It’s that time of year where my self control goes out the window. With all the cookies, candies and cocktails everywhere we look, staying on track to maintain a healthy lifestyle isn’t the easiest. I’m horrible at resisting temptation, so I have to make sure that all along the way I have good food options too. That way, making healthy choices is a bit easier.

In addition to all the holiday goodies lying around, I always make sure to have bowls of fruit and vegetables at the ready. Mighties® Kiwi are one of our favorite, healthy staples. Known for being always ripe and ready to eat, Mighties® Kiwi are one of the easiest to eat snacks there is. Around our house, they go into lunch boxes, get taken on the bus to basketball games, are a common after school snack, a healthy side dish at dinner and more. From my 7 year old up to my teens, Mighties® Kiwi are much loved in our home.Mighties® Kiwi

Did you know that Mighties® Kiwi aren’t just for snacking? I love to use this versatile fruit in all kinds of recipes too. My most recent favorite use for Mighties® Kiwi is in salads, and this Kiwi and Chicken Salad with Goat Cheese Dressing recipe is an absolute favorite. I could eat it for lunch and dinner every day and be happy. Salads are naturally healthy, but when you add this superfood boost to your salad, you’re getting:

  • More vitamin C than an orange
  • More potassium than a banana
  • More fiber than the leading cereal brand
  • More vitamins E & K than an avocado

Why not throw a sliced up Mighties® Kiwi into your next salad creation and see for yourself how delicious they can be? Do like I do and keep the skin on your kiwi – it’s really rich in fiber!

If you are like me and are looking to counter the tempting treats of the season, do so by keeping Mighties® Kiwi on hand during the holidays. From recipes to a quick superfood snack, you’ll feel like you aren’t sacrificing a thing when you eat a Mighties® Kiwi.

    We absolutely love kiwi here. I am allergic to bananas and having kiwi on hand helps with the potassium issue for me – when I was running they were a must!
    The goat cheese dressing sounds lovely with the salad ingredients. I’m going to have to try it!

    Random question… You don’t take the skin off the kiwi before eating it?

      The skin is definitely edible and how we eat it, but the reason a lot of people peel the kiwi is because they don’t like the texture. We don’t mind it (and like most fruit there are a lot of extra nutrients – like fiber – in the skin). Eating it with the skin on is definitely easier 🙂

        I figured there were plenty of nutrients in the skin. I was raised eating peeled kiwi, so it never occurred to me to try it with the skin on!

        PS. Caroline prefers it with the skin on. How do we know? She reached out and grabbed a kiwi and just took a bite. She refused to eat it after we gave her a piece that was peeled. 😉

          See, she’s just trying to make your life easier!
          I grew up eating it without the peeling too, but once I had kids I’d cut it in half circle slices and or triangles and let them eat it that way. And now that’s how we eat it. It all came from me being lazy 🙂

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

Spend $15 or more at your bookstore between April 24th and 26th. Submit your receipt at libro.fm/ibd and Libro.fm will email you a link to your free audiobook by April 28th! Easy peasy, right?

To enter, simply tag your favorite independent bookstore here and tell me what you love the most about it! That’s it! Winner will be chosen at random on April 27th. Yay, books!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
