but I may try to make some adjustments to it in the future.
This is a recipe that I’ve had for a LONG time and I love these things! I could probably eat all of them in one sitting if no one else wanted any but I do try to have a little self-control so that others can share in their deliciousness. Continue reading “Oven-Fried Mushrooms”
