Maple Cinnamon Chia Pudding

Maple Cinnamon Chia Pudding

The most perfect weather of the year has arrived.  It is cool enough in the mornings that I want to wrap both hands around a cup of coffee for some extra warmth, but by midday it has warmed up, and the sun is shining bright.  I love it, and it shows in the miles I logged last week between running and cycling.  The girls have been busy playing outside on [...]

Apple Pie Oatmeal

Apple Pie Oatmeal

How many memories do you have involving apple pie?  It’s about as American as you can get, especially in the fall.  Last fall I took my girls to pick apples at an apple orchard in north Georgia.  The trees were all in perfect rows overlooking the Georgia mountains and we had perfect fall weather.  I’m already looking forward to a trip up there this year! Here are a couple photos [...]

Creamy PB&J Quinoa

Creamy PB&J Quinoa

Getting kids to eat quinoa for the first time is equivalent to getting them to eat their greens.  At least, that’s the way it was in this house.  Maybe it’s the texture, or the nutty flavor, or maybe the name alone makes them not so keen.  Whatever the reason, it took some getting used to here.  So if quinoa is a new pantry item in your house, or maybe you [...]

Sweet Potato Peach Muffins

I really don’t think you can have enough muffin recipes.  Healthy, homemade muffins are a great snack for everyone.  They take just a few steps to make, you can always find a way to sneak in some hidden nutrition, they are simple to eat on the go, and freeze for use at a later date.  These muffins were so easy to make since I already had the roasted sweet potatoes [...]

Peach Cardamom Overnight Oats

Peach Cardamom Overnight Oats from Green Plate Rule

I cannot get enough peaches right now.  Every night since coming home from vacation we’ve sat on the patio eating the ripest, juiciest peaches before the girl’s go to bed.  They are so juicy that peach juice runs down your arm and drips off your elbow with every bite.  Nice and messy, and the perfect ending on a hot summer day.  They have been so good I’ve made three trips [...]

Best French Toast Sticks

French Toast Fingers

After reading Victoria’s post the other day about the Best Bread it got me thinking about other dishes that have bread as the main ingredient. What other than French Toast? Kids love to dip anything but what is commercially prepared is never a good option. Here is an easy recipe that you can make today or whip up a batch this weekend and have plenty for next week! You can [...]

Homemade Healthy Granola

Homemade Granola from Green Plate Rule

I always have an abundance of oats in my house.  I use oats for oatmeal, baking, and smoothies, but I have never tried making our own granola.  Last week we were at Whole Foods and they were sampling Ruby’s Gold Golden Granola.  I wasn’t sure what the girls would think of it since we don’t normally buy granola, but when they liked it I knew we should try and make [...]
