These Banana Chia Seed Muffins are super moist and sweet, and packed full of healthy ingredients! They're the perfect way to use up your brown bananas. Hey friends!

Both kids are miraculously napping at the same time, so I finally have a minute to post this recipe that I've been making forever. These Banana Chia Seed Muffins are one of my favorite ways to use up brown bananas.

My favorite pumpkin muffins
Remember last Thursday night when I got home late and Nick had dinner waiting for me? Well, sometimes when I don’t get home til late, he likes to cook dinner for me. And sometimes when I get home late, he gets bored and goes out in search of wings and beer with the boys. Like…
Rosemary Olive Oil Wheat CRACKers
I really love baking. Ever since I started the blog, I’ve been stockpiling a list of cute and delicious looking recipes for baked goods. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten around to many of them because for some reason, we’ve had an abundance of sweets in the house lately. Between the Valentine’s snack mix, king cake cookies,…
{Weekend detox} Salmon Nicoise Salad
This past weekend included lots of fun and LOTS of junkfood. Friday night we went to Nick’s favorite place, Buffalo Wild Wings, for beer & wings, and followed that up with ice cream on the way home. Saturday’s Mardi Gras activities included snacks, drinks, cookies, corndogs and late night Mexican & sushi. Sunday we snuck…
Mini King Cakes for Mardi Gras!
One of the best things about living on the Gulf (besides cheaper gas and white sand) has definitely got to be Mardi Gras! When people think Mardi Gras, they usually think New Orleans. But Mardi Gras in the United States actually started in Mobile, Alabama. Lucky for me, one of my best friends, Erin, lives…

Now that I’m working a normal 9-5 gig again, and Nick is out the door most days by 0630, weekday breakfasts usually consist of cereal or toast, and an iced coffee hastily packed to go. So, when the weekend finally rolls around we like to get a little more creative and whip up something fun…
Nick’s Belgian Ale Pot Roast
On Thursday nights, I take a break from my usual running/gymming routine and go to a fun cardio class. Actually I don’t know if “fun” is the word. Maybe torturous would be more fitting. But torturous or not, the instructor is hilarious and it’s the same group of ladies (and one out-of-place aerobics-loving man) every week,…
Chicken Barley Chili
This warm and comforting Chicken Barley Chili is quick and easy to throw together. The barley adds something a little unique and jarred salsa is a quick shortcut for lots of flavor! A few weeks ago, on a cold and blustery Sunday in Florida, I asked Nick what he felt like having for dinner. His…
Bubble Oatmeal
Most of the time, I like to eat pretty healthy. I know that sounds kind of funny considering all of the posts I’ve shared with you so far, but I swear, it’s true! I read a bunch of healthy food blogs, and I’ve noticed something funny. A new superfood will pop up on one blog…
