April 28, 2016 By
Written by Christine @ So Domestically Challenged, Contributing Writer Breaking old habits is hard and if you didn't start your kids out eating healthfully, it's hard to get them to enjoy doing so.

Here are my favorites. 7 Easy, Healthy, Kid-Approved Snack Swaps 100% Organic juice with no additives for … [Read more...]

Spiced Pumpkin Pie with Flaky Pastry Crust
October 14, 2015 By
Written by Kari @ KariNewsom.com, Contributing Writer Autumn is officially here! At least in Colorado! We are having beautiful and warm days (high 70's to low 80's), but the nights are cool and crisp! Leaves are turning bright yellow, orange and red - and the morning has brought a slight haze these past few days. Typically I am more of a warm-weather person. I'm all about the sun, flip flops and being outside. That being said, I'm still a Colorado girl at heart. I like to get bundled up in … [Read more...]

Easy “Sun Dried” Tomatoes
September 11, 2015 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer If your garden is anything like mine - you are being inundated by tomatoes... of all varieties... let me explain.

Now my backyard is a total jungle of hundreds of tomatoes. Each week I make 150+ of them into tomato sauce and freeze it. The … [Read more...]
Easy Cauliflower Crust Pizza {for a Large 16 inch Pizza}
August 14, 2015 By
One thing I love is pizza, I mean who doesn't??? There's something nostalgic about it, you bite into a cheesy piece of deliciousness and your tastebuds erupt with excitement and fun memories. We have pizza night on Friday nights, a lot, not always but I'd say at least 1-2 times per month. You can make pizza healthier, for one, done't get delivery, make your own. For the crust, you can use whole wheat (if it's sprouted, even better) use sourdough, use a gluten free flour or even a … [Read more...]
All Shook Up: Fun Homemade Whipped Cream
August 10, 2015 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of sugaring up the kids with whipped cream and candy - BUT - this was fun, they had to work for their whipped cream :) AND it was super easy. When I was in my last few weeks of pregnancy, a few months ago and getting outside with the kids for physical activity has been a challenge! It is easy to send them outside - but they like when they have a task or when I am out there with them :) this … [Read more...]
Tropical Delight Smoothie
July 17, 2015 By
Written by Kari, Contributing Writer There is something about summer that brings with it the need to make me feel like I live near the ocean, palm trees and an abundant supply of coconuts. The truth is, I live in the foothills of Colorado - which I absolutely love - but it doesn't bring with it the euphoria of ocean waves and coconut beverages! This is where I use our love of smoothies to fulfill this need for all things tropical. Everyday during the hot months of Colorado, we … [Read more...]
