I was shocked when I polled The Mama Notes Community and discovered only 50% of you meal plan!!! I honestly can’t quite wrap my head around how you can feed a family without planning ahead of time! Do you go to the grocery store multiple times a week? Just cook with what you have on […]

For the past 3 years we’ve been having Overnight French Toast for breakfast and it’s the best way to kick off Christmas Day! It’s so indulgent and delicious, and the best part is that you can prep it the night before so all you have to do is pop it into the oven! Piper’s never […]

Last year I started making our own hot chocolate for the most part, it’s so easy and just so much better than the store bought kind! You can also make it much healthier by reducing the sugar! Here’s how we make ours! Ingredients: 2tbs cocoa powder (higher quality, the better)2tbs agave nectar (honey, maple syrup, […]

Yum! I’m so excited to share our first holiday recipe of the season!! I made these over the weekend and they were a HIT! These donuts are moist, rich & chocolatey and you can leave out the coffee (just sub more cocoa powder) if you’re worried your kids won’t like them. They are also vegan […]

For the most part summer cooking in our house is quick and easy. Although we have YET to fire up our grill (the proximity to our kitchen just makes it annoying, especially now that it’s 95 degrees every day) I’ve managed to make cooking FUN again. I mentioned on Instagram last night that I have […]

I am often alone at dinner time with my girls – and while most nights of the week I try to make homemade, healthy meals sometimes I just need something I can easily throw together. I’ve felt a lot of guilt about weeknight mac & cheese, frozen dinners etc. but have learned to toss these […]

These toddler & baby friendly muffins are so easy to make and my girls both love them. They are naturally sweetened, have whole wheat flour and free from all major allergens (egg, dairy, nuts) and great for baby lead weaning, too! I make a batch every Sunday and we are usually running low by Wednesday! […]

  *This is an older post I’ve updated on 10/5/2018 I’ve posted on Instagram about how I make my own baby food and lots of people have inquired about what I do and I finally got around to snapping some pictures last week! Here’s a quick video on how I make my baby food and everything […]
